Salma Hayek and ABC are developing an eight-hour miniseries adaptation of the book "Wicked" that spawned the Broadway play. Hayek and her partner Jose Tamez will produce via their Ventanarosa Productions. with ABC Studios. The project is in the early stages of development, so it's unclear whether Hayek will also appear in "Wicked."
Hayek's "Wicked" will be based on the Gregory Maguire best-seller "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West," which led to the Broadway musical. But the miniseries will not be a musical, sources said.
Erik Jendersen, who was a producer on HBO's miniseries "Band of Brothers," is writing the script.
