Kristen Stewart revealed that she “hated” making “Charlie’s Angels,” the 2019 action-comedy reboot of the franchise.
The “Spencer” actor, in an interview for Variety’s “Know Their Lines” sequence, learn certainly one of her strains from the film’s opening scene: “Did you know that it takes men an additional seven seconds to perceive a woman as a threat compared to a man?”
Stewart reacted to the road, calling it a “mouthful at the time,” earlier than reflecting on the Elizabeth Banks-directed movie that’s thought of a field workplace flop.
“We wanted a strong opener, you know? We wanted to really like broadcast what the movie was about. It was a good idea at the time. I hated making that movie. I don’t know what else to say to you,” mentioned Stewart, Variety’s Sundance cowl star.
Stewart, who starred within the reboot alongside Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska, went on to point out appreciation to a trio of Angels who preceded her.
“Honestly, the three — you can’t touch [them]. Cameron [Diaz], Lucy [Liu] and Drew [Barrymore]. I love that movie. I love that movie. If that says anything,” Stewart mentioned of the 2000 “Charlie’s Angels” film.
Banks spoke out in regards to the movie in an interview with Rolling Stone journal final 12 months and pointed to the media for wanting to debate it as a “feminist manifesto.”
“People kept saying, ‘You’re the first female director of Charlie’s Angels!’ And I was like, ‘They’ve only done a TV show and McG’s movies… what are you talking about? There’s not this long legacy,’” she mentioned. “I just loved the franchise. There was not this gendered agenda from me. That was very much laid on top of the work, and it was a little bit of a bummer. It felt like it pigeonholed me and the audience for the movie.”
She later added that it was a “real bummer” to lose management of “the narrative.”
“You realize how the media can frame something regardless of how you’ve framed it,” Banks mentioned. “I happen to be a woman who directed a ‘Charlie’s Angels’ movie that happened to star three incredible women. You can’t control the media saying, ‘You’re a lady director, and that’s special!’ — which it is, but it’s not the only thing.”
