The EASTWICK Pilot Has Hired Its Final Witch!!

I am – Hercules!!
“X-Men” icon Rebecca Romijn (“Ugly Betty”) will star in ABC’s “Eastwick” pilot alongside Lindsay Price (“Lipstick Jungle”) and Jaime Ray Newman (who played the dean's young wife on “Veronica Mars”).
Maggie Friedman, a veteran of “Dawson’s Creek,” “Wasteland,” “Once & Again,” “Jack & Bobby” and “Related,” wrote the pilot, based on John Updike’s novel about a trio of young women seduced by Satan.
The same book, of course, formed the basis of a 1987 George Miller movie starring Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon and Cher.
David Nutter, who has directed pilots for everything from “Roswell,” “Dark Angel,” “Millennium” and “The Mentalist” to “Smallville,” “Supernatural,” “Tarzan,” “Without A Trace,” “Jack & Bobby,” “Traveler,” “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” and “Dr.Vegas,” directs the “Eastwick” pilot.
This is TV's second crack at pilot based on "The Witches of Eastwick." In 1992, writer-producers Carlton Cuse and Jeffrey Boam mounted an NBC version starring Catherine Mary Stewart, Julia Campbell, Ally Walker and Michael Siberri.
