Shirley MacLaine and Michael Caine are buddying up for Bewitched at Columbia Pictures.
The two are in negotiations to star in the film adaptation of the popular 1960s television show, along with Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell.
MacLaine would play Endora, meddling mother to witch Samantha (Kidman). Agnes Moorehead played the role on the TV show.
Caine would star as Samantha's father.
Nora Ephron and her sister Delia are co-writing the script.
Bewitched would represent a reunion of sorts for MacLaine and Caine, who first appeared onscreen together in the 1966 film Gambit.
MacLaine is currently filming Curtis Hanson's In Her Shoes, starring Cameron Diaz, for Fox.
MacLaine also stars in the upcoming Richard Attenborough-directed Closing the Ring, a love story set in Belfast during WWII.
Caine just wrapped Around the Bend, opposite Christopher Walken. He is currently filming Paramount's The Weather Man, opposite Nicolas Cage, and has signed on to play Alfred the butler in Warner's new Batman pic.
