Margot Robbie and Jay Roach are planning on gathering some friends together and doing some crimes.<\/p>\n

The Suicide Squad<\/strong> actress and the Austin Powers<\/strong> franchise director are teaming up to relaunch Warner Brothers’ Ocean’s Eleven<\/strong> franchise.<\/p>\n

The 1960 original film, was a vehicle for singer\/actor Frank Sinatra and his group of friends and saw them as a group of army buddies reuniting in Las Vegas in order to pull off a heist at multiple casinos simultaneously. Director Steven Soderbergh teamed with George Clooney for a 2001 remake which did so well at the box office it ultimately spawned two direct sequels – Ocean’s Twelve<\/strong> (2004) and Ocean’s Thirteen<\/strong> (2007) and one spinoff, Ocean’s Eight<\/strong> (2018).<\/p>\n

According to the Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, the new film will be set in Europe in the 1960s, a far cry away from the original film’s Las Vegas casino setting. Screenwriter Carrie Solomon is currently working on the script.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter further states that the project is still currently in development and that studio Warner Brothers has not yet given the film the go-ahead to move into production, though the hope is that it start shooting next spring.<\/p>\n

I have to admit to a bit of disappointment upon seeing this news. This project appears to reboot the franchise, and that would mean no follow up to Ocean’s Eight<\/strong>, which featured Sandra Bullock as Danny Ocean’s younger sister Debbie who follows in her older brother’s footsteps of organizing elaborate heists with a group of confederates. It was a fun enough film and earning almost $300 million at the global box office against a $70 million budget, it certainly turned a profit for the studio. It would have been fun to see more capers from Debbie’s crew, but it seems as if it is not fated to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The stylish heist franchise is getting a makeover.<\/div>\n
