OCEAN'S 11

Sandra Bullock's all-female continuation of “Ocean's Eleven” is no Hollywood rumour; it's happening, and the cast list is rapidly growing.

Helena Bonham Carter, Elizabeth Banks and comedy actor Mindy Kaling have all been signed up to star in a film, that's currently called “Ocean's Ocho”. The title it expected to change.

Showbiz 411 has also confirmed that Cate Blanchett is definitely aboard the project, assuming the film's second lead role; Bullock will most likely play a leader role akin to George Clooney's Danny Ocean.

The film's premise will see the collective team up in order to steal a necklace from the Met Ball so they can frame a villainous gallery owner.

Director Gary Ross (“The Hunger Games”) will steer production alongside Steven Soderbergh - the director of the 2001 original “Ocean's 11” - as well as its star and producer, Clooney. Cameras will begin rolling this autumn.

It was recently rumoured that Jennifer Lawrence was being lined up for a role in the film; with six roles left to cast, film buffs can expect some interesting announcements on the way.
