Alice gets sweet remake

Dante Tomaselli (Desecration, The Ocean), will direct a remake of Alfred Sole’s 1976 slasher film Alice, Sweet Alice.

The original film, released in 1976, went a little like this: After a young girl is brutally murdered during her first communion, her strange and withdrawn older sister becomes the main suspect. Linda Miller and a very-young Brooke Shields were among the cast.

“These new remakes look way too light and modern with the cotton candy casting...CGI silliness,” Tomaselli says. “They look like television commercials! Soon all of our favourites will be zapped out, every last one. So Alfred and I thought with Alice, Sweet Alice, we just want to beat everybody to the punch.”

Needless to say, Tomaselli hopes to make a buck out of the movie, but his motives for the remake aren't purely initiated by cabbage. He claims his main reason is, “Because Alfred asked me to remake it and I love Alice, Sweet Alice with all my heart and soul. It's etched in my psyche; I grew up on the film.”

“I would be very proud and happy to see Dante direct the movie,” says Sole. “I think he is very talented and I'm so proud of him. To think my movie made him want to become a film director… that's quite an accomplishment, I would say.”
