Kristen Stewart "Hated" Making the Charlie’s Angels Reboot
In 2019, the long-awaited Charlie’s Angels reboot hit theaters, starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska as the new generation of Angels. While the film received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike, it seems that not everyone involved in the project was thrilled with the experience. In a recent interview, Kristen Stewart revealed that she "hated" making the film.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Stewart expressed her disappointment with the final product, stating, "I hated making it. I hated it. I just didn’t understand what it was supposed to be. I didn’t understand the tone of it. I didn’t understand the way it was supposed to be funny. I didn’t understand the way it was supposed to be dramatic."
Stewart’s comments are surprising, given that she was one of the lead actresses in the film and had been heavily involved in the project’s promotion. However, it seems that her experience on set was not as enjoyable as she had hoped.
According to Stewart, the film’s director, Elizabeth Banks, had a very specific vision for the movie, which ultimately clashed with her own ideas. "Elizabeth had a very clear idea of what she wanted, and it was just not what I wanted," Stewart said. "I didn’t agree with it, and it was just really frustrating."
Stewart also expressed frustration with the film’s tone, which she felt was inconsistent and unclear. "I didn’t understand the tone of the movie," she said. "It was like, ‘Are we supposed to be serious? Are we supposed to be funny? Are we supposed to be action-y?’ I just didn’t get it."
Despite her negative experience on set, Stewart has continued to praise her co-stars, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska, whom she worked closely with throughout the film’s production. "They’re amazing," she said. "We had such a great time together, and I think that really comes across on screen."
The Charlie’s Angels reboot was intended to be a fresh take on the classic franchise, which was revived in the 1970s and 2000s. However, the film’s mixed reception and lackluster box office performance have left many wondering if the franchise is truly doomed.
In the end, Kristen Stewart’s comments offer a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes drama that often accompanies the making of a big-budget film. While the actress may have "hated" making the Charlie’s Angels reboot, her dedication to her craft and her enthusiasm for her co-stars are undeniable.
