Regina Hall<\/a> was \u201cvery jealous\u201d of her Ally McBeal<\/a> costar Lucy Liu<\/a> for landing a role in Charlie\u2019s Angels<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The One Battle After Another star told Drew Barrymore<\/a>, who famously starred alongside Liu in the 2000 film and its 2003 sequel, that she had also auditioned to join the franchise while visiting her talk show on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the time, I was very jealous [of Liu] because I had auditioned for Charlie’s Angels and I wanted it,\u201d Hall explained on The Drew Barrymore Show<\/a>. “I was never gonna get it, but I looked at it and I was like, \u2018Who got who got Charlie’s Angels? Because it was so anticipated.\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

While she may not have gotten the role, Hall acknowledged that the film\u2019s casting director got it right in the end.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMe and my friends, we all went to see it opening weekend is that we loved every single one of you,\u201d she said. \u201cWe were not, we didn’t have one ounce of disappointment, and I was like, \u2018Lucy’s amazing. Cameron [Diaz] was amazing. You’re amazing in the film.\u2019 So good.\u201d<\/p>\n

A continuation of the hit \u201870s series of the same name, Charlie\u2019s Angels followed three private investigators Natalie (Diaz), Dylan (Barrymore), and Alex (Liu) as they are assigned a dangerous mission by their mysterious boss, Charlie (voiced by John Forsythe). The trio later reprised their roles in its 2003 sequel, Charlie\u2019s Angels: Full Throttle.<\/p>\n

But Barrymore wasn\u2019t ready for Hall\u2019s Charlie\u2019s Angels story to end at just an audition. \u201cIf we ever make another one, would you do it?\u201d she asked. \u201cThat\u2019s happening somehow. We’re making it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hall was fully on board, replying, \u201cLet’s do it!\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

Barrymore has spoken often about her interest in developing a threequel to Charlie\u2019s Angels<\/a> across the last six seasons of her talk show, going as far as to reveal last November that she\u2019d even called her agent to ask if Zo\u00eb Kravitz would direct the project<\/a>.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not kidding!\u201d Barrymore told Kravitz at the time. \u201cBecause Charlie\u2019s Angels is all about mixing tones! Let\u2019s go!\u201d<\/p>\n

Kravitz replied, \u201cI can\u2019t believe we just made a deal on television!\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
