Sigh.
Hollywood will never stop murdering our beloved classics, but this time they are taking a gem from the silver screen and butchering it for television. ABC has ordered a TV pilot based on "The Witches of Eastwick." NBC shot a pilot for Eastwick in 1992, but it never got picked up. Um....shouldn't that have been a sign to ABC?
The new pilot will be written by Maggie Friedman who has written a few episodes of "Dawson's Creek." Variety reports that it will be a "variation" of the movie. Translation: It will be a caca version of the movie.
At this point, I've given in to Hollywood sending our favorites to the guillotine. Nothing really shocks me anymore. They could fucking remake "Gone with the Wind" with Heidi and Spencer in the leads and I wouldn't be surprised. The whores of Hollywood are mass murderers!
And I doubt the shitty Witches of Eastwick TV show will feature such amazing lines as "I always like a little pussy after lunch" or "I hope his dick is bigger than his I.Q." Speaking of Heidi Montag, she's totally going to be in Eastwick. Believe it.
These bastards.

"Ed Westwick is not gay - he's British!"
The Studios/Network are filled with a bunch of retarded sheep without one single original idea in their over-inflated heads.
The team who came up with this shit probably sat around eating an $800 lunch brainstorming (i.e. pulling hit shows out of a hat) ways they could combine Desperate Housewives and Pushing Daisies into one new hour-long piece of shit.
And now we have another classic fucked up because some douche just happened to catch WoE while flipping through STARZ and Cinemax channels in between hookers one weekend.
This mess will probably star either Lucy Liu, Lisa Rinna, Alyssa Milano or all three.
This thing was already butchered. The novel is a fantastic Dark Shadows meets Peyton Place. I can't believe how dumbed-down the movie was. The lame series can't do any more harm, in my opinion.
On the satellite listings for the past several weeks I occasionally see "The Witches of Breastwick" showing on MAX, or HBO, or one of those channels. They should just air that instead.
um this movie is sacred to me. Seriously, it has all my idols in one place in their prime, what's not to love? Witches is one of my all time top five favorites...bitches at ABC are playing with fire, this better be good or I swear the earth is going to open up and swallow L.A. whole...oh wait, it's already starting to do that...never mind.
It'll last a little while; maybe stay for a few seasons. Buffy and Charmed are in reruns, you can only see Wicked on stage until they inevitably make the movie for it, so we're due for another witch TV show. There's still a market for it.
Oh HELL no... if Heidi was in it then Ceiling Eyes would weasel in there too.
Why don't they just make an updated version starring the original cast? That'd be fucking awesome.
If they touch Death Becomes Her then I will personally blow up the world.
I always thought this movie was total sheet.
I cant stand it when people pretend to fuck Cher!
she gots a barbie pussy donw there. No holes you know? She craps out of the back of her head from all those face lifts.
My pain, my pleasure, my heart, my world.
OH HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do NOT fuck with the Witches of Eastwick! I absolutely LOVE that GD movie!!!!
Why can't anyone in Hollywood think up some new shit?
This is going to suck donkey balls.
HELL NO!
SSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH don't give the morons in Hollywood any ideas! "Hey, that sounds like a great idea! 'Gone with the Wind,' but we'll make it politically correct, hip and YOUNG! With pop culture references! To start with, let's cast Sienna Miller as Scarlett and Ryan Phillipe as whatsisname, Clark Gable..."
As for this movie, can anyone play that role more devilishly than Jack Nicholson? Nah, didn't think so. So they should just give up now.
In other ghastly news, we're just a month away from the remake of "The Women." I'm going to wear black with a veil on that day,

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I'd watch that movie.

MK, ya got too many great quotes to use in a measly signature line!
I really hope the show doesn't get picked up and stays locked in a vault somewhere.
That movie should not be fucked with.

Frankly, my dear, I didn't much care for the original Witches of Eastwick, so if they butcher this thing all over again, I really don't give a damn!
In a remake of GWTW, I think Sherri Shepherd would make an excellent Prissy. Her "Lawdy Miz Scarlett, I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies" would be easy for her, plus the actress playing Scarlett would get to smack her one across the face!

Sounds like a studio that needs a tax write-off.
If they try to remake Gone with with the wind I will personally burn down Hollywood

So true! You have to somehow get into the inner circle, aka, the Hollywood Good Ol' Boys' Club. It's sad that so many talented writers never get a chance.
Mean while hundreds of screen writers with original ideas still struggle to make a living.

I think it boils down to desperation. Seems like there are few people who can actually come up with a good original idea these days, so they are content to butcher the classics and try to pass them off as new and cutting-edge to a younger crowd. Not fooling me, though.
Yeah, what Euphoria said. Major donkey balls.

I want to know who the hell signs off on these shitty remakes and actually thinks they are good ideas. How is it that we, as laypeople, can hear an idea and say, "that's idiotic, it's going to flop" and the studio execs don't figure it out until their shows have been pulled and their movies have tanked? Like Cavemen -- the first time I heard they were making a fucking sitcom out of that Geico commercial I said, "That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard." And lo and behold, it flops. Why do these people make millions of dollars a year???
It is pretty fucking sad that an industry with THAT much money can't pay people to come up with more than one semi-original idea a year. Ugh.

I agree that it wasn't all that. However, this new flock of writers and directors have managed to take even the mediocre to an all-time low. And don't get me started on the GOOD movies, musicals and plays. It makes my blood boil.

One more remake and the big one will hit!!! Hollywood and all the unoriginal brain dead skanks will sink into the sea~
And it will be "so long Hollywood- with all the fake tans, nails, noses, teeth, hair, chests, butts, etc. And rehashing of ideas, the world never got to know the real you... RIP- Hollywood!"
Considering all the talent in that film, it was so sub-par and wasted all the star power it had.
So, it just might work for television, because it never should have been on the big screen anyway.
