If you missed the premier of "The Makeover," which takes place in Boston and brought film crews to Somerville, there's still time to catch it on TV.
Oops. We missed it. Or at least I did. "The Makeover," a Hallmark Hall of Fame film starring Julia Stiles that brought film crews to Somerville's Hudson Street in September, debuted on the ABC television network on Sunday. Luckily for all of us, there's still time to see the made-for-TV movie. (See below.) Based on George Bernard Shaw's play, Pygmalion, the film features Hannah Higgins, played by Stiles, an education consultant who runs for Congress but whose "elitism turns off Boston voters, big-time," according to a description of the film.

You ask, Patch answers.
A new Julia Stiles film, "The Makeover," shot in Somerville at the end of September. We were curious: what kind of movie is it, where can we see it — and when? The film will apparently air early next year, although details vary. According to IMDB.com, "The Makeover" will air in January; the Boston Globe says February. Either way, it should air on the ABC television network. The film is a Hallmark Hall of Fame production with a plot that is a modern-day twist on the George Bernard Shaw classic tale, Pygmalion. The movie stars Julia Stiles, Boston native David Walton, and Camryn Manheim. Along with Somerville, filming also took place in Newton, Charlestown, and Boston.

Crews were scheduled to shoot at "inside locations" on Hudson Street Thursday and Friday, according to an announcement the city sent to neighbors. One neighbor who observed the film crew's set-up said filming will take place at a house near the intersection of Lowell Street. Indeed, the Somerville Board of Aldermen Thursday approved an event permit for the shoot, somewhat retroactively, for 73 Hudson St. and nearby at 20 Vernon St. There was no word, as of Thursday morning, on whether Stiles would be in Somerville for the shoot. In "The Makeover," a comedy, Stiles plays "a driven, Harvard-educated…
