Another pop culture classic gets the "reboot" treatment.

ABC has picked up the hour long pilot of the Charlie's Angels reboot Original series producer Leonard Goldberg shares production duties with Drew Barrymore, who starred in the film revival of Charlie's Angels and its sequel. The biggest details about the show released so far involve Bosley's sexy makeover and that the series will move from its classic location in Los Angeles to Miami.

:pconfused:

I have mixed feelings about this. I just hope it doesnt disgrace the memory of Farrah Fawcett, John Forsythe & Aaron Spelling by being as big a FLOP as the Bionic Woman remake was (and some of you on here thought THAT was gonna be "great' << FAMILY FEUD BUZZER>> )
 
i have reserved hope in that i have none reserved

Robert Wagner is approached by Leonard Goldberg (one of the producers of the original CA series) to play "Charlie"

interestingly enough Robert Wagner was one of the investors in the original show to help get it off the ground. I belive he was considered for the role of "Charlie" in the original series as well at one point.
 
Minka Kelly (Friday Night Lights) and Rachael Taylor (Transformers) are currently in talks to star as the remaining two Angel's in ABC's Charlie's Angels pilot.

If cast, they would join Annie Ilonzeh previously cast in the pilot. Kelly's character will be renamed, Ilonzeh plays Kate and Taylor is Abby in the reboot of this series.

Sony Pictures TV and Drew Barrymore's Flower Films are producing the show, which did an extensive search for the 3 beautiful and tough characters. Producers took a shine to Kelly and are currently reworking the role just for her. As the cast stands now, the character, previously named Marisa, is described "as a former U.S. Marine, a weapons expert trained in all forms of hand-to-head combat and a neat freak."

Taylor's Abby will play the youngest and sassiest of the Angels, the "beautiful and privileged daughter of a notorious Wall Street crook who is an expert con artist herself as well as a Krav Maga expert."

Kelly left Friday Night Lights two years ago and has a recurring role on NBC's Parenthood, produced by Imagine TV, the same company that produces FNL. She will next be seen in the thriller The Roommate from Screen Gems on Feb. 4.

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar wrote the script for the Charlie's Angels pilot and are executive producing with with Leonard Goldberg, executive producer of the original series, Barrymore and Nancy Juvonen.

I mildly enjoyed the films that Barrymore starred in, but have always felt the story is best suited for the small screen. It will be interesting to see if this version has a bit more grit than the original.

What are your thoughts of this news?
