As a bit of a film snob who skips most blockbusters... I will be watching the everliving shit out of that.
CHARLIE’S ANGEL’S Reboot Trailer
- Thread starter Scullibundo
- Start date
But that's my take, if the other reboot had played it straight or at serious as this one seems to, there wouldn't have been a sequel. The fact that they weren't what anyone expected and didn't fear making fun of itself, reveling in the campiness of a film based on a cheesy show from the 70s is what made them worth watching imo.
See: 21 Jump Street reboot/movie
Drew Barrymore as Director makes more sense, wonder if they tapped on her shoulder at all; would have been perfect.
Again though the reference point isn't particularly impressive as they specifically put 'From Director Elizabeth Banks', though of course given the limited opportunities female directors generally get it's not surprising!
That may well be why they've done it but I would assume, though admittedly could be wrong, that simply saying it's from a female director isn't going to make a difference to the BO.
Holy shit! I knew it came out in 2000 as I went to see it but it never clicked that's nearly two decades ago!
I saw the first one in theaters, and I kinda wished I hadn't. Looks like a rental at best to me.
She is also a well known actress, so that helps.
I need the killer soundstrack of the first and a creepy thin Glover in the next trailer.
And more Simon says DANCE ROCKWELL! DANCE!!!!
I had also concluded that it couldn't possibly be worse than Full Throttle, if nothing else.
She wrote the screenplay, too.
Could be fun, could be shit. Not looking forward to misogynist reactions, but at least it's not a re-gendering project.
Who is Patrick Stewart playing? I assumed he was Bosley, but that is Banks.
Remember that rumour about some super-duper rich type who paid a Hollywood studio a fortune (like millions and millions) so his offspring could have a major role in a potential franchise film like some sort of weird human based product placement?
Memba' ?
Anyway, this new trailer looks fine I suppose. Fairly inoffensive and slate compared to the McG films (certainly the first one) but it might work.
*cough *

She directed Pitch Perfect 2 which was pretty decent for that trilogy.
She also has some comedic chops.
If this movie has anything going for it it's because she is behind it.
Eh? Honestly Charlie's Angels is the Sonic the Hedgehog of TV/Film. Any attempt to make a new one past its initial conception has never worked saved for that one attempt in the early 2000s that people like for some reason.
With that being said we need to give Kristen Stewart more roles.

First half of trailer was bizarre and confusing, second half a bit better. Gonna be a tough month to release, releases same day as Ford vs. Ferrari (Matt Damon, Christian Bale) which is gonna pull a lot of the guys and a week later Frozen 2 is out which is gonna grab all the families.
Wonder why they don't pull forward a week or two, the only other big movie in Nov is the new Terminator and I can't imagine thats gonna do well after Genisys/etc.

While neither were high art they both benefited from star power, mono culture and nostalgia.
Kids don't watch re-runs nor do modern shows really reference/parody Charlie's Angels anymore so I don't know who this is for. Add this to the pile along with King Kong,Godzilla,Robin Hood,King Arthur and Tarzan of once huge IP's that no one cares about. Plus this has 8 credited writers so I have zero hope that Banks will somehow make a 21 Jump Street.
