Are you in or out? And Merry Christmas to us! Warner Brothers is back with the Ocean’s 11 (2001) spinoff, Ocean’s 8 (2018), and we’ve now got our very first look at the next sure to be summer smash in the first teaser that just dropped!
Con-artist Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock), presumably some relation to Danny Ocean from the original Steven Soderbergh trilogy (George Clooney), rounds up a tag team of loose screws and dangerous gals in a planned heist of New York City’s Met Gala.
The trailer certainly has a familiar Ocean’s 11 vibe, but still manages to come off as fresh and have its own style and sensibility with an all-female cast this time around. Cate Blanchett plays Lou, who it seems is the wingman – or wingwoman – to Debbie Ocean, almost a Brad Pitt as Rusty Ryan to George Clooney’s Danny Ocean equivalent. It certainly looks like a fun time at the movies, with plenty of glitz, glamour, humor, and even action to go around. Who could ask for a better cast than this A-list we’re getting?
Directed by Gary Ross (The Hunger Games (2012), Free State of Jones (2016)), Ocean’s 8 will star Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side (2009)), Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine (2013)), Mindy Kaling (The Mindy Project (2012-2017), Anne Hathaway (The Devil Wears Prada (2006)), Rihanna (Battleship (2012)), Helena Bonham Carter (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)), Olivia Munn (Office Christmas Party (2016)), Sarah Paulson (12 Years a Slave (2013)), Dakota Fanning (War of the Worlds (2005)), Awkwafina (Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016)), Katie Holmes (Logan Lucky (2017)), Richard Armitage (The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)), and James Corden (Into the Woods (2014)), and hits the galas next summer on June 8, 2018.
