DREW BARRYMORE is giving wings to CHARLIE'S ANGELS - the actress is makin= g plans to bring the hit TV series back to the small screen.
Barrymore has produced and starred in two film adaptations of the 1970s= show - and
now she's breathing new life into the franchise, which launch= ed Farrah Fawcett's career, by reviving it for TV.
Barrymore is currently scouting a new trio of sexy crimefighters and in= sists they must be "incredibly capable, but not take themselves too serio= usly. That's a tough combination to find." Meanwhile filmmaker McG, who directed Barrymore in her Angels films, wi= ll serve as consultant on the project - and is aiming to diversify the te= am of secret agents.
He adds, "This is a more progressive, 2010 take on the idea. We want to= be even more progressive in terms of racial background." McG has named Rihanna as his dream Angel.
