Television is not ready for these legendary ladies! “The First Wives Club” is getting a TV Land reboot. The film that brought such classic lines as “There are only three ages for women in Hollywood: babe, district attorney, and ”˜Driving Miss Daisy’ ” into moviegoers’ top film quotes is getting the greenlight this pilot season. The project follows the same story as the 1996 film starring Diane Keaton, Bette Midler, and Goldie Hawn, which followed three former friends who reunite at an old classmate’s funeral; there, they commiserate about their new status as divorcées and hatch the ultimate revenge plots against their exes. No names have been attached to the cast yet and casting is still underway with Greenstein/Daniel, but the pressure is surely high to find women who can rival the original actors. Production for the TV Land pilot will take place in late June in Los Angeles.
