After news broke earlier this week that Cate Blanchett (Carol) was in talks to star the upcoming all-female Ocean’s Eleven project, three more actresses are reportedly set to join the ranks according to Showbiz411.
The site is reporting that Elizabeth Banks (Power Rangers), Mindy Kaling (The Night Before) and Helena Bonham Carter (Alice Through The Looking Glass) are set to join Blanchett and the previously-cast Sandra Bullock (Gravity).
Currently under the working title of Ocean’s Ocho, the film will be a continuation from the Clooney/ Brad Pitt / Matt Damon-led films directed by Steven Soderbergh with Bullock starring in the Clooney-Danny Ocean role and will “form a team of thieves to steal a necklace from the Met Ball in order to frame a villainous gallery owner.” Blanchett is set to play the Brad Pitt/ Rusty sidekick role. No word yet on who Banks, Kaling or Bonham Carter will play.
The Hunger Games director Gary Ross is helming the film and Olivia Milch (Queen & Country) penning the script.
