There's talk of Gilligan's Island, I Spy, The Partridge Family, Three's Company , and, God forbid, Dallas . Soft-core porn with cowboy hats. When I heard that Drew Barrymore was concocting a movie version of Charlie's Angels , I literally screamed. You finally have a good thing going again in Hollywood, with The Wedding Singer , Never Been Kissed and Ever After all kicking commercial butt as well as being decent movies. But I calmed quickly, sure that nobody would take her up on this offer.
Nobody's that crazy.
Then Columbia Pictures bought in on it. And Cameron Diaz hooked in. There's Something About Mary and Being John Malkovich . So, honestly, I just quit listening to any of the hype about Charlie's Angels . Until about a month ago, that is.
