- The feature film was originally planned as a traditional TV-to-film remake directed by actor/director Ted Bessell (Donald on That Girl). The film property was in pre-production with producer/director Penny Marshall's team at Paramount in the mid-1990s. Marshall first hired former Laverne & Shirley staff writer Monica Johnson to come up with a script. Eventually, Richard Curtis (Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)) took a crack at the story, as did Broadway playwright Douglas Carter Beane. His 1996 stage reading cast Melanie Griffith as Samantha, and was supposed to be a vehicle to revive Griffith's career. After the sudden and unexpected death of Mr. Bessell from an aortic aneurysm on October 6, 1996, all Bewitched feature film plans were halted, until Penny Marshall later teamed with producers Lucy Fisher and Douglas Wick's Red Wagon Entertainment at Sony/Columbia Pictures.
