“Charlie’s Angels” is set to land in China on Nov. 15.
The new movie iteration of the 1970s TV show stars Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinksa as the three gun-toting, karate-chopping investigators sent on dangerous missions by the mysterious Charles Townsend, whose private detection firm now has branches around the world. Elizabeth Banks directs.
The Sony Pictures movie will hit mainland Chinese theaters day and date with its U.S. release.
The last “Angels” film, 2003’s “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle,” grossed a little more than $2 million in China. There are now tens of thousands more screens in the Middle Kingdom, which has become the world’s second-largest movie market.
However, none of the new film’s three main stars is of Chinese descent, as was Lucy Liu. Whether that will have any effect on its reception in China remains to be seen.

We’ve got a new trailer to share with you today for Sony Picture’s upcoming Charlie’s Angels reboot. The more that I see of this movie, the more ridiculous it looks. Honestly, I think Charlie’s Angels could be a badass film franchise with the right creative talent. While I’m a fan of Elizabeth Banks, I’m just not finding myself interested in what this movie looks like it’s going to deliver, but it is a Charlie’s Angels movie that some fans will enjoy.
This is a Charlie’s Angels film for a new generation and leading the charge in it are Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska. The story takes things to a global scale as Charles Townsend’s agency has expanded to an international level. Who knows, maybe the film will be better than I think it will be.

Good morning, Angels. Are you ready for some more action? Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for director Elizabeth Banks Charlie’s Angels reboot. This is a Charlie’s Angels film for a new generation and leading the charge in it are Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska.

The new trailer is loaded with action and shows off the actresses kicking ass, and then there are a couple shots of Patrick Stewart and Djimon Hounsou as two of the Bosley characters. You see, the name Bosley is now a code-name used by various people running the Townsend agencies.

When Elizabeth Banks set out to make a Charlie’s Angels movie for the modern era, she wanted a lead actress with a unique blend of talent, notoriety and individuality who could help carry the iconic property in a new direction.
Banks, who directed, produced and wrote the film’s screenplay, in addition to playing an important supporting character, says she found all of that in star Kristen Stewart.
“She’s a world-famous beauty, a style icon, but I think what she’s most known for is living authentically. Just being herself all the time,” says Banks. “I felt that...

Good morning, Angels. Sony dropped a first look at the upcoming “Charlie’s Angels” reboot from director Elizabeth Banks.
The action-packed new trailer, set to a new single from Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande and Lana Del Rey, sees a new generation — Kristen Stewart, Ella Balinska and Naomi Scott — working for the mysterious Charles Townsend.
“I think women can do anything,” Stewart’s character says to a wealthy businessman, who responds: “Just because they can doesn’t mean they should.”
“But I have so many talents,” she coyly says before unleashing a set of killer moves to take him down.
This go-around, Charlie’s top-secret agency has gone global, and teams of Angels are guided by multiple Bosleys taking on dangerous missions.
“We exist because traditional law enforcement can’t keep up,” Banks, who plays one of the many Bosleys, explains to the dynamic trio. Cue the wigs, toys, clothes, and potentially explosive mints.

The reboot button was once again hit for Charlie’s Angels. Following McG’s early 2000s films and even a 2011 television series, Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts’ original creation is now in the hands of Elizabeth Banks. Written by, directed by, produced by, and even starring Banks, the first trailer has now arrived for the action feature, coming this November.
Led by Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska, it’s another globe-trotting adventure of espionage. “It was important to me to make a movie about women working together and supporting each other, and not make a movie about their romantic entanglements or their mother they don’t call enough. When I’m at work, I don’t talk about those things. I get on with my job,” Banks told EW. “It felt important to do that for the Angels, to treat them with the respect their skill set demands.

Since the original films, the Townsend Agency has grown considerably and gone global, providing security and intelligence services to a wide variety of private clients with offices and highly-trained teams worldwide. This film focuses on one of those teams.
When talking about the new Charlie's Angels film and why she's excited about it, Banks had this to say in a statement:
"Charlie’s Angels, for me, is one of the original brands to celebrate the empowered woman since its debut in the ’70s. This film honors the legacy of Charles Townsend and...

Charlie has found his new angels.
Kristen Stewart, Power Rangers actress Naomi Scott and British newcomer Ella Balinska have all signed on to headline the Charlie’s Angels movie reboot, being directed by Elizabeth Banks, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Pitch Perfect actress is doing triple duty on the project by also starring as the titular Charlie Townsend — previously played by Bill Murray in the 2000 original movie — and cowriting the script. Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu played the trio in that film and its 2003 sequel, Charlie’s Angeles: Full Throttle.

Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska better start practicing their best “Good morning, Charlie.” Elizabeth Banks has cast the three actresses in her upcoming “Charlie’s Angeles” reboot, which will mark the first time the female crime-fighters grace the big screen since “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” in 2013. The film is being touted as a reboot and not a revival, as the new actresses will be playing brand new characters who make up the “next generation of Angels working for the mysterious Charlie.” Banks, who is also a producer and helped write the script, will voice the new Bosley.
Stewart is clearly the most recognizable face of the new Angels, but her involvement is somewhat of a surprise given how resistant Stewart has been to joining major studio tentpoles in recent years. News broke last September that Stewart was circling a role in the film. You’d have to...

Director Elizabeth Banks has found her angels.
Sources tell Variety that Sony has set Kristen Stewart, “Aladdin’s” Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska to star in its reboot of “Charlie’s Angels.” Banks will also be joining the trio as Bosley.
Variety first reported that Stewart was being eyed for one of the leads prior to the other two being tapped.
Scott is set to star in the upcoming live-action “Aladdin,” in which she plays Jasmine. The actress already had a rapport with Banks from working together on 2017’s “Power Rangers.” Scott starred as the Pink Ranger, with Banks as villain Rita Repulsa.
Balinska is a British actress best known for her work on “Midsomer Murders.”
The most recent draft of the script is written by Jay Basu and Banks, based on earlier drafts by Craig Mazin and Semi Chellas.
Banks will also produce with her producing partner Max Handelman under their Brownstone Productions banner.

Sony announced Thursday that Elizabeth Banks will now star in her upcoming remake of “Charlie’s Angels” as Bosley, with Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska joining Kristen Stewart as the titular spy trio.
Banks is directing, producing and writing the film, which has had its release date moved out of its summer slot to Sept. 27, 2019.
In the new film, Charlie’s Townsend Agency has dramatically expanded since the events of the franchise’s previous installments, with the Angels in Banks’ film being one of many teams working for the agency around the world. Bosley, originally a male role played by David Doyle in the 1970s TV series and by Bill Murray in the 2000 film adaptation, serves as the technical adviser and comic relief, relaying mission information to the Angels from the mysterious Charlie.

Elizabeth Banks is directing a Charlie's Angels reboot movie, which is scheduled to arrive in 2019.
So, perhaps the Charlie's Angels movies are a bit dated now. The first one was good fun, but the second is best forgotten.
However, the core concept — three badass detectives working for a mysterious billionaire — seems like it could work in any setting. It worked for five seasons on ABC in the late '70s, after all. (We don't speak of the more recent TV reboot attempt...)
And with Elizabeth Banks in the director's chair for a new Charlie's Angels movie, perhaps things will be a little less frenetic this time around.
Charlie's Angel Movie Reboot Release Date
Charlie's Angels has moved from its November 1, 2019 release date slightly later to November 15, 2019, a date recently vacated by Kingsman 3.
Previous release dates include: September 27, 2019 and June 7, 2019. You know, if you were curious.

"Dynasty" and "Charlie's Angels" star John Forsythe has died, aged 92. The actor, who played Blake Carrington in the hit 1980s soap and provided the voice of the mysterious Charles Townsend in TV crime series "Charlie's Angels", died of complications from pneumonia in Santa Ynez, California on Thursday, April 1.
Born in New Jersey, Forsythe started out as a baseball announcer and drama teacher. He began his acting career on Broadway and signed a deal with Warner Bros, just before World War Two. He enlisted in the Army Air Corps. After the war, he co-founded the Actors Studio, where his students included a young Joan Collins, who was to become his "Dynasty" co-star, and appeared in a series of TV plays.
By the mid-1950s he was among the most in-demand TV and radio thespians, and landed a big deal in 1957 when he signed up to play Bentley Gregg in hit show...

Dynasty and Charlie's Angels star John Forsythe has died, aged 92.

He enlisted in the Army Air Corps.
After the war, he co-founded the Actors Studio, where his students included a young Joan Collins - who was to become his Dynasty co-star - and appeared in a series of TV plays.
By the mid-1950s he was among the most in-demand TV and radio thespians, and landed a big deal in 1957 when he signed up to play Bentley Gregg in hit show Bachelor Father.
He continued making appearances in top-rated TV theatre projects and was given his own show, The John Forysthe Show, in the mid-1960s. He also landed a long run in To Rome With Love.
But his heyday as a TV icon was yet to come - he voiced Charlie in Charlie's Angels on television from 1976 to 1981 and then became the star of soap phenomenon Dynasty throughout the 1980s after George Peppard quit as Blake Carrington.
According to imdb.com, he was the only actor to appear in all 220 episodes of Dynasty.
Forsythe had one more successful TV run in the early 1990s as Senator William Franklin Powers in The Powers That Be.
He returned to the spotlight at the beginning of the new century to reprise his Charlie voice in the Charlie's Angels movie and sequel Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.
Forsythe spent the last four years of his life battling cancer. His family has asked that fans donate cash to the American Cancer Society in lieu of flowers.
Flowers will be placed on his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to mark his passing.

John Forsythe, who starred as the urbane Blake Carrington on the 1980s primetime soap "Dynasty" and provided the unseen voice of Charlie on "Charlie's Angels," has died. He was 92.
Forsythe died Thursday in Santa Ynez, Calif., of complications from pneumonia after a yearlong struggle with cancer. He owned a ranch in the area north of Santa Barbara.
With his smooth manner and silver mane, Forsythe exuded paternal power and iron-fisted control on ABC's "Dynasty" as a ruthless Denver oil magnate who dealt not only with the high-stakes vagaries of the oil business but with the even more volatile eruptions of his competitive womenfolk, embodied by Linda Evans' good-girl purity and Joan Collins' bad-girl sexuality.
For his portrayal of Carrington, Forsythe earned two Golden Globes and three Emmy nominations. So popular was the show that in 1985, Forsythe became the spokesperson for a line of men's cologne called "Carrington." He...
