Kristen Stewart is Proud of How 'Charlie's Angels' Makes Her Feel

The co-stars, ages 29, 23, and 26, respectively, got glam for the event held at The Curzon Mayfair on Wednesday (November 20) in London, England.

They were joined by their co-star Sam Claflin, director/writer/star Elizabeth Banks, and her husband Max Handelman.

While recently speaking with Shia LaBeouf for Variety’s Actors on Actors issue, Kristen shared about doing Charlie’s Angeles, “I wanted to do something fun. I was in the mood for a not-so-harrowing experience. Liz Banks, who directed the movie and wrote it, is really good at normal funny. I was in good hands. I knew that. The movie is so warm. I’m proud of the way that it makes me feel.”

Charlie’s Angels is in U.S. theaters now (see photos of the cast at the Los Angeles premiere here), and it will hit UK theaters on November 29!

Elizabeth Banks Reacts to Charlie's Angels' 'Flop' at Box Office

Charlie’s Angels did not perform well in its opening weekend at the box office, and Elizabeth Banks is now responding.

If you don’t know, Elizabeth directed the film, wrote it, produced it, and also starred as Bosley.

Elizabeth tweeted on Monday (November 18), “Well, if you’re going to have a flop, make sure your name is on it at least 4x. I’m proud of #CharliesAngels and happy it’s in the world.”

Charlie’s Angels only made $8.6 million at the box office this weekend, after the film had a budget of over $40 million.

Elizabeth Banks Reacts to Criticism of Another 'Charlie's Angels' Reboot

Elizabeth Banks is all smiles in a shot from her feature in WSJ. Magazine‘s latest issue, available now.

Here’s what the 45-year-old actress and director had to share with the mag:

On criticism of creating another Charlie’s Angles reboot: “You’ve had 37 Spider-Man movies and you’re not complaining! I think women are allowed to have one or two action franchises every 17 years — I feel totally fine with that.”

On Kristen Stewart’s decision to enter a mainstream movie franchise: “Being in a big franchise allows you to have it all. I recognize the same thing, it’s almost unfair for women. The best roles are usually in small movies, but then you don’t make any money. It’s okay to want to make money.”

On the challenge of directing: “Making movies is like giving birth. It’s really hard, and then three months later, you’re like, look at our baby! You’ve already forgotten the trauma of the entire experience. I’m on the other side of it and living in the positivity right now.”
