Ocean's 8
If there were ever a time for an all-female cast of big name Hollywood women to pick up where a cast of big name Hollywood men left off, it’s now. The premise is pretty straightforward: Sandra Bullock stars as Debbie Ocean, the estranged sister of Danny Ocean (the character played by George Clooney). She’s in the robbing industry, too, though her fresh parole implies she might not be as savvy as her bro. Nonetheless, she leaves prison with a plan to pull a heist at the Met Gala in NYC, and she must put together a crack group of professionals to execute it. Steven Soderbergh isn’t at the helm, but he did co-produce, and apparently he, Clooney and Jerry Weintraub were all involved in Ocean 8’s conception, so you can expect it to have a similar pace and the slick quality of the other films of the franchise. Plus, the women cast is stellar and diverse—Cate Blanchett, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Awkwafina and Anne Hathaway included.
