In the latest trailer for OCEAN’S 8, out in Australia from Roadshow Films on 7 June 2018, we get another look at the all-female cast for Check out the trailer below.
With the insanely talented cast of Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, James Corden and Richard Amitage, this re-imagining of the Ocean’s 11 franchise keeps the slick facade and the lighthearted comedy while focusing on the Bullock’s character.
Five years, eight months, 12 days…and counting. That’s how long Debbie Ocean (Bullock) has been devising the biggest heist of her life. She knows what it’s going to take—a team of the best in their field, starting with her partner-in-crime Lou Miller. Together, they recruit a crew of specialists: jeweler Amita; street con Constance; expert fence Tammy; hacker Nine Ball; and fashion designer Rose. The target is a cool $150 million dollars in diamonds—diamonds that will be around the neck of world-famous actress Daphne Kluger, who will be center stage at the event of the year, the Met Gala. The plan is rock solid, but everything will need to be flawless if the team is going to get in and get away with the ice. All in plain sight.
While some have argued that the film and similar outings have emphasised the lack of variety in leading roles for women, and there are 27% fewer women than there were men in the original, this does look like it is more than a cynical gender flip on the part of Hollywood. Still, were there really not another 3 women in the industry?
