Sandra Bullock to Lead an All-Female 'Ocean's Eleven' Reboot
- 9 years ago
Sandra Bullock's latest role in Our Brand Is Crisis was originally written for George Clooney, and then rewritten for the Oscar-winning actress.
EW has confirmed that Bullock will lead an all-female reboot of Ocean's Eleven , with Hunger Games director Gary Ross set to take over for Steven Soderbergh behind the camera.
According to the original report from The Playlist , development on the revitalized ensemble caper started last year with producers George Clooney, Soderbergh, and the late Jerry Weintraub.
Eager fans of the Hunger Games will no doubt draw a line from Ross to Jennifer Lawrence, especially as the two have seemed keen to reconnect since the first film based Suzanne Collins' books launched the actress to superstardom.
As for the rest of the cast, the template for the ensemble really allows anyone - regardless of age or race - to join, which could make for a really diverse group of women.
