The upcoming gender-flipped Ocean’s Eleven has a growing cast more exciting than ever before.
Cate Blanchett and Sandra Bullock will be featuring in the all-female reboot of the movie, but the cast continues to get dreamier with the talks of Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway and Mindy Kaling joining the cast. Could they pick a better cast squad?

With the 1980’s remake of Ghostbusters releasing an all-female cast last month, fans have expressed mixed reactions toward the gender-flipped movie reboots, calling it a 2016 fad.
The reboot of Ocean’s Eleven is said to be a female-driven spinoff of the original “crime caper franchise” film.
The film, led by Sandra Bullock, will parallel the original film whereby George Clooney and a group of thieves and cons attempt to commit a massive robbery.
Production is scheduled to commence in October in New York, directed by ‘The Hunger Games’ Gary Ross and produced by Steven Soderbergh, who directed the 2002 remake of the 1960 original.
“I think it’s a pretty similar tone,” says Ross. “This is very much an extension and a continuation … I’m in no way trying to reinvent the tone, and I’m thrilled and honoured to be extending it. It’s really fun to work with.”
Bring on the girl gang, we say!
