7 names have been revealed so far in the cast of Ocean’s 8, the female version of Ocean’s 11; the 1960 heist movie that was revived in 2001 as Ocean’s Eleven with an all-star cast including George Clooney and Brad Pitt as the main guys.
The latest additions to Ocean’s 8 are Anne Hathaway, everyone’s favourite music girl, Rihanna and rapper/actress Akwafina.
Sandra Bullock had earlier been announced as the main girl (playing Clooney’s role), with Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter and Mindy Kaling later joining in.
The movie will be directed by Gary Ross (The Hunger Games), with filming scheduled to start in October in New York City and Clooney, who produced Bullock’s current film, Our Brand is Crisis, will be co-producing with Steven Soderbergh, the Ocean’s trilogy director.
Never pictured a tough-faced Anne Hathaway, but I think she’ll probably be the geeky electronics and surveillance expert that hates being away from her computer.
Who do you think will make a nice final addition to the list? Wouldn’t it be nice to see Kerry Washington come in with her badass Olivia Pope self to make the entry complete? Or perhaps Angelina Jolie who does female badass so well, it was almost made for her.
Michelle Rodriguez from Fast and Furious wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Perhaps Jennifer Lawrence? So many names. Ugh.
Although there’s been talk of Elizabeth Banks joining the crew, nothing has been confirmed yet, so we just sit, wait and in the meantime, speculate.
