Jan 26 2009'Charlie's Angels 3' Slow-Motion Flip-Kicking Our Way
Ready for more gyrating in boy shorts and casual disregard of physics? Let's hope so, because producer Nancy Juvonen told Sci Fi Wire she's thinking about making another Charlie Angel:
SFW: Are you seriously looking at a third Charlie's?Juvonen: Seriously, I've been in total denial for years. I've been like, "Don't talk to me. Do not even mention it." Then I started, about a year and a half ago, going, "All right, what if I started to think about this again?" Then, about eight months ago, I started actually pitching in my head sort of what I'd do, but we don't want to go back in without story. I want [one] from start to finish, all the way to the third-act ending, a great document. There, we'll go nuts.
SFW: Is the idea the same three Angels, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu—not to start over with a new trio?
Juvonen: I think that's part of it. I'm really into that when the show had the four Angels on for a while, and Farrah [Fawcett]'s little sister, Cheryl Ladd, came in. There was something fun with that, I think, that's very iconic of the show. So I'm a little on that.
SFW: So actresses should start pitching themselves for the fourth Angel?
Juvonen: They should. I'm having a Rihanna fixation myself. What are you going to do?
SFW: Would you get McG again? [He's currently finishing up Terminator Salvation, wants to do Captain Nemo next and may be on the hook for more Terminator films if his first one hits.]
Juvonen: We'd have to do it with McG. I don't think we could do it without McG, and I think that the Angels all at least need to be there.
Yes, don't go back in without a story. Emphasis on story is always what made the Charlie Angel movies landmark cinema. Otherwise it's just some attractive and popular actresses bouncing between ridiculous action and campy eroticism that I have a hard justifying liking an inordinate amount.
My requests for the possible third chapter: a fourth Angel in a wheelchair (but she does all these awesome moves in the wheelchair), Zach Galifianakis as Bosley #3, time travel. And those aren't jokes--that's genuinely what I want to see.

Because Hollywood hates us and wants us to suffer. It's nothing personal. Although even talking about casting Rihanna as a 4th angel is just plain cruel.

I'd rather watch a gay porn than see these 3 in a movie again. Seperate, they are great, together, they suck.

yes, please but only if there is another dancing underwear scene - i don't believe there was one in the second film, so...step it up for the third.

I don't understand why Lucy Loo gets all this work. There are a million asian chicks who are really hot and you can tell when they're looking at you.

@5 Racer X:
I bet you already knew there is a Scream 4 on the way and you said that 'tongue in cheek'.

Galifinakis as Bosley= pure gold.
I hope they can get his twin brother instead though...

A leather-skinned Farrah Fawcett could cameo as the boss of the criminal underwold.

Diaz looked smokin hot in The Mask and then she dropped like a stone. I never thought Barrymore was all that attractive. Lucy Lu is fairly decent but nothing spectacular. I think bringing in Megan Fox as a little sister would liven up things although when visible, those tattoos make her look trashy.
Scream 4? I thought they were up past 5 but then I haven't seen any of those gems.

If Galifianakis was the 3rd Bosley, I would probably explode. That would just be too good.
15. JWM - January 27, 2009 11:10 PM
Oh, seriously? Can't we all cite tough economic times and how Hollywood, as an industry, can't afford to make this? Please?
Um...wait? What? Someone said Scream 4?
Since the government can tell companies to stop wasting money and tell them how to run their business, how about stepping up for this, President Obama?

Good Lord, who cursed LL with that haircut? She appears to be an unattractive young boy...

Zach Galifianakis is the most over-rated and under-funny person on the planet.
Wait, 2nd. 1st is David Spade...by a long shot.

I like Lucy, but she kind of looks like the berries and cream lad in that shot. Elegant!

I have mixed feelings about this. Sure, I want another Charlie's Angels movie just as much as the next guy, but I really don't see how they could top #2, so it would end up an inferior product...
