Short Takes: 'Alice' to get Sci-Fi twist! Plus 'Howling' Remake

 

Sci-Fi channel is doing a two-night movie event of Alice in Wonderland. This is a ripped-from-Hollywood idea that could turn out pretty fun in its own right.

More news:

• The Howling, the 1981 werewolf-stalker film that spawned six hairy sequels, is apparently getting remade. We'll be there on opening night if this wolf cannibalizes the 'Wolf Pack.'  [EW.com]
• Remember Brittany Murphy? C'mon, she was so hospitable to Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder in Girl, Interrupted! Well, its time to forget about Mayan calendars and the year 2012, cuz she's headlining straight-to-DVD disaster-pic Megafault!
