Oceans 11 To be Remade With All Female Cast

Quote:

A new Ocean's Eleven film is in the works, but this one will star Sandra Bullock (Our Brand is Crisis, Gravity) and feature an all-female ensemble cast pulling off a daring heist, according to The Playlist.

The Hunger Games and Seabiscuit director Gary Ross will helm the project. Little Women scribe Olivia Milch was hired months ago to pen the script, which she has now turned in.

Ocean's trilogy director Steven Soderbergh, its star George Clooney and the late producer Jerry Weintraub began formulating an idea for an all-female version of Ocean's 11 last year.

"It's unclear how directly connected (or not) this remake/reboot/sequel/spinoff will be to the Soderbergh pictures, but everyone is keen on this new ‘Ocean’s’ project," The Playist adds. "Sources tell us Clooney may even cameo as Danny Ocean."

At least some of the comments speak the truth:

Quote:

How about creating original film ideas for women instead of having them just get sloppy seconds of a franchise???

Quote:

Even further proof there is no god. Create some new ideas for christ's sake instead of rebooting older movies with an all female cast!

Quote:

Here we go again... No, not everyone is keen on the project. Here's one Ocean's 11 fan that won't touch this. Rot away with the female Ghostbusters.

The only all-female films I have time for are not for family viewing...

Why would anybody want to see a film where the main actress is in her 50s? Admittedly Sandra Bullock looks great for her age, but still...

Who's gonna be in it? Lena Dunham? Mindy Kaling? Melissa McCarthy?

[Mike5055]

Can they not come up with their own ideas? First Ghostbusters and now this. Maybe they'll decide Mission Impossible or Die Hard need a redo next. What a joke.

[Grange]

Go ahead and make it. It will bomb. The ridiculous premise of an all-female heist crew could never work. The missions in the originals were implausible but not absurd. Imagine 11 women working together on a major heist without breaking into factions, being bitter at each other, and crying two days into it.

[Glaucon]

meh, who cares. Noone will want to see it

[kaotic]

We all know it'll be a block buster

There's really only 1 Ocean's Eleven team:

[WestIndianArchie]

So what "lucky" man gets to play the Julia Roberts character?

I mean the whole point of Oceans 11 is to win the girl back from the other guy.

So this crew of broads is gonna rob something so that the ring leader can get back her alpha?

LOL,

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.

That sounds like a date night movie with one of your "quality" chicks.

"You keep asking when I'm a settle down, but would you get your girls to break into fort knox with you?... Well invite each one of them over every knight so we can bang!"

Unless they're all hot and wearing spandex leotards slithering around with camera focused on their ass. Then again porn is better.

I just had a horrible spark of an idea they are planning more female reboots of great male-lead films.

Ghost Busters is going to test the waters and if it breaks even they will keep doing them.

[2Wycked]

We could have some fun with this idea.

Seasoned Ex-con: Martha Stewart
Wheelman: Caitlyn Jenner
Weapons experts: Jennifer Lawrence and that one military chick that accidentally killed herself before going on a shooting spree
Pickpocket: Winona Ryder
Snarky Minority Sidekick: Mindy Kaling
IT Support: Anita Sarkeesian
Work/Life Balance Adviser: Sheryl Sandberg
Diversity Director: Rachel Dolezal
Privilege Checker: Laverne Cox
Emotional Support: The rest of the women in Hollywood, since this group of elite women is only going to get 73% of what men would get in a heist.

[Dr. Howard]

Shouldn't they at least have waited for Ghostbusters to flop before working on this?

Who wants to take bets on an indecent proposal remake with a gender role reversal cast ?

Loved the highlighted ones especially.

Are there no new, innovative ideas and creative scriptwriters left in Hollywood?
Year after year we get movies based on already successful books, popular comics or established franchises.
Reboots, remakes, sequels, prequels, spinoffs, spoofs, etc.

Have those idiots ever heard of this thing called suspension of disbelief?
Eleven highly-skilled female criminals banding together to smoothly conduct a masterful heist.
How about adding some dragons or aliens, makes for a good mix.


I mean what´s next, an all-female remake of Fight Club starring Ronda Rousey and Jennifer Lawrence?
You read it here first.

[Handsome Creepy Eel]

This will flop horribly, and then the patriarchy will be blamed.

[kbell]

I can't wait for the female versions of

Rocky
Rambo
Commando
Robocop
Terminator staring that UFC woman
Conan(ina)
Friday the 13th (Jasonina Vorhina would be scary)
Dirty Harriette

What's next is a remake of "12 Angry Men". Actually, this may be one they can realistically pull off! "12 angry women" sounds like most women's networking groups I know :/

I remember working with this hot colleague at one company. She told me she used to go to some "business women's networking group", but stopped because she couldn't stand it. "Do you know what they talk about??", she said? I said "How to get ahead? How to support other women getting ahead?" She looked at me dead in the eye and said "They talk about how much they hate men. That is ALL they talk about!".

Pretty soon, they will recast all male roles, even real historic ones.

Spartaca, the Roman gladiator who led the great female rebellion against the empire:

[joost]

I'll be laughing at the poor box office.

[tarquin]

Spoiler alert: They all get arrested 20 minutes into the movie.

I read the script. They all get confused talking about the heist and decide to go shopping instead.

It will cost very little to make(likely 1/3 of doing a sequel of the recent series) and will be a box office success. Pitch perfect 2 was a box office hit and they already green-lit the 3rd one.

hint: DEMOGRAPHICS.

As long as women in North America continue to spend nearly 80 cents of every earned dollar, we'll keep getting pandering tripe like this.

#Don'tGiveYourMoneyToWomen takes on a greater importance in this context. That said, if you don't the government just will.
