Female-led Ocean’s 8 secures a star-studded cast

August 11, 2016 by Gary Collinson

After months of rumour and speculation, Warner Bros. has announced a star-studded cast for its upcoming female led Ocean’s Eleven reboot/sequel/spin-off Ocean’s 8.

Deadline is reporting that the Gary Ross-directed project will see the previously announced Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett joined by Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Rihanna, Mindy Kaling and Awkwafina (a.k.a. Nora Lum).

The site reports that casting continues – with one of the titular eight roles still to be filled – while “there is every possibility” that stars from the original Steven Soderbergh-directed trilogy of films could also appear in cameo roles.

Soderbergh is on board to produce the film, while Ross has co-written the script with Olivia Milch. As yet, there’s no word on a potential release date, but we’ll keep you posted.
