COCAINE BEAR Gets Higher And Never Comes Down In The First Trailer
JFC… and this is what Elizabeth Banks is following up with after her Charlie’s Angels revival? Golly. If a film title like Cocaine Bear doesn’t pull you in, I don’t know what will…

I honestly don’t know if I can get behind Elizabeth Banks’ own rendition of Charlie’s Angels. I like the concept but it’s tether toward a younger audience along with an electro club redux of Donna Summer’s Bad Girls just wreaks of a lot of “if they can do it, I can do it too”-ness. The new trailer out on Friday certainly tries though, and I might give it a fair watch if I can.
Roughly six months since wrapping principal photography, the new Charlie’s Angels reboot has an official trailer. Actress Elizabeth Banks (Perfect Pitch franchise) brings her own incarnation of the iconic spy team quarterback, Bosley to the fray while helming the new film based on the classic TV series.
It’s been a few years since we last learned that actress/director Elizabeth Banks would helm a theatrical reinstatement of classic television property, Charlie’s Angels. This week, casting is reportedly underway and several names are in the mix for roles, including those of actresses Kristen Stewart and Lupita Nyong’o.
Banks, director of the hit musical comedy sequel, Pitch Perfect 2, will also produce the film for Sony Pictures with her husband Max Handelman. Based on the popular ABC series from 1976 to 1981, Charlie’s Angels centered on three women, accompanied by their associate, Bosley, who work various assigmments as private investigators for the Townsend Agency at the behest of actor John Forsythe’s speakerphone voice.
McG directed two quirky feature contemporary film adaptations in 2000 and 2003 which transitioned the same narrative whilst paving the way for “Destiny’s Child” music fandom and riding the coattails of Hong Kong crossover fight action with the likes of veteran action director Yuen Cheung-Yan. NBC later attempted to bring the TV series back to life and lasted only eight episodes.
Charlie’s Angels is dated tentatively for a June 7, 2019 release. Stewart can be seen next in William Eubank’s subterranean survival thriller, Underwater, while Nyong’o will appear in Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi this December, and Marvel’s Black Panther the following February. (Variety)
