‘Charlie’s Angels’ 2019 Trailer Reveals First Look At Kristen Stewart Reboot
Sony and Columbia Pictures have dropped the first trailer (above) for Elizabeth Banks’s upcoming ultra-modern reboot of “Charlie’s Angels,” just in time to play in front of sold-out showings of "Spider-Man: Far From Home."
“Charlie’s Angels” as a series is no stranger to restarts and reimaginings, and Sony has certainly made no qualms about cashing in on reboots of classic properties, so perhaps this was inevitable.
Banks ("Pitch Perfect 2") takes the directors chair for this new outing, as well as appearing in the film as the new Bosley for a new generation of Angels. Said Angels this time around are played by Kristen Stewart, making her return to commercial fare after years of celebrated indie work; newcomer Ella Balinska; and, Naomi Scott, fresh of her turn as Princess Jasmine in Disney’s smash hit live-action “Aladdin” remake.
As we see from the trailer, the story this time around will follow Stewart and Balinska as established agents who induct Scott into their ranks after she becomes embroiled in a plot to hijack and weaponize a dangerous new technology.
Hinted at but not confirmed in this trailer is the fact that this new film will feature multiple Bosleys, including ones played by Patrick Stewart and Djimon Hounsou. The cast also includes Noah Centineo (“To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before”) as a "nerd" love interest, and Sam Claflin (“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire”) in an unspecified role.
The trailer is also keen to remind viewers that pop mega-stars Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, and Lana Del Rey have collaborated on a new single that will debut with the film.
“Charlie’s Angels” originally debuted in 1976 as a detective series starring Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, and Farrah Fawcett. Over the years, the show has been revived numerous times, including a short-lived new series on ABC in 2011, but most notably as a set of films in 2000 and 2003. These entries – “Charlie’s Angels” and “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” – starred Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, and Drew Barrymore, as well as Bill Murray as Bosley.
Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures will release "Charlie's Angels" on Nov. 15.
