The “Charlie’s Angels” Reboot Cast is an Absolute Dream
And you thought the first Charlie’s Angels movie was good. Well, it really was (not the sequel so much) but the much-anticipated reboot sounds pretty darn cool especially since new casting additions have been announced for the famous trio.
Lupita Nyong’o and Kristen Stewart have been rumored to be part of the cast since last year and now Power Rangers star Naomi Scott is reportedly rounding out the trio.
But here is the really amazing part: Elizabeth Banks is directing. Yes she of Pitch Perfect and Pitch Perfect 2 will be helming this film about one of the most popular TV shows of all time. Though it will be hard to beat the perfect 2000s combination of Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore, you know this film will be in good hands.
Banks is just one of the women pushing the needle forward in Hollywood. Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins helped tremendously last summer as well. According to a recent study from the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film, women filmmakers comprised only 7 percent of directors working on last year’s top 250 domestic-grossing films
