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.”
Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska are the new Angels and we’ll get to see the movie when it hits theaters on November 1st!
