Elizabeth Banks gives Charlie's Angels movie fans a first look at the latest iteration in a newly released trailer.
Fans are going wild over the female power-packed installment released by Columbia Pictures Thursday. The eagerly anticipated Charlie's Angels version which was directed and written by Banks (with Jay Basu co-writing) continues the butt-kicking action sequences of the three "Angels" who belong to a team of Townsend Agency's smartest and fearless women highly trained to go on the toughest missions all over the world.
The latest trailer brings forth a new generation of crime-fighters who exist because "traditional law enforcement" are not able to keep up the fight against criminal elements. The Angels are led by Sabina Wilson, who is played by Kirsten Stewart, Elena Houghlin, played by Naomi Scott, and Jane Kano, by Ella Balinska. Banks also stars in the film and plays the role of one of the Bosleys who are strategically and globally stationed.
Those familiar with Banks' work will note the glorious feminism on display in this third installment of the film series. And it is not only the captivating glamour that marks the storyline which later comes out in full display at the Townsend Agency, consisting of "wigs, toys, clothes," once the first closet is opened. But there is also the gadgetry and weaponry---yes, there is a "second closet" stocked with things that "blows up."
Charlie's Angels, which was created by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts, is owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment has been planning the comeback of the franchise since 2015. The latest follows the two helpings so far of the film series, Charlie's Angels (2000) and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003).
The films are based on the iconic crime drama television show of the same name that had aired on ABC from 1976 to 1981, for five seasons, which produced 110 episodes in all. That being said, the latest iteration is considered a standalone sequel, both of the previous films as well as the original series.
It features the new single by Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, and Lana Del Ray. Also starring in this much awaited film are the looker Noah Centineo (as Langston) who spices up things nicely in a dance he performs to the tune of the aforementioned single, Djimon Hounsou (as Bosley), Patrick Stewart (Bosley), and Luis Gerardo Mendez as The Saint.
Sam Claffin, Chris Pang, Jonathan Tucker, and Nat Faxon are also on the cast, however, their roles have not been disclosed as yet.
Official release by Sony Pictures is in November 15, 2019 in the United States and November 29 in the United Kingdom.
