Here we go again. According to THR<\/a>, Sony Pictures is once more attempting to revive the Charlie\u2019s Angels franchise. At this point, you have to wonder: how many times has this property been rebooted? The studio is developing a new Charlie\u2019s Angels movie and has tapped Pete Chiarelli (The Proposal) to write the script.<\/p>\n

Charlie\u2019s Angels Has a Long History of Reboots<\/p>\n

The original Charlie\u2019s Angels series<\/a> aired on ABC from 1976 to 1981, starring Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson, and Jaclyn Smith as private investigators working for the Townsend Agency. Their unseen boss, Charlie Townsend, famously delivered assignments via speakerphone. Over the show\u2019s five-season run, several other Angels joined the team, including Cheryl Ladd, Shelley Hack, and Tanya Roberts.<\/p>\n

Sony first brought the Angels to the big screen in 2000<\/a> with a glossy, big-budget adaptation starring Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu. The film was a major hit and led to the 2003 sequel, Charlie\u2019s Angels: Full Throttle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The franchise returned to television in 2011 with a rebooted series that was cancelled after just seven episodes, a run so brief that many viewers barely noticed it existed, myself included.<\/p>\n

Sony tried again in 2019<\/a> with another theatrical reboot starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska, but this time audiences didn\u2019t show up, and the film fizzled at the box office.<\/p>\n

Now\u2026 Sony is ready to give it another go.<\/p>\n

Kristen Stewart Hated Making the Reboot<\/p>\n

The last Charlie\u2019s Angels reboot was written, directed, and produced by Elizabeth Banks<\/a>, who also appeared as Bosley. As I mentioned above, the film wasn\u2019t received well, and even some of the cast didn\u2019t have a great time, including Kristen Stewart. <\/p>\n

After recalling a line of dialogue from the opening scene (Did you know that it takes men an additional seven seconds to perceive a woman as a threat compared to a man?), Stewart admitted she hated making the film<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a mouthful at the time,\u201d Stewart said. \u201cI remember saying that. That was from a little film called Charlie\u2019s Angels. We wanted a strong opener, you know? We wanted to really like broadcast what the movie was about. It was a good idea at the time. I hated making that movie. I don\u2019t know what else to say to you.\u201d However, Stewart is a fan of the original Charlie\u2019s Angels movie starring Diaz, Liu, and Barrymore. \u201cHonestly, the three\u2026you can\u2019t touch [that],\u201d Stewart said. \u201cCameron, Lucy and Drew\u2026I love that movie. I love that movie! If that says anything.\u201c<\/p>\n

Are you down for another new Charlie\u2019s Angels movie?<\/p>\n
