Elizabeth Banks wrote, directed, and stars in the new Charlie’s Angels installment. Based on the trailer, it looks like a new angel, played by Naomi Scott, arrives and seems a bit naive as we follow her learning about what it is to be one of Charlie’s Angels.
She gradually becomes accustomed to the other Angels as they solve cases the standard police aren’t equipped to solve. With a woman director and strong female roles, the next generation of fearless Charlie’s Angels looks like a fun movie to watch as long as it is not too ridiculous.
Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska work for
the mysterious Charles Townsend
The modern and bolder version follows the Angels, which also includes Kristen Stewart and Ella Balinska. Still working for the mysterious Charles Townsend, whose security and the investigative agency has expanded internationally, hiring the world’s smartest, bravest, and most highly trained women all over the globe.
There are now teams of Angels guided by multiple Bosleys taking on the toughest jobs everywhere. The screenplay is by Banks from a story by Evan Spiliotopoulos and David Auburn.

The new Charlie’s Angels movie is refreshing with rapid scenes and costume changes. I only hope the new version catches the audience’s attention enough to validate the prowess of these women.
The rest of the cast looks promising with Djimon Hounsou, Noah Centineo, Sam Claflin, and Patrick Stewart.
Watching to the movie trailer, it’s good to see Stewart in an upbeat role. I knew she had it in her.
The movie comes across so campy it might actually work.
The featurette shows a lot of behind the scenes footage and soundbites from the stars.
The movie clip called “Closet” is about the second closet.
