Press Trust of India  |  Los Angeles 

Actor Kristen Stewart is being considered to star in the reboot of "Charlie's Angels".

The "Twilight" star would play one of the members of the female private detective agency.


Sony, the studio behind the film, is also interested in several other big names, including Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong'o, reported Variety.

Elizabeth Banks has been roped in to helm the project. It is slated for a summer 2019 release.

Banks, Elizabeth Cantillon and Max Handelman will produce the project.

"Charlie's Angels" first became a phenomenon during its five-season run on ABC from September 22, 1976 to June 24, 1981. It was later given the big screen treatment in 2000, with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu playing the Angels. The film was a major hit. It was followed by a sequel titled "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle".
