Elizabeth Banks has found her next generation of Angels.
The first big-screen treatment of Charlie’s Angels since 2003 has cast Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska in the starring roles.
The angelic trio working for the mysterious Charlie is scheduled to be released on September 27, 2019.
“Charlie’s Angels, for me, is one of the original brands to celebrate the empowered woman since its debut in the ’70s,” Banks who will direct and produce the feature said in a statement. “This film honors the legacy of Charles Townsend and his agency while introducing a new era of modern and global Angels. I couldn’t be more excited to work with Kristen, Naomi and Ella to bring this chapter to fans around the world.”
Back in February Stewart spoke with ET about the possibly of joining the reboot.
“I’m an enormous fan of Liz Banks and I think that she’s the perfect person to tell that story in this era. I would back her absolutely all the way. The movie should still be fun, but if you ground it and make it about women that really know how to help each other, it’ll be perfect to release now,” she added. “We’re all together and strong.”
Former angel Drew Barrymore has recently said that she’s super excited for the new generation of angels and the upcoming reboot.
“I am just excited for them, you know, because every generation that brings Charlie’s Angels out into the world is about the power of three women across and what they can do while loving them and wanting to date them, and working side by side with them, but there’s just something about Charlie’s Angels, that make men and women so happy!” she said. “And it’s so positive. So if they keep that alive, you know in this new integration, it’s just going to be great.”
