ABC's 'Charlie's Angels Reboot to Start Filming in Miami in January - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

After a year in development, ABC's Charlie's Angels reboot is headed to pilot production. The Sony TV-produced project was originally set up at ABC with a pilot commitment last November with Josh Friedman as a writer. It didn’t go to pilot stage and, after the upfronts, it was put in redevelopment with new writers, Smallville creators/executive producers Al Gough and Miles Millar. Back then, it was one of 5 projects put on fast-track development under previous ABC president Steve McPherson. After McPherson's successor Paul Lee took over in August, there has been chatter that he liked Gough and Millar's script. Top casting director John Papsidera recently was quietly tapped to start some exploratory search for the leads. The project just released an official breakdown and I hear it has locked in Miami as location for the shoot, eyed for January. Gough and Millar are executive producing with Leonard Goldberg, executive producer of the original series, Drew Barrymore and Nancy Juvonen. The three also produced the 2 Charlie's Angels movies that starred Barrymore. So far, Charlie's Angels has followed closely the successful reboot of another popcorn 1970s series, Hawaii Five-0, which also went through 2 cycles of development until its second script by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Peter Lenkov was picked up to pilot. It went on to become a series, which was recently picked up for a full season. Now let the guessing begin who the new TV angels will be?

But it will NOT be the same-John Forsythe(the voice of Charlie on the original AND the movies),David Doyle(Bosley),and the prettiest angel of all,Farrah Fawcett are all dead.And it won't be the same without Jaclyn Smith,Tanya Roberts and Kate Jackson,either.

While I will agree that it won't be the same, I don't think ABC wants a carbon copy of the original.

I hope Cheryl Ladd, Jaclyn Smith, and Kate Jackson make appearances.

Also, Tanya Roberts and Shelley Hack.

After all those attempts of shooting down the remake of Charlie's Angels, they are going to go ahead with the filming of the reboot? I should oppose this.
