Drew Barrymore may not have been short of work lately, but its been a while since this odd starlet has been dancing in the spotlight. But lately she has been thinking of returning to Charlie’s Angels!
Barrymore kicked off an updated retelling of the 1970s television series nine years ago with Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu. Three years later, they returned with Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.
“It’s percolating up,” said Nancy Juvonen, Barrymore’s Flower Films producing partner. “It’s rising to the surface.”
Barrymore added, “They’re hard movies to make, but they’re fun.” And lucrative! The franchise grossed $544 million worldwide, according to boxofficemojo.com.
The Charlies Angels films were fun. Lots of eyecandy and sassy ladies kicking some ass. Lucy Lui is easily the hottest of the three. I liked the films for what they were. Fun silly action fluff. They were not trying to put out some tear jerking masterpiece. They just wanted to have some fun.
I just hope that if this does happen that they don’t use so much campy wire work. That is starting to wear on me badly. Wire action can assist in some of the impossible moves, but when it just becomes too apparent that they are suspended in unnatural poses then physics isn’t stretched – its broken.
And all the peices are all over the ground.
Rumours speculate that there may be another Angel added to the crew (the original series had Fawcett’s character’s sister join) so who do you think would make a good addition to these splodey sassy action ladies?
