'We're all part of a legacy of a sorority, and that really mattered to me.' CharliesAngels star and director ElizabethBanks explains her decision to continue on in the same universe as the TV show and previous movies, versus rebooting entirely

As you gain more and more experience directing, do you now find yourself dreaming up fancy tracking shots or researching certain cameras or lenses?

I think that Kristen is one of the finest actresses of her generation — or any generation. She was my secret weapon. I knew that I could play with audiences' expectations for her, and that we were gonna show off a side of her that audiences don't often get to see. I put a premium on the hair and makeup trailer in a way that a lot of nonactor directors don't. They just don't understand what goes into the morning routine for actors and how important it is that that morning routine be awesome so that everyone comes to set excited and ready for the day. If something is going wrong in the trailer in the morning, you're going to have a bad day on set.

I realized about halfway through that it was getting kind of meta — that I was sort of the mentor for the women in the movie as Bosley, and I do feel like I am mentoring these incredible women through Hollywood. Early on in the film, Kristen's Sabina tells Ella's Jane that she'd pay to see her cosplay as Catwoman. Since Ella just went through theNo, we haven't. We recorded that line however long ago. I would still love to see Ella play Catwoman, but I'm really happy that Zoe Kravitz is doing it too.I think Ella is a huge action star in the making.
