Elizabeth Banks Reveals Why She Wanted to Reboot 'Charlie's Angels'

Elizabeth Banks is talking Charlie’s Angels!

During a recent interview, the 45-year-old actress opened up about the upcoming reboot and why she decided to take it on as a director.

“I went back to the original idea in Charlie’s Angels, which was that women were in the workforce,” Liz shared with Hollywood Reporter. “And all of the things that I feel are happening in the women’s movement right now, whether it be #MeToo, or — I say this in a time of dire straits for women’s rights in this country right now — but I feel like all those things are happening because women are in the workforce in greater numbers than ever in human history.”

Liz continued: “I just wanted to make a movie about women at work, working together. I wanted to make a movie that was not about their boyfriends that they didn’t see enough, or the cats they didn’t feed, or the mother that they didn’t call, because I don’t worry about those things in my daily life. And so, in that way, I felt like we were updating the idea of Charlie’s Angels.”
