"Ocean's 8" is the new film project of Warner Bros. Pictures in partnership with Village Roadshow Pictures. The new movie is said to release on June 8, 2018 across the U.S.
The film features an all-female cast, in which Sandra Bullock plays the lead protagonist.
Variety reported that the movie is set during the summer of 2018, when Debbie Ocean (portrayed by Bullock) is attempting to pull off the heist of the century during the New York City's star-studded annual Met Gala.
In order for the plan to work, Debbie Ocean needs to gather a group of people as part of her workforce, wherein Cate Blanchett and Rihanna will be all on board as part of Ocean's crew, playing the characters of Lou and Nine Ball respectively. Among others, Mindy Kaling, Anne Hathaway and Sarah Paulson will also be featured in "Ocean's 8."
Matt Damon, Damian Lewis, Dakota Fanning and James Corden are said to appear in the film as well. Among the movie's stellar list of cameo appearances include half-siblings Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian. Mirror reported that Kardashian has been stealing the spotlight as she walks on the set of "Ocean's 8." Photos taken of Kardashin shows that she is wearing a see-through sheer gown covered in a furry cream jacket and strutted in her skyscraper heels.
Gary Ross is said to direct "Ocean's 8," who is popular with his projects such as "Seabiscuit," "The Hunger Games" and "Free State of Jones." Ross and Olivia Milch both wrote the screenplay.
As part of the executive producing team, Bullock set the mood of "Ocean's Eight" as more of a child-friendly set. Even Hathaway is full of praise for Bullock for bringing such atmosphere to the set.
Moreover, the film's producers reportedly hired a therapist in order to avoid fights amongst the all-female cast members. There is said to be a counselor on call to make sure that the cast get along perfectly well, and that the production of the movie will end on a good note.
Meanwhile, the United Nations recently invited Hathaway to become an ambassador to the UN. The inspiration behind Hathaway's commitment is her 11-month-old son Jonathan.
