‘Ugly Betty’s Rebecca Romijn Completes ‘Eastwick’ Cast
ABC has finally found the third witch to headline its forthcoming drama pilot Eastwick and her name is Rebecca Romijn, former star of television series like Ugly Betty and Pepper Dennis. I, for one, think this is excellent casting, especially given the retired supermodel’s nice work as Mystique in the X-Men film trilogy. Why didn’t I realize she’s perfect for a witch role before this development?
According to Variety, Romijn will play Roxie Torcoletti, the lead character among a trio of women with paranormal abilities. As previously reported, Lipstick Jungle’s Lindsay Price and Veronica Mars’ Jaime Ray Newman round out the starring cast as Roxie’s fellow witches Joanna Frankel and Kat Rougemont, respectively.
Based on the 1987 feature film The Witches of Eastwick starring Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer, the TV adaptation will also follow a group of single women who simultaneously develop supernatural powers after a little man trouble.
Now that the principal actresses are in place, I’m definitely eager to see if the pilot will lead to a full series pickup down the road.
