One of my favourite films is being developed for a TV series! Ok...so it's for a pilot over in the States, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to watch it ;)

The ABC network put forward a pilot order for a new version of The Witches of Eastwick, to be penned by Maggie Friedman (Dawson's Creek). The new Witches is said to be a variation on the 1987 feature of the same name.

The movie (which starred Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer) was based on the John Updike novel about three women who turn to witchcraft after losing (or booting) the men in their lives. They conjure up a devil-like character, who then proceeds to seduce all three of them.

Warner Bros. TV has been looking to create a smallscreen version of the franchise for years. In 1992, scribes Carlton Cuse and Jeffrey Boam were behind a Witches of Eastwick pilot for NBC. That version starred Catherine Mary Stewart, Julia Campbell, Ally Walker and Michael Siberri.

Also...Fox developed a different version, also with Warner Bros. TV, in 2002. The abbreviated-titled Eastwick, from exec producer Jim Leonard and scribes Jon Cowan and Robert Rovner, focused on the teenage sons of the original witches. Lori Loughlin, Marcia Cross and Kelly Rutherford starred.

Most of you will probably be familiar with the The Witches of Eastwick musical adaptation, first in the UK. by Cameron Mackintosh, and last year in the U.S. at the Signature Theatre in Arlington, Va. I've never seen it.. Was it any good?

Will this project be just as unsuccessful as the previous TV adaptations? Their chances look pretty grim :/
