Looks like Charlie is going to have another mission for his girls…
Columbia Pictures has already contacted Flower Productions' Drew Barrymore and Nancy Juvonen about a sequel to Charlie's Angels. The studio plans on asking McG to return and direct the film with a script by John August (GO). August has reportedly been offered a deal in the 7 figures.
But not so fast…. no one is signed for a sequel. Seems those wacky Studio Execs didn't feel that a Sequel Clause was necessary. Cameron Diaz earned around 12 Million to be in the original, her asking price will probably jump from between 15 Million to 20 Million. Drew Barrymore earned around $9 Million to produce and star in the original, and will most likely demand a raise for her and her partner, Nancy Juvonen. And finally, Lucy Liu earned around $1 Million dollars for the original. Her asking price will probably triple. However keep in mind, that like the TV show, those angels will be pretty easy to replace. The studio would be smart to keep around at least two of the original girls. Maybe adding one or replacing one.
Columbia has probably already started to suck up to the actresses. Lucy Liu has already been given a Porsche..
But don't expect Bill Murray to return. He actually refused to do press for Charlie's Angels, still bitter over the extremely awful shoot. The Angels seemed to have bonded because of the hellish filming, while Bill went into seclusion trying to forget about the mess.
Even without Bill, the sequel will most likely be fast tracked. "You bet there will be sequels. I hope that they can be done with the same cast."- Amy Pascal (President of Columbia) to Entertainment Weekly.
