WARNER Bros Pictures has announced the official commencement of production on the spin-off/sequel “Ocean’s 8”! The tide has turned and it is a whole new “Ocean’s” when eight women plan and execute a heist in New York.
Oscar winner Sandra Bullock stars in the title role, alongside Oscar winners Cate Blanchett and Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, with Rihanna and Oscar nominee Helena Bonham Carter.
Oscar-nominated filmmaker Gary Ross is the director. Ross directs from a screenplay he wrote with Olivia Milch (upcoming “Dude”), Steven Soderbergh and Jon Kilik producing, Michael Tadross, Susan Ekins, Sandra Bullock, Diana Alvarez and Bruce Berman executive producing, and Milch co-producing.
Filming takes place in and around New York City.
