Sony Pictures has announced plans for yet another feature film revival of the “Charlie’s Angels” franchise.
THR reports that Pete Chiarelli, the writer who adapted “Crazy Rich Asians” for the screen along with the well-received Sandra Bullock-Ryan Reynolds rom-com “The Proposal,” has been hired to pen the script.
The project is reportedly in development now, with one source telling the trade that Drew Barrymore and her Flower Films production banner are back for this version.
Barrymore famously co-starred in and produced the two major “Charlie’s Angels” films in the early 2000s, but wasn’t a part of the 2019 Elizabeth Banks-directed reboot starring Kristen Stewart and Naomi Scott that fizzled at the box-office.
Sony has no official comment on the project. The original series, about three ass-kicking women working for a private detective agency, began as a late 1970s ABC TV series that became a pop culture sensation.
The 2000 film adaptation starred Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Bill Murray and became a smash hit, prompting a sequel. A TV series revival took place in 2011 with Minka Kelly, Rachael Taylor and Ramon Rodriguez among its stars, but lasted just seven episodes.
The 2019 film marks the last attempt. Chiarelli has a screen story credit on the animated feature “Goat” hitting cinemas today.
