"The Charlie's Girl" is back. The latest version of
, a female-led anti-crime film series, was released last Friday and directed by Elizabeth Banks, who also wrote the film. Kristen Stewart (Kristen Stewart), Naomi Scott (Naomi Scott) and Ella Balinska (Ella Balinska) play a new generation of "girls".
Banks put her own story on the stage of "Girls", but this film continues the tradition of TV shows that began in 1976. After
aired 110 episodes in five seasons on ABC, Banksy’s film is the third in the series, "Charlie Boys" released in 2000 and "Charlie Girls: Full Speed" released in 2003. In 2011, an attempt was made to restart the TV series, but it was cancelled after seven episodes were broadcast.
So why does "Girls in the Thunderbolt" revive every few years?
, Cheryl Ladd, who played Chris Monroe in the TV series from 1977 to 1981, has a theory.
Ladd told CNN: "When filming this TV series, this is something that no one has ever done." "None of us really wants to be men, we are women, 100% women, we are powerful and smart , Fun, and smart."
"Charlie Charlie" is-and still is-iconic.
"That show is hot and avant-garde, because screenwriter Aaron Spalling insisted on some bikinis and occasionally some sexy clothes, so everyone decided to abandon it, let's face it, it’s not Shakespeare, "Ladd commented on the TV show that way. "But this is definitely something that the whole family can watch together for different reasons."
Ladd said that the early "Charlie Girl" mode was so special that the audience wanted to relive it. In 2018, Ladd participated in her first autograph meeting, and she was surprised that so many fans of "Charlie Girl" were present.
"This role has undoubtedly changed my life," she said. "It gave me a 40-year career, so I only have good memories." After Farrah Fawcett played the famous private detective Jill Munroe, Rad got the role. Role opportunity. But Ladd refused at first, she didn't know how to adapt to the show.
"Finally, Aaron looked at hundreds of girls. One night I saw him in a restaurant. The next day he called me and said, "Can you come in and talk to me?" So I went in and talked to him. Talked. I said, ‘okay, what do I want to play? No one can come here. I told him that I must play a real person, if she can be funny and have some kind of character that can be portrayed. "
had an idea, and they came up with the idea of letting her play Fawcett's little sister. Fawcett is a new investigator. She often completes tasks awkwardly and is cute.
"I only knew then , I have a role to play. This gave me a little advantage and people accepted me," Ladd recalled.
Ladd hadn’t watched the latest "Girls of the Thunderbolt", but she said she supported the movie and planned to watch it in the cinema.
Ladd explained: "I want What I'm saying is that the first "Charlie Girl" is a sweet tribute to "Charlie Girl", but it is also fresh. "I think this combination is more in line with the expectations of old fans of "Charlie Girl". It's a bit like they are in love, a bit comedy, a bit sexy, a bit fun, and some girls are really crazy about each other and support each other. "
CNN interviewed Barrymore at an event called AY on Thursday. She is considered the producer of "Girls in the Thunderbolt" and she said she hopes this new film will succeed.
Ladd’s praise surprised her.
"Chrissy Monroe!" Barrymore screamed at Ladd. "I love her."
