Charlie’s Angels have always provided security and investigative skills to private clients. Now the Townsend Agency has expanded internationally with the smartest and most highly-trained women from all over the globe: multiple teams of Angels guided by multiple Bosleys, completing the toughest missions around the world. When a young systems engineer blows the whistle on a dangerous technology, these Angels are called into action, putting their lives on the line to protect us all.
Charlie’s Angels is an American action comedy film directed by Elizabeth Banks, who also wrote the screenplay, from a story by Evan Spiliotopoulos and David Auburn. It is the third installment in the Charlie’s Angels film series, which is a continuation of the story that began with the television series of the same title by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts and the theatrical films Charlie’s Angels (2000) and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle (2003).
The film stars Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska as the new generation of Angels who are working for a private detective agency. Elizabeth Banks, Djimon Hounsou and Patrick Stewart also star as the Bosleys, Charlie Townsend’s assistants. Sam Claflin and Noah Centineo also star in supporting roles.
New Angels of Charlie
After it was released in 2000, Charlie’s Angels, which attracted all the attention and became one of the iconic films in time, are preparing to be reflected on the big screen once again. As you know, the original version of the film starred Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu. In the 2019 release of the new Charlie’s Angels, successful actors Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska are waiting for us!
The first highly anticipated trailer of the film, which is released in United States on November 15, was released yesterday. As in the other films of the series, we see Elizabeth Banks as the director. Banks says in an interview that he is looking forward to introducing new angels to film lovers and underlines what they’re shooting from the old versions of the new film. Say what? Are we ready to meet Charlie’s new angels?
About the Story
A team of Angels, led by senior operative John Bosley, capture international embezzler Jonny Smith in Rio de Janeiro and turn him over to American authorities. A year later, the European division of the Townsend Agency is informed that Elena Houghlin, an engineer and programmer employed by entrepreneur Alexander Brok, wants to expose her superiors, namely Brok’s head of development, Peter Fleming, for covering up a discovery about how an energy conservation device that she helped invent, named Calisto, has the potential to trigger fatal seizures when used.
She meets with operative Edgar “Bosley” in Hamburg to turn over her findings, but an assassin named Hodak ambushes the meeting and subsequently kills Edgar and leaves Elena to drown. Edgar’s protégé, Jane Kano, rescues her and brings her to operative Rebekah “Bosley” with the help of her partner, Sabina Wilson. Meanwhile, John, who has since retired from the agency, discovers that Rebekah has tagged him with the agency’s specialized subdermal implant without his knowledge.
Rebekah tasks Sabina and Jane, joined by Elena, with breaking into Brok’s corporate headquarters to steal the remaining Calisto prototypes before they can be duplicated. Elena finds one of the devices but is forced to use it to escape, killing a security guard in the process, while the other prototypes are already gone, and Fleming is identified as the thief. Rebekah tracks him to Istanbul, where Jane utilizes one of her old intelligence contacts, Fatima, to locate Fleming. They track him to a remote rock quarry, where the supposedly-imprisoned Smith is revealed to be Fleming’s intermediary for selling Calisto. Hodak is also present and kills Fleming before the Angels break up the sale. Rebekah suddenly disappears, allowing Smith and Hodak to escape with the prototypes.
Returning to their safehouse, Sabina shares her growing belief that Rebekah is secretly working against the agency and has been manipulating them to steal Calisto for her own benefit. While the three ponder Sabina’s suspicion, the safehouse is bombed. Rebekah shows up only to be shot by John, who has come to rescue Elena. Sabina and Jane manage to survive and seek medical help from Fatima. Rebekah reappears and explains that John is the real traitor and that he has spent the last few decades secretly building his own network within the agency after he was passed over to succeed the late Charlie Townsend.
