Elizabeth Banks in talks to reboot Charlie's Angels... after proving her directing skills are Pitch Perfect 

Elizabeth Banks is in negotiations to direct a reboot for the Charlie's Angels franchise, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The 41-year-old starlet will also produce the film via her Brownstone Productions company alongside her husband and producing partner Max Handelman, the website reports.

The Emmy-nominated actress made her feature directorial debut with Pitch Perfect 2 which grossed $285 million worldwide, in addition to starring in and producing the film.

Turn heads in an orange maxi like Elizabeth

At the closing ceremony of the 72 Venice Film Festival on Saturday, Elizabeth Banks chose a beautiful cherry red dress featuring a plunging halter, choker collar and a thigh-high slit exposing her impossibly long legs.

This dress was the finale piece in Emilia Wickstead's Fall 2015 runway show and we, at Fashion Finder, couldn't think of a more fitting ode to the end of the to the Italian film festival. Wickstead is a New Zealand-born, London-based designer favored by the Duchess of Cambridge and Alexa Chung, to name a few, and is also getting some clout among the Hollywood crowd.

This is one dress that made it from the runway to the red carpet to retail. If you have to have Elizabeth's exact dress, you're in luck! It's currently on sale for $5,412 at MatchesFashion.

If throwing around five grand is not your idea of fun (we get it), we suggest checking out some other options below. We love the ASOS side cutout maxi dress for $76 and can really see ourselves in the Rachel Zoe fille maxi dress, $256, at Revolve.

After the opening weekend Pitch Perfect 2 grossed over $70 million at the box office making this film the second-largest opening for a female director. 

Brownstone Productions is a Universal-based production company by Banks and her 42-year-old author and film producer husband.

Earlier this summer The Hollywood Reporter announced that The Hunger Games star is also currently set to direct Red Queen at Universal.

However while sources say Red Queen is still in negotiations, Banks has confirmed she will produce and direct the Charlie's Angels reboot.

The American classic series surrounds three beautiful women who work in a private detective agency in Los Angeles.

The 1976 version of Charlie’s Angels lasted five seasons with Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith portraying private detectives working for a benefactor named Charlie.

Eventually Cheryl Ladd replaced Fawcett, with Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts joining in later years.

In 2000 Sony produced the movie version with Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu, which grossed $264 million worldwide.

The 2003 sequel 'Charlie’s Angles: Full Throttle' grossed $259 million.

In 2011 ABC attempted a reboot of the crime drama starring Minka Kelly but the series was canceled after receiving overwhelming negative reviews from critics.
