Warner Bros. is rolling the dice on Ocean's Eleven once more and this time has brought on board Margot Robbie.

 

After an eleven-year hiatus, Warner Bros. brought the franchise back with an all female-led spin-off film titled Ocean's 8 starring Sandra Bullock as the sister to George Clooney's Danny Ocean and also featured Cate Blanchette, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kailing, Helena Bonham Carter, Awkafina, Rihanna, and Sarah Paulson. Ocean's 8 was a box office hit and outgrossed both Ocean's Twelve and Ocean's Thirteen at the domestic box office. Despite the film's success, no word was ever given about a potential sequel.

 

According to THR, Warner Bros. is now developing a new Ocean's Eleven film but not a sequel to Ocean's 8. Robbie is set to star and produce a new movie in the Ocean's Eleven franchise with Austin Powers franchise director Jay Roach at the helm. Robbie previously worked with Roach on the 2019 film Bombshell. The screenplay is being written by Carrie Solomon and while plot details remain under wraps, reports say the film is a period piece set in Europe in the 1960s and that production is eyeing a spring 2023 start.

An overrated actress in a played out franchise. I can't wait.

To be fair.  The Clooney Ocean's 11 is far better than the Sinatra Ocean's 11.   The Sinatra version is a disjointed mess where legend has it that Sinatra and friends were incredibly difficult to deal with Sinatra securing the film as excuse to get paid to party.   I think that the 2001 version really is an incredible improvement over the original and has a much greater "cool factor". 

 

Since then... I always have an open mind when it comes to these things.

thats probably due to Soderbergh

the projects that succeed is a director that comes with a vision/-script

the ones that fail (more frequently) is where the project is built around the star (some stars are better at this - see Tom Cruise)

True and that's a very good point.

You can build a project around Tom Cruise due to his notoriously extreme work ethic and dedication to making it a success.  Even when there have been failures such as the Mummy, that was more of a miss of things just not working out.  The team used a formula that had been successful at every other turn so occasionally one bullet out of a gun is going to miss.   Even when he was caught on camera screaming at the crew, you sort of got it because it wasn't him being a prima donna but someone who was dedicated to making the movie for the good of everyone.

What could be more realistic than the world's most beautiful man and the world's most beautiful woman getting together to commit huge $ heists?  After all, there's no other path for people that look like they do to earn a living.
