Mélanie Laurent directs and leads this frothy and undemanding Charlie’s Angels-esque caper that has fun moments but fizzles into nothing

There are almost enough moments of low-level fun to be had in Wingwomen, Mélanie Laurent’s easy, breezy attempt to make a French action comedy polished enough to compete with Hollywood counterparts. The sub-genre has become exhausting of late, the sight of a couple quipping while involved in a pop-soundtracked action setpiece starting to border on parody, especially in this year’s atrocious Chris Evans-Ana de Armas disaster Ghosted. But Laurent, to her credit as director, is less interested in how a shootout can work as an aphrodisiac, and more invested in how it would affect a female friendship.

And so the first time we see her and Bff, played by Adèle Exarchopoulos, fresh from Passages, they’re bantering about the latter’s lacklustre love life while...

Cameron Diaz said she knows who Taylor Swift’s biggest fan is.

The actress told Jimmy Fallon, during Wednesday’s appearance on The Tonight Show, that her friend and fellow actress Tiffany Haddish is the “biggest Swiftie ever.”

Diaz was initially explaining how she ended up at one of the Grammy-winning singer’s Eras Tour shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in August.

“Zoe Saldaña is, like, one of my besties, and she was like, we were talking the night before, and she was like, ‘Should we go see Taylor Swift?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, I think we should, but how are we ever going to get tickets?'” the Charlie’s Angels actress explained. “Then, Elsa Collins calls Zoe the next morning and says, ‘Let’s go.'”

Once they showed up at the concert, none other than Haddish was there, who, Diaz said, is one of the...

In the first season of Netflix’s Resident Evil, a diverse cast of screen veterans and young stars bring the sci-fi terror of Capcom’s long-running game series to life in a way fans have never seen before.

Before diving into the new Netflix series, here’s a guide to the main cast, their characters, and how they’re connected to the original games, as well as what the actors told Den of Geek about bringing Resident Evil to life…

Lance Reddick as Albert Wesker

This Albert Wesker isn’t the villainous, super-powered, leather-obsessed maniac we know from the games. Or is he? Fringe, John Wick, and Horizon Forbidden West star Lance Reddick takes the character in a new direction, with the once-big-bad, now-boring-dad moving his twin daughters Jade and Billie into the Umbrella-funded utopia New Raccoon City, where he’s a lead scientist for the Corporation. Albert seems to be a loving,...

Netflix‘s “Resident Evil” is now available to stream globally, unleashing a new evolution of the popular horror franchise. The live action series stars Ella Balinska (Charlie’s Angels) as Jade Wesker, who undergoes an action horror-fueled quest in 2036. Jade encounters no shortage of monsters, human and otherwise, that frequently force her into survivor mode. Ahead of the series’ […]

The post “Resident Evil” Star Ella Balinska on Lickers, Action, and Getting Drenched in Blood [Interview] appeared first on Bloody Disgusting!.

Before Cameron Diaz was “Back in Action,” the actress got her start transporting drugs across international borders. And no, this is not the plot of her next action film.

Diaz revealed during the “Second Life” podcast (via Yahoo! Entertainment) that she “didn’t work a day” as a model in Paris but, rather, found an alternative profession.

“I was there a full year, and I didn’t work one day. I couldn’t book a job to save my life,” Diaz explained. “I got like one job, but really I think I was like a mule carrying drugs to Morocco — I swear to God.”

The “Knight and Day” and “Charlie’s Angels” action star continued, “It was before Tsa or anything like that. It was like early ’90s. They gave me a suitcase that was locked that had my ‘costumes’ in it — quote, unquote.”

Diaz flew from France to Morocco with a suspicious suitcase,...

On June 25, 2009, Farrah Fawcett died. The star of Charlie's Angels and one of the most iconic posters of all time was 62. The previous month the docu-special Farrah's Story had given an up-close look at her life, courtesy of home movies shot by her dear friend Alana Stewart, as Fawcett was treated for anal cancer, which she was first diagnosed with in 2006. Her story was full of highs and lows, triumphs and tragedies, and her family, friends and the Hollywood community in general were devastated to lose her. And then, a few hours later, also on June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson died. Suddenly, there was only one story unfolding in Southern California,...

Everyone’s a critic, eh, Mayim Bialik?

“Big Bang Theory” star Mayim Bialik was called out this week after she weighed in on a portrait of her painted by a fan.

In an Instagram post published on Tuesday, Bialik shared a photo of the painting, as well as a message from a social-media user who said she had painted the image as part of a “30 day challenge.”

“I love a good challenge. So here goes,” the user’s message read.

“30 paintings in 30 days. 30 minutes each,” the post continued. “Day 1: Mayim Bialik…a personal hero to me, being a Mental Health Advocate and overall great human being.”

Bialik’s assessment of the image might be characterized as lukewarm.

A woman asked him if he would ever play Dylan McKay again for a '90210' reunion.  Check...

“Big Bang Theory” star Mayim Bialik offered an intriguingly interactive behind-the-scenes look at the CBS comedy on Tuesday, sending fans on a hunt to spot her castmates in an Instagram post that was half-“Where’s Waldo?” and half “Mirror, Mirror.”

In her post, Bialik shared a photo of herself gathered with castmates including Jim Parsons and Kevin Sussman with a mirror behind them, and challenged her Instagram followers to pick out co-stars Johnny Galecki, Melissa Rauch and Kunal Nayyar, as well as guest stars Kal Penn and Josh Malina.

“I know you can see me and @kevsussman and @therealjimparsons but do you spy with your little eye @sanctionedjohnnygalecki @kalpenn @kunalkarmanayyar and @themelissarauch ?” Bialik wrote. “And also @joshmalinasjoshmalina Ftw!?”

The Grace Year is set to be published by Wednesday books in the fall.

Elizabeth Banks is adding another credit to her directing filmography. According to Deadline, the actress, producer, and director has signed on to helm The Grace Year, an adaptation of the Kim Liggett novel set to be published next fall, for Universal.

The Grace Year, which is being published by Wednesday Books, is being touted by Macmillan "a speculative thriller in the vein of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Power."

It tells the story of 16-year-old Tierney James who is preparing for her "grace year," the time when women are sent out of the village and into the woods to release their aphrodisiacal magic into the wild. The book "examines the complex and sometimes twisted relationships between girls, the women they eventually become, and the difficult decisions they make in-between."

Noah Centineo is taking over Hollywood. The 22-year-old's career has been on the rise ever since the release of the hit Netflix movie, To All the Boys I've Loved Before. After the film's August premiere, Centineo has been booking new movie roles (Charlie's Angels!), gracing magazine covers, and appearing as a guest on late-night talk shows. Earlier this week, Centineo appeared on The Late Late Show, where he and host James Corden took part in a hilarious sketch, "To All the Guests I've Loved Before." In the segment, Centineo accidentally received a letter from Corden which read, "Noah Centineo, you're so hot, like stupid hot, hot in the way where you don't even know it but you...

The Angels are heading to the big screen once again. Originally a TV series in the 1970s, Charlie's Angels was later adapted into a 2000 action comedy that continued the canon of the show, and that spawned one sequel three years later. In 2011, there was a TV series reboot on the small screen, but it was very short-lived. Now, Sony is bringing the property back to theaters with a new version that will hopefully start a new film franchise. News on the movie reboot has been slow since its announcement two years ago, but with a production start approaching, casting is ramping up.

Charlie's Angels is getting rebooted with a whole new generation of actresses, but you can rest assured it will be a brand-new take on the franchise. While chatting with Entertainment Tonight, Kristen Stewart discussed how the upcoming film will be different from past iterations as she addressed fellow Angel Lucy Liu's comments that the reboot is a "positive result for women."

Earlier this week, Liu, who previously appeared in the hit 2000 film and its 2003 sequel, gave the reboot her seal of approval, telling Et, "It's like Sherlock Holmes. The material in itself is a very different type of literature - and it's not necessarily literature. But it is something that people keep coming back to and they're drawn to. That's something that needs to be explored and if it needs to be explored on all different levels, then it should be."

Stewart, of course, was flattered by the response and...

last month we learned that Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott (Aladdin, Power Rangers) and Ella Balinska (Midsomer Murders) will star in director Elizabeth Banks's upcoming reboot of Charlie's Angels.

This new film seems like it will be taking a different approach than the previous renditions, and while talking to Et about the film, she explained that it's going to be "grounded and well-intentioned".

Stewart has already started training for the film and when addressing Lucy Liu’s recent remarks that the new film would be a "positive result for women", Stewart said:

"Oh, that is really cool that she said that. It is true I think, it is not maybe everyone’s immediate response that it would be, like, something we would have to see again because the one I grew up with was so much fun, and you know, the re-imagining is so grounded and well intentioned and really...

It’s pretty clear from the cast brought together for Elizabeth Banks’ “Charlie’s Angels” reboot that this wasn’t going to be just another campy version of the franchise. That campy, over-the-top “Charlie’s Angels” is exactly what Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, and Cameron Diaz brought to the films in the early 2000s. But when you hire Kristen Stewart to star in the action film, you know it’s going to take the source material a bit more seriously.

Elizabeth Banks has been working to bring a new version of Charlie's Angels to the big screen and now she's found her next-generation Angels. Come inside to learn more!

Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska will be the latest actresses to say "Good morning, Charlie!" as they've landed the lead roles in the upcoming big screen reboot. The initial report comes from Variety who goes on to say the film is being worked on as a sequel of sorts, following on from the original films and showing how the Townsend agency has grown and expanded to include more groups. 

Elizabeth Banks is directing the film from a script she wrote with Jay Basu, and is planning on also playing Bosley this time around. That doesn't seem to jive with the idea of it following on from previous films, but perhaps there's some confusion regarding that particular story point. 

Regardless,...

Director Elizabeth Banks has cast her angels for the latest film adaptation of Charlie's Angels. According to Variety, Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott (Aladdin, Power Rangers) and Ella Balinska (Midsomer Murders) have officially joined the film with Banks taking on the role of Bosley.

The film will focus on the next generation of Angels working for the mysterious Charlie. Since the original films, the Townsend Agency has grown considerably and gone global, providing security and intelligence services to a wide variety of private clients with offices and highly-trained teams worldwide. This film focuses on one of those teams.

When talking about the new Charlie's Angels film and why she's excited about it, Banks had this to say in a statement:

"Charlie’s Angels, for me, is one of the original brands to celebrate the empowered woman since its debut in the ’70s. This film honors the legacy of Charles Townsend and...

Charlie and Sony have found their Angels.

Naomi Scott, who stars as Jasmine in Disney's upcoming Aladdin remake, and British newcomer Ella Balinska are set to join Kristen Stewart in the studio's new Charlie's Angels reboot.

A post shared by Drew Barrymore (@drewbarrymore) on Jul 13, 2018 at 10:57am Pdt

Drew Barrymore spent her day off with Cameron Diaz, and that's exactly how we like to spend our Summer Fridays, too. The 43-year-old actress recently shared a stunning, no-makeup selfie with her longtime friend and former Charlie's Angels costar. In her hashtag-filled caption, Drew sweetly described Cameron as an "old-school sister," and as for their impeccable complexions, Drew emphatically wrote, "#Sunscreenalways."

The two actresses have known each other since they were teenagers and first met at the coffee shop Drew worked at when she was 14. After working on the Charlie's Angels franchise, however, the two became great friends, and Cameron even went on to be a bridesmaid at Drew's wedding to Will Kopelman in 2012. After all this time, it's lovely to see this female friendship still going strong.

The hot, sun-soaked Summer is far from over, so even if you're not bikini-ready, stars in beach-set movies are here to inspire you. The movies have provided tons of opportunities for stars like Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, Brooklyn Decker, Halle Berry, and Jennifer Aniston to strap themselves into sexy swimsuits, so we went ahead and rounded up all the most memorable, iconic bikini moments caught on film. That means hot shots from movies like Baywatch, Charlie's Angels, The Shallows, Goldfinger, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and more are all waiting for you ahead.

Becoming a part of the popular conversation in the mid-1970s was the phrase "Jiggle Television," which was designed by NBC to be an insult to ABC's programming of the time. Instead, it became a short-hand, if you will, to describe shows like Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman, the ladies of Charlie's Angels, and, of course, Three's Company. The latter focuses on Chrissy Snow (Suzanne Somers), Janet Wood (Joyce DeWitt), and Jack Tripper (John Ritter), living together platonically and pretending that Jack is gay to keep their landlords, the Ropers (Norman Fell and Audra Lindley), at bay. The show would turn out to be a combination of slapstick humor and sexual innuendo usually arising from misunderstanding — and it was a huge hit.

what TVs looked like in the 90s (history of sets here)Here's a must read for the day. Over at HitFix, Alan Sepinwall has reached his 20th anniversary as a TV journalist/critic . It's a fascinating piece on 20 years of writing about TV and how much has changed in that medium since 1996. It's a fun history and nostalgia ride, particularly if you're interested in serialized TV (the best assett of TV but it took decades for TV to get there). I love most of the article and I'll save the highlights for your reading there.

Both actors earned their first Oscars for taking on the roles of husband and wife, Ted and Joanna Kramer, who find themselves in a heated custody battle over their son, Billy Kramer (Justin Henry), after getting a divorce. Watch: Oscars Red Carpet Rewind -- '80s Oprah and Pregnant Meryl Streep! The book alleges that on the second day of shooting the opening scene of the film -- when Ted follows a crying Joanna into the hallway -- Hoffman "shocked" everyone on set when he "slapped [Streep] hard across the cheek, leaving a red mark...
