Getting Started
Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle is based on the Television Series “Charlie’s Angels” created by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts. When Charlie’s Angels was released in November 2000, its resounding success exceeded anything the filmmakers had anticipated. The film’s $40 million opening weekend still holds the record for the best debut by a first-time director.
Just as unanticipated was the breadth of the audience. As producer Leonard Goldberg acknowledges, “we were surprised because, even though we wanted to be respectful of the series for the generation of fans who grew up with it, we also wanted to take the Angels into a new millennium. So we were feeling our way, trying to blend the old with the new. Thanks to McG, we were able to bring in both the audience that remembered the series and an entire new generation.”
The decision to make a sequel was decided informally by McG and his three co-stars some time after the first film was completed. But, says ‘Angel’ Drew Barrymore, one of the films’ producers, “we also made a pact that we wouldn’t do it if it meant repeating ourselves. Now the question was how to balance that responsibility and still have a lot of fun.”
“It all starts with the writing, of course,” Barrymore continues. “In this film we learn more about the Angels, delving deeper into their backstory. We’ve also sharpened the comedy and notched up the action.”
Nancy Juvonen, Barrymore’s partner in Flower Films, and producer of Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, explains that in the first film time was devoted to setting up the concept and the characters. “Even though it had been a popular TV show, there was an entire generation that wasn’t familiar with it,” says Juvonen, “which left us less time to develop the characters. So this was a great opportunity to have all three Angels come back and pick up where we left off.”
In the new film, the Angels’ histories are revealed through a series of vignettes. Barrymore’s character was “the scrappy little orphan,” says director McG, “all over the place, always falling for the wrong guy. We see her wrestling in a sort of backyard circuit as ‘Lady Insane.’ We also see her as a ‘monster’ trucker on the county fair circuit – not the classiest game in town – though she gives it her all.”
Since Lucy Liu’s character, Alex, has been raised in the finest schools, “we see her as a young gymnast being coached by Bela Karolyi. Later, we see her beating a Bobby Fischer-type chess genius in a world championship match in Switzerland,” says McG. “We allude to her being an astronaut in the first film and now we discover she’s also a neurosurgeon.
As for Diaz’s character, “I always envisioned her coming from a happy, idealized Midwestern family with seven older brothers — which is how she learned to be so wild. She has such a great sense of self and she’s so compassionate and caring and optimistic. She sees the world through the bright eyes of the bushy-tailed newborn fawn that she is. Then she proceeds to beat the living daylights out of everybody.”
In Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, the Angels deal with personal problems while fighting crime. They put themselves together with these incredible costumes, then go undercover and kick butt,” says Juvonen, “but their private lives are not exactly perfect.”
Producer Goldberg feels the trick to rekindling the concept was understanding what worked in the original and building on that. “At the same time, we needed to have a few tricks up our sleeve to surprise the audience. This is a movie that has glamour, that has sex appeal, that has dancing, that has really great action all mixed together in one big confection. The audience knows going in that they’re really going to be entertained.”
Returning Heroes & A Villain
Aficionados of Charlie’s Angels will be delighted to know that along with Luke Wilson and Matt LeBlanc, another major character reappears in the film, the ‘Thin Man.’ One of the first film’s more dastardly villains is back to do battle with the Angels. After the original movie was released, the filmmakers discovered that one of the more popular characters in the story was one who never spoke a word.
“But the public spoke,” says McG. “Everybody wanted the Thin Man back. He’s our Jaws. He takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin.’ I just love the balance Crispin Glover brings to the franchise.”
But the Thin Man didn’t start off as the strong silent type. Glover remembers when he read the script for the first film, his character had dialogue. “When they asked me to come in to talk about the role, I told McG I thought it would be better if the Thin Man didn’t say a word and he immediately responded to that idea.”
“I had never done a sequel before, but I really like this character,” Glover admits. “There’s this sense that the Thin Man is trapped in a different time. The fact that he doesn’t speak gives him a ‘silent movie era’ feel. I think audiences responded because they had to use their imagination more, and there’s nothing richer than a person’s imagination.”
With all the action in the film, McG was careful to not lose sight of the human side of the story. “Dylan is drawn to the family element of being an Angel. Natalie’s a truly joyful person and Alex is always trying to please her parents. We take time to breathe life into those areas of their personalities.”
McG also made sure that another prominent facet of the Angels — their love lives — be used to divulge different aspects of their personalities. For instance, “Jason’s not even sure what Alex does for a living,” says Matt LeBlanc who again plays Alex’s boyfriend Jason Gibbons. “And things are further complicated when she insists on a time-out in their relationship. What made it all so appealing was the continuing role-reversal aspect. Here’s this macho action hero who is not at all that way in real life. And he gets beaten down a few times by Alex, who is the real thing.”
New to Angels Family
Joining the cast for the first time is Justin Theroux, whose character, Seamus O’Grady, played an important part in Dylan’s past. Her first meeting with him after many years is intense, according to McG, who told Barrymore, “Seamus is a part of your dark past that you thought had gone away. When you see him, the oxygen just goes out of the atmosphere.”
Barrymore first met Theroux on Duplex, a film she recently starred in with Ben Stiller, and was eager to work with him again. To prepare for the role, Theroux worked with a trainer to reshape his body and consulted with the film’s makeup artist Kimberly Greene on an elaborate series of tattoos, which were topped off with a Mohawk haircut. “Justin and I connected our teenage memories about the sort of punk-mod guys who wore oxblood Doc Marten boots with steel toes, super peg-tight pants, thin little suspenders and no shirt,” says McG. “They always had the traditional sailor tattoos. They were the kind of guys that I, being the suburban lightweight that I am, would see and think ‘wow, what a scary guy.’”
For Theroux, it was the first time he’d so fully committed to a complete physical makeover for a film role. “When I was told I would have my shirt off for many of my scenes, I decided to buff up and trim down,” he laughs. “I get to play the classic unstoppable, unkillable villain, and that’s a blast,” he adds. “It’s great to have those super-human moments where you should be dead, but you just keep on coming. It’s totally in keeping with the tongue-in-cheek comic opera tone of the movie.”
Though Theroux didn’t always relish fighting the “sweet and wonderful Drew,” he quickly discovered that she gave as good as she got. “The truth is, in the acting of these fights, Drew can really throw down,” Theroux recalls. “I had some injuries and so did she. The poor makeup people had to cover up some of the nastiest, most gorgeous purple-and-yellow heinous bruises.”
Another new arrival is Brazilian superstar Rodrigo Santoro, who plays the strikingly handsome – but deadly — assassin Randy Emmers. “We wanted somebody for this role who was really sexy and fun,” says Juvonen. “We saw Rodrigo’s tape and met with him. He was so gorgeous, and there was something unique and original about him. The Brazilian accent added to his appeal. Also, he really knows how to surf and ride a motocross bike, which make him perfect for the role.”
Another reason for casting Santoro, according to McG, is that “heroes are only as good as the villains. When you have great villains, the film becomes even more engaging. Rodrigo has the toughest, most incredible screen presence. He’s like the male composite of all three Angels.”
Infusing the Angels family with another comedic layer is John Cleese, who plays Alex’s father. “We needed someone spectacular for that role,” says McG. “Since we never discuss Alex’s mother, we had to see this incredibly intelligent, sophisticated gentleman as her father. It makes perfect sense that Alex would be the fruit of his loins.”
According to Cleese, the role presented an interesting challenge. “It was explained to me that I was playing the part of a woman called ‘Mrs. Munday,’ who was a very high-powered Jewish socialite from New York. But they said the part was going to be rewritten — which I thought was a frightfully good idea. I thought it was wonderfully eccentric casting to have me be Alex’s father,” Cleese adds. “And there is so much humor in the fact that he doesn’t really have any idea of what she does for a living. And every time she tries to explain it to him, he becomes more befuddled.”
