Bewitched 2: The Transformation of Darrin

From what little I have been told, Will Ferrell and Nicole Kidman are looking to revive the franchise with this movie. The last one Bewitched Ferrell and Kidman played actors who portrayed Darrin and Samantha, in the upcoming film, they will be Darrin and Sam.

If you ever watched the TV show you may remember that Darrin's character changed appearance as 2 different actors, Dick York and Dick Sargent, in the role. The new movie suggests that since the 2 actors were always considered Darrin, there is a certain metamorphosis that took place that caused the character's reconfiguration. Will Ferrell will begin as Darrin followed by David Hewlett as Darrin.
