It'll be interesting to see the cast they put together for this.
That's a hell of a downgrade from Soderbergh, though.

Report: Sandra Bullock to Lead All-Female Oceans Eleven Reboot; Gary Ross director

Now you have my attention
Have Soderbergh shoot and edit it even if he's not directing.
Heist movies are great, I'm not seeing why a reboot or sequel is a bad idea. It'd probably play out the exact same way, just with a different name.
Wonder if Sandra Bullock will be playing Danny's sister Danica Ocean? Those two would be fun sniping at each other (again).

Because using reboots as vehicles for women-driven films is a great way to normalize the idea of a film driven by women.

The way I see it in the modern era a reboot of everything is inevitable anyway. Switching to a female cast is at least something to bring to the table. I guarantee this would have still existed even without that call

I thought they (well Stallone) was earmarking Sandra Bullock for a role in the female version of The Expendables. An Oceans 11 reboot with females is an interesting concept, will have to see if it will work or if it will be a turkey like the female Ghostbusters.
Hollywood ensuring a Hillary win as usual.

Pass.
Not interested at all. Maybe come up with some original ideas instead of shoehorning an all female cast into a movie that's already been done.
But I guess that's too much to ask.

Intersectionality is the name of the game. We need you to get more diverse.

I didn't want to point out the person only casting white people, so I'm glad other people did lol.

If Sandra Bullock's in it I'm watch it and love it most all the time (even All About Steve).
wouldn't it be Mr Doubtfire?
Where a woman dresses up as a man to spend more time with her kids, when her husband somehow got sole custody of them?

Gender-swapped reboots is going to be the new craze.
Don't really have a problem with this, if it's good it's good, cast gender be damned.
Now I have to watch Ocean's 11, 12, 13 soon. So good.

another one in a ridiculously long list of shamaless remakes, reboots and similar crap I don't give the slightest fuck about
love Ocean's 11 and will keep watching it in spite of this uselessness
plus, Gary fucking Ross to take Soderbergh's place? Bahahahahha

That's not news, that's been known for a good bit.
Also starring in Mile 22 with Marky Mark.

I don't care what part. Get Tilda Swinton in this.
Fuck yes to Aisha Taylor. Rest are good, but Aisha needs more big screen time.

Without Bernie, none of the original cast would DARE even touch a reboot.
It would be spitting on his grave.

TBH, I'd love to see a cast that's primarily non-white. Beyond being a double-whammie of outrage from both men and white people, it'd be really nice to see a cast where most of the people aren't white, and it's not due to some criminal element or the location - it's entirely incidental.

Excellent. I hope every franchise gets an all female reboot because I love seeing closet sexists get all up in arms about it

Sandra Bullock was talking recently how more roles written for men can be given to women, as Our Brand In Crisis was originally for George Clooney but she took the lead role. We get videogames where the original character was to be male but was changed to female and was made more distinctive because of it (Never Alone, Marvellous Miss Take, and others).
Pretty rad, makes it more interesting. Now just need a good writer who can write women well. Oh they got Olivia Milch, seems like a good choice.

I don't care, they were never gonna make a Oceans 14 and the more Capers the better. Love Sandy Bullock too.
Win win. Just no Mike and Molly lady please, she sucks.

I'm all for it, if they make a movie with a decent plot with just a bit of comedy and not only a remake the first one.
And please God don't cast Melissa McCarthy, I can't stand her. Never watched a movie with her and never will.

Uh Oceans Eleven was a remake too. That was a film already done in 1960. So was The Thing. The Fly. You can bring new ideas into a remake.
If you're not into remakes at all, ok, then it wouldn't make sense why you cared about this story. So I'm guessing you like remakes if they're done well and have enough of a fresh take.
