Having a strong female character is one thing, but why would men in particular turn out in droves to see a movie about a group of women doing action hero shyt? That would be a movie that should be marketed towards women. Did she expect men to make this a major hit or something? Should be complaining that women didn't go see it, but that would mean she'd have to take responsibility for her actions.

Whole quote from WSJ

“Whereas the 2000 movie version of Charlie’s Angels, which starred Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz, was heavily imbued with notes of camp and whimsy, Banks’s version, which still has its comic moments, relies more on classic espionage drama. “You’ve had 37 Spider-Man movies and you’re not complaining!” she says, of playing into Hollywood’s reboot fever. “I think women are allowed to have one or two action franchises every 17 years—I feel totally fine with that.”

Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and newcomer Ella Balinska star as the new movie’s three leads. Banks says that she loved writing for Stewart’s character, a spunky queer fighter with a short fuse named Sabina. When asked about how Stewart, 29, adapted to being back in a mainstream role after a string of indie ones, Banks praised the actress’s ability to read the movie business at her young age. “Being in a big franchise allows you to have it all,” Banks says. “I recognize the same thing, it’s almost unfair for women. The best roles are usually in small movies, but then you don’t make any money. It’s okay to want to make money.”

I’m alright with Kristin Stewart but she should have been surrounded by 2 dimes.

None of them had sex appeal :mjlol:


Get a bad Asian, European, and either black or Latina and it would've did numbers

All 3 looked better than those 3 from that last version:comeon:

But this movie had flop written all over it,the movie didn't seem like it was for men so why would men go see it? Maybe next time they will use 3 black women,and have a black Charlie if they want better numbers. Had they used a noteable black woman in this film,it would have made at least another 15 million.
