Director Elizabeth Banks has reflected on her 2019 movie Charlie's Angels, saying there was no gendered agenda.
In 2019, Banks released an action comedy movie starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska as a trio of female action heroes. Unfortunately, the film underperformed at the box office, earning only $73.3 million worldwide on a $48–55 million budget. The film also received a mixed response from critics, earning only a 52% score onBanks has regretted the emphasis on feminism during the marketing.
“There was not this gendered agenda from me. That was very much laid on top of the work, and it was a little bit of a bummer. It felt like it pigeonholed me and the audience for the movie. To lose control of the narrative like that was a real bummer. You realize how the media can frame something regardless of how you’ve framed it. I happen to be a woman who directed a Charlie’s Angels movie that happened to star three incredible women.
“I remember having a conversation with someone who was like, ‘You guys are going to have a partnership with Drybar’ — which is, like, a hair-blowing thing — and I was like, ‘Alright… but could we have an ad during the baseball playoffs? It’s not only this one thing.’ It was interesting to see how the industry sees things that star women. It was a real lesson for me.
The cast includes Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, Ella Balinska, Elizabeth Banks, Djimon Hounsou, Sam Claflin, Noah Centineo, and Patrick Stewart.Jonathan Sim is a film critic and filmmaker born and raised in New York City.
