Charlie's Angels is a 2000 American action comedy film based on the television series of the same name, created by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts. Unlike the original series, which had dramatic elements, the film featured more comical elements. It is the first installment in the Charlie’s Angels film series.
The film was directed by McG, adapted by screenwriters Ryan Rowe, Ed Solomon and John August. It stars Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu, as three women working in a private detective agency in Los Angeles. John Forsythe reprised his role as the unseen Charlie's voice from the original series. Making cameo appearances are Tom Green (who was dating Barrymore at the time of production) and LL Cool J.
The film was released on November 3, 2000 in the United States by Columbia Pictures, receiving mixed to positive reviews from critics. A sequel, titled Full Throttle, was released in June 2003. A reboot film is currently in production by Sony Pictures Entertainment, directed by Elizabeth Banks and produced by Max Handelman. It is slated for a theatrical release on June 7, 2019.
Natalie Cook (Cameron Diaz), Dylan Sanders (Drew Barrymore) and Alex Munday (Lucy Liu) are the "Angels", three talented, tough, attractive women who work as private investigators together for an unseen millionaire named Charlie (voiced by John Forsythe). Charlie uses a speaker in his offices to communicate with the Angels, and his assistant Bosley (Bill Murray) works with them directly when needed.
