Sandra Bullock & Jennifer Lawrence To Lead 'Ocean's 11' Reboot? Which Actresses Are Joining The Film Remake?
"Ocean's 11" will finally get a reboot but this time, don't expect Brad Pitt or George Clooney to dominate the screens because according to reports, the remake will feature an all-female group of bad-asses, to be led by Sandra Bullock!
According to Entertainment Weekly, an all-female "Ocean's 11" reboot is now in the works, which will be directed by Gary Ross ("The Hunger Games"). Additional information from The Playlist said that development for the remake started last year, with George Clooney, former "Ocean's" director, Steven Soderbergh and Jerry Weintraub as producers.
Casting for the other females roles are yet to be announced, although many fans hope that Jennifer Lawrence joins the line-up, seeing that "The Hunger Games" director, Gary Ross is already on the project. However, Jennifer Lawrence's schedule could pose a problem should she join the "Ocean's 11" remake.
Aside from Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Lawrence, "Ocean's 11" fans are already coming up with different lists of actresses that they want to see in the film reboot.
Among those names is Regina King, who could take on the role of Rusty Ryan (played by Brad Pitt in previous "Ocean's" movies).
"It wasn't Pitt's star power that made him so perfect in Ocean's Eleven. It was his screen chemistry with Clooney," Vanity Fair reported. "And who better to spark with Sandra Bullock than her Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous co-star?"
As an alternative to Jennifer Lawrence (should she turn down the project or have problems with the schedule), the website also suggested Emily Blunt to play the role of Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon).
"Here's where you might say that Gary Ross' Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence might fit best," the website wrote. "For one thing, her relative youth would actually fit the role pretty nicely. But wouldn't casting Jennifer Lawrence in a third-billed role automatically make this a Jennifer Lawrence movie?"
The report added: "Emily Blunt is around the same age Damon was when he filmed Ocean's, she's great with comedy (The Devil Wears Prada, hello), and who can't appreciate the symmetry of one Adjustment Bureau cast member handing this role off to another?"
