Here’s Your First Official Look at the ‘Ocean’s 8’ Cast!

Any list of the best movie remakes of all-time has to include Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s Eleven, a classy, canny update of the Rat Pack heist flick that originally starred Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and Angie Dickinson. Soderbergh’s Ocean’s was an even more star-studded affair featuring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts. The critically acclaimed and commercially successful comedy ultimately spawned two sequels; together, the three Soderbergh Ocean’s made more than $1.1 billion worldwide, a number so large it would even impress Sinatra and Clooney’s Danny Ocean.

The franchise ended in 2007 after Ocean’s Thirteen (and the death of series co-star Bernie Mac), but it’s getting a revival next year in the form of a new all-female spinoff: Ocean’s 8, co-written and directed by Gary Ross (The Hunger Games, a movie that Soderbergh worked on as a second unit director). This new team is led by Clooney’s Gravity co-star Sandra Bullock as Danny Ocean’s estranged sister Debbie. The cast, which you can see above in all their cool-as-hell glory, also stars Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, Rihanna, Sarah Paulson, and Anne Hathaway. Plus, expect to see a cameo from at least one member of Ocean’s 11, Matt Damon’s Linus Caldwell.

Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Village Roadshow Pictures’ first look at “Ocean’s 8” from one of New York City’s most iconic locales: the subway.  In Summer 2018, the tide will turn as (L-r) Debbie Ocean (SANDRA BULLOCK) attempts to pull off the heist of the century at New York City’s star-studded annual Met Gala.  Her first stop is to assemble the perfect crew: Lou (CATE BLANCHETT);  Nine Ball (RIHANNA); Amita (MINDY KALING); Constance (AWKWAFINA); Rose (HELENA BONHAM CARTER); Daphne Kluger (ANNE HATHAWAY); and Tammy (SARAH PAULSON).

Well, to quote Danny Ocean in Ocean’s Eleven, are you in or you out? Me, I’m definitely intrigued. Ocean’s 8 opens in theaters on June 8, 2018.
