Variety has an article up about a forthcoming TV pilot based on the John Updike novel The Witches of Eastwick. I already knew about the 1980s movie adaptation, but I didn't realize that this will be the third attempt to turn the book into a television show*. I'm not an Updike fan, so I've never read The Witches of Eastwick, but I'd bet a crisp $5 bill they went for the "Desperate Housewives... but evil!" sales pitch.

*And there's a musical version, too!
