CHARLIES ANGELS MAKING A COMEBACK 2 TV

[PU$$YGALORE]

ABC is close to giving a pilot order to a modern version of the classic 1970s TV actioner "Charlie’s Angels."
Josh Friedman, who recently adapted the "Terminator" franchise for his Fox series "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," is onboard to write and exec produce the new "Angels."

Also involved are original "Charlie’s Angels" producer Leonard Goldberg, who launched the series with Aaron Spelling in 1976, as well as Drew Barrymore, who starred in and produced the 2000 film version and its sequel. Sony Pictures TV is the studio.

Insiders said that ABC Entertainment Group topper Steve McPherson is particularly high on this project.

Networks of late have found that it’s frequently a challenge to take on iconic franchises — and several recent reboots, such as "Knight Rider," "Melrose Place" and "The Bionic Woman" have fallen short.

But ABC is riding high this fall with its adaptation of another such property, "V." That show bowed to boffo numbers, although it took a hit in week two.

Sony is also busy adapting another 1970s Spelling (and Goldberg-produced) property, "Fantasy Island" — but as a reality show, along with Mark Burnett. No U.S. network is attached as of yet to that project, which was announced last month at the Mipcom TV confab.

The original "Charlie’s Angels" ran from 1976-81 and was back in the news this summer following the death of original star Farrah Fawcett.

Spelling attempted a revival in 1988, sealing a deal to produce a version called "Angels 88" for Fox. That show never got off the ground, but it eventually led to Spelling’s deal to produce the original "Beverly Hills 90210" (now also enjoying a revival, via the CW).

The franchise then lay dormant until 2000, when the McG-helmed "Charlie’s Angels" feature, starring Barrymore, Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz, was a box office hit. Movie spawned a second edition, "Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle."

It also led to an earlier attempt at a TV series revival, in 2004. That version was written for ABC (again, through Sony) by a pre-"Lost" Carlton Cuse and John Wirth and given a script-plus-penalty order but ultimately didn’t go to pilot.

This time around, a pilot is expected to be greenlit. Friedman, Goldberg and Barrymore will exec produce with Nancy Juvonen.

Friedman’s other credits include co-writing the features "War of the Worlds" and "The Black Dahlia."

Beyond "Angels" and "Fantasy Island," Goldberg was an exec producer on "Starsky and Hutch," "Hart to Hart" and "Family."

The new "Charlie’s Angels" is expected to be geared toward a new generation while paying homage to the past.

[PU$$YGALORE]

more than likely their going to have disney stars that are getting old to do the show....

[Il Primo Uomo]

This could be super cute if done right.

*weeps for Eastwick*

[THENOTORIOUSP.R.A.D.A.]

This will flop hard. A major part of the success the original had was that it was cheesy and it gave young boys fish to beat their meat to on the slick...Drew is my gal and all that but she needs to sit.

[PU$$YGALORE]

drew never disappoints, she usually makes a great effort and it does somewhat well

[THENOTORIOUSP.R.A.D.A.]

Ch...these networks don't have no time for " some what well " anymore and they will drop a bitch faster than some of these fags drop their drawers.

I loved bionic woman

[62901]

I liked Bionic Woman too, I faithfully tuned in every week

But this could be HOT if they do it right. There are some chicks i could see in these rolls

Sarah Michelle Gellar - (Is she too old now to play one of these parts?) I think Buffy set her up for an ass kicking roll like this

Eliza Dushku - I think i heard that Dollhouse was canceled. This could be a vehicle for her. She Sexy and is an ass kicker too

Jessica Alba - I guess maybe she could be too big of an actress now to come back down to tv but i liked her in dark angel

Megan Goode - Would it be too much to ask for a sexy black chick in one of these roles
