Charlie's Angeles

Like a disembodied voice emanating from a speakerphone, Sony's Charlie's Angels could be the talk of the town in summer 2000. With Drew Barrymore and Aaron Spelling producing and The Waterboy's Frank Coraci in the running to direct a hot young cast (said to include Barrymore, who'll likely be joined by Angelina Jolie and either Lauryn Hill or Halle Berry), what can be bad? Even Charlie himself, John Forsythe, is in talks to reprise his original role. Considering the merchandising bonanza the original Angels sparked in the '70s — remember all those lunch boxes, tiny T-shirts, and feathered-hair starter kits? — a revival now seems like a total airheader, er, no-brainer. "From a girl's licensing perspective," says Calley, "it's an amazing property." We're just waiting for Farrah: The Ride.
