Whatโs Happening
Breaking it down: Seven years after the last Charlies Angels movie bombed in theaters, Sony is reportedly trying again.
Uneasy Hollywood suddenly realizes it hasnโt rebooted Charlieโs Angels in a minute Seven years after the last Charlieโs Angels movie bombed in theaters, Sony is reportedly trying again. William Hughes โ By William Hughes | | 8:10pm Screenshot: YouTube Film News Charlieโs Angels Copy to clipboard ร Copy Link Copy Link โ Facebook X Reddit Bluesky Email โ 0 Expressing what we cant help but think of as the making a movie for several tens of millions of dollars equivalent of an apparently incurable verbal tic, Hollywood has decided its just got to reboot the Charlies Angels franchise as a movie. (and honestly, same)
This is per THR , which reports that Sony has apparently put a new film version of the classic 70s cheesefest into early development, following some deep, unknowable, and possibly tidal Tinseltown whim.
The Details
Although Sony itself is in no comment mode on the project, THR reports that Peter Chiarelliโa writer whose biggest job prior to this was on Crazy Rich Asians , and who has a story Sonys current animated feature Goat โis being tapped to write this latest version of the story. Well be honest here, folks: This one has us flummoxed.
Its not like Charlies Angels hasnt been a workable brand at some point in living memory: The original show was wildly popular back in its day, and the 2000 film , directed by McG, managed to be a pretty fun time not getting in the way of Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Lius goofball energy. But subsequent efforts to keep the series going fr dont seem to have paid off on producers beliefs that the Angels brand has some sort of inherent staying power.
Why This Matters
The 2003 sequel Full Throttle performed decently at the box office, but a 2011 attempt to bring the Angels back on TV crashed out after less than a single season.
The entertainment world moves fast, and this is a prime example.
The Bottom Line
This story is still developing, and weโll keep you updated as more info drops.
