Bewitched is a 2005 American romance and fantasy film directed by Nora Ephron. The plot of the movie revolves around movie star Jack Wyatt, who has hit a rough patch in his career. Looking to make a comeback, he signs on to play the role of Darrin in a movie version of the popular 1960s sitcom Bewitched. Jack insists that an unknown actor is hired to play Darrin's better half, the beguiling witch-housewife Samantha's role so the studio finds a newcomer named Isabel Bigelow. Once shooting begins, though, Jack learns that Isabel was cast too well, since she actually is a witch. Read on to know about the cast of Bewitched.
