A Pitch Perfect star might tackle Charlie’s Angels for her next project

Pitch Perfect fans are going to be for a huge treat if the latest news out of Hollywood turns out to be true.

Not only are they getting another sequel to the much-loved musical comedy, but now the woman behind the franchise is taking over another film series.

The Hollywood Reporter has said that Elizabeth Banks, who starred in and directed Pitch Perfect 2, is “in talks” to direct a Charlie’s Angels reboot.

Sony has decided to remake the franchise which will, everyone assumes, be completely unrelated to the 00s films with Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu.

After the 2003 sequel Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle failed to live up to the box office success if it’s predecessor and a 2011 TV series only lasted four episodes, it was thought the franchise had come to an end.

Banks will also produce with her husband and producing partner, Max Handelman. The studio is still searching for a writer.

The A.V Club pointed out that with her previous roles and projects being more comedy than drama or actions based, perhaps this could mean that Charlie's Angels will lean more towards the comedy side than action. 

Best known in TV for her work on the hit series 30 Rock, her directorial debut was a box office success with Pitch Perfect 2 taking in over €250 million worldwide.
