As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the newOcean’s Elevenfilm is set to be directed by Jay Roach, who’s worked with Robbie in the past on the projectBombshell, which scored her a nomination for the Best Supporting Actress at the 2019 Oscar Awards. The executive producers of the newOcean’s Elevenfilm are Gary Ross, Olivia Milch, and Josey McNamara. The film’s script, written by Carrie Soloman, has been tightly kept under lock and key. However, the film’s plot, although not completely set in stone, is set to be a classicOcean’s Eleventale, which takes place in Europe during the 1960s. The film is still in the early development stages, but it’s been said that the studio’s goal is to have the film in production by spring 2023.
This news comes four years after the release ofOcean’s Eight,the most recent installment in theOcean’sfranchise that dates all the way back to 2001, with its first film directed by Steven Soderbergh. TheOcean’s Elevenfranchise’s first filmstarred Brad Pitt,George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, and many other big names in Hollywood as the film followed Clooney’s Mr. Danny Ocean as he put together a band of thieves to orchestrate one of the most elaborate casino heists in history. After this cameOcean’s TwelveandOcean’s Thirteen, which still featured the original cast and Soderbergh as the film’s director.
The most recent film of the franchise, as previously mentioned, wasOcean’s Eight,which put a spin on the original plot.Ocean’s Eighthad a female-led band pulling off the heist at the New York City’s Met Gala andstarred actresses like Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, and Dakota Fanning. The film grossed approximately $297 million worldwide at the box office.
With the last film’s twist being well received, it’s fair that Robbie’s prequel iteration will be just as beloved by fans. The actress has her plate full of projects likeAmsterdam(2022),Babylon(2022),Asteroid City(TBD),Greta Gerwig’sBarbie(2023), and nowOcean’s Eleven(TBD). Although details are sparse as confirmation about the film’s production is still being awaited, it is fair to say that the newOcean’s Elevenstarring Robbie if done right has a great chance of being a major success.
