Lupita Nyong’o and Kristen Stewart are in talks for the new Charlie’s Angels movie

Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect 2) is set to direct the latest film adaptation of the Charlie’s Angels TV show, which has a summer 2019 release.

Casting is underway, and Sony is currently in talks with Kristen Stewart (Personal Shopper, Still Alice) and Lupita Nyong’o (Queen of Katwe, 12 Years A Slave) along with some other undisclosed names. Stewart has been doing some amazing work in the various indie movies she has recently worked on and Nyong’o is another incredible actor so I quite like the way this is heading.

There is no word on the plot for the new version or what tone they will be going for.

Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts created the five-season TV series in 1976 and McG directed the 2000 reboot and its sequel which starred Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz.

Banks, Elizabeth Cantillon and Max Handelman will produce the new film.
