===Film series=== The ''Charlie's Angels'' 1976 original television series inspired [[Flower Films]] production company's two films, ''[[Charlie's Angels (2000 film)|Charlie's Angels]]'' (2000) and ''[[Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle]]'' (2003), with John Forsythe returning as Charlie. Whereas most movie remakes of 1970s TV shows, like ''[[Starsky and Hutch]]'', are actually remakes, the ''Charlie's Angels'' films are set in a different time and thus closer to a film [[revival (television)|revival]]. The mythology goes that whenever an Angel leaves, she is replaced so there are always three. The second film had more nods to the TV series than the first film, with Jaclyn Smith making a brief cameo as Kelly Garrett. ''[[Charlie's Angels (2000 film)|Charlie's Angels]]'' is a 2000 American [[Action film#Hybrid genres|action comedy film]] based on the ''Charlie's Angels'' 1976 original television series. Unlike the original series, which had dramatic elements, the film featured more comical elements than were seen in the series. The film was directed by [[McG]], adapted by screenwriters Ryan Rowe, [[Ed Solomon]], and [[John August]], and starring [[Cameron Diaz]], [[Drew Barrymore]], and [[Lucy Liu]] as three women working in a private detective agency in [[Los Angeles]]. [[Bill Murray]] plays Bosley and [[John Forsythe]] reprised his role as the unseen Charlie's voice from the original series. Making [[cameo appearance]]s are [[Tom Green]] (who was dating Barrymore at the time of production) and [[LL Cool J]]. A [[sequel]], entitled ''[[Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle|Full Throttle]]'', was released in 2003, directed by [[McG]] and written by [[John August]], and [[Cormac and Marianne Wibberley]]. It is the [[sequel]] to 2000s ''[[Charlie's Angels (2000 film)|Charlie's Angels]]'', itself based on the 1976 television original series ''Charlie's Angels''. In an [[ensemble cast]], Diaz, Barrymore, and Liu return as the angels Natalie, Dylan, and Alex, respectively. It sees [[Crispin Glover]] and [[Matt LeBlanc]] returning, as well as featuring [[Bruce Willis]], [[Demi Moore]], [[Carrie Fisher]], [[Shia LaBeouf]], [[Robert Patrick]], [[Justin Theroux]], [[Luke Wilson]], [[John Cleese]], and [[Rodrigo Santoro]], with [[Jaclyn Smith]] reprising her role as [[Kelly Garrett (Charlie's Angels)|Kelly Garrett]], and [[Bernie Mac]] as Bosley's brother. This was [[John Forsythe]]'s final film appearance before his retirement and his death in 2010. The film opened in the United States on June 27, 2003, and was number one at the box office for that weekend, also making a worldwide total of $259.2 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://entertainment.sympatico.msn.ca/movies/galleries/MovieGallery.aspx?cp-documentid=17240697&imageindex=16 |title=Take 1: Movie firsts that changed cinema forever |first=Jonathan |last=Crocker |publisher=MSN Movies |access-date=June 5, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090228035025/http://entertainment.sympatico.msn.ca/movies/galleries/MovieGallery.aspx?cp-documentid=17240697&imageindex=16 |archive-date=February 28, 2009}}</ref> [[Elizabeth Banks]] wrote and directed a [[Charlie's Angels (2019 film)|new film]] of the [[Charlie's Angels (franchise)|franchise]],<ref name=Sep2015TW>{{cite news|last=Verhoeven|first=Beatrice|title=Elizabeth Banks in Talks to Direct New 'Charlie's Angels' Film For Sony|url=https://www.thewrap.com/elizabeth-banks-in-talks-to-direct-new-charlies-angels-film-for-sony/|access-date=September 16, 2015|website=thewrap.com|date=September 15, 2015}}</ref> starring [[Kristen Stewart]], [[Naomi Scott]] and [[Ella Balinska]] as the leading trio of the fighting team, and Banks also star as Bosley, with the film featuring multiple characters named Bosley.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.ie/entertainment/movies/director-elizabeth-banks-to-play-bosley-in-charlies-angels-reboot-37159226.html|title=Director Elizabeth Banks to play Bosley in Charlie's Angels reboot|work=Independent Movies|date=July 26, 2018|access-date=June 22, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Kit |first1=Borys |title='Charlie's Angels' Reboot: Naomi Scott, Ella Balinska Join Kristen Stewart |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/charlies-angels-reboot-naomi-scott-ella-balinska-join-kristen-stewart-1129993 |access-date=July 29, 2018 |work=The Hollywood Reporter |date=July 26, 2018 |language=en}}</ref> It was later revealed that the new movie would not be a reboot or a remake of the franchise but rather a continuation that incorporated the events of the original TV series and the [[McG]]-directed 2000s films.<ref>{{cite magazine |first=Shirley|last=Li|title=Charlie's Angels first look: See Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska in Elizabeth Banks' update|url=https://ew.com/movies/2019/04/11/charlies-angels-2019-first-look/|access-date=April 12, 2019|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|date=April 12, 2019}}</ref>
