True. Again, the director, Gary Ross, has helmed films with strong-willed protagonists, and arguably one of the most popular headstrong protagonists - male or female - in recent years with adapting The Hunger Games, so I'm thinking this will be an interesting direction to take the Oceans franchise.

Took me a while to recognize it!

Quite enjoyed the Ocean's movies so I might give this a look. Will wait for the trailers before making up my mind. If this is a good movie with a good premise I don't see how the all female cast would bother me one bit.
But if it is a crappy movie that was just an excuse to toss a few women together to make a statement or if it becomes some sort of "girl power" politicized story (like some of the most recent comic books have become), then I'll 100% pass.
I'm thinking the former to be more likely than the latter however.

Ya, this is what I was trying to get at with my first post, Nib. There have been plenty of well-written and executed movies that have very strong female leads, so I'm hoping this is a strong female ensemble.

You think Warner Brothers would have learned from Sony's Ghostbusters: whether the end product is good or not, there will be monster backlash. This, IMO, seems far more interesting though than Paul Feig's film.
Courtesy of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean%27s_Eight :
"Danny Ocean's estranged sister Debbie (Sandra Bullock) attempts to pull off the heist of the century at New York City’s star-studded annual Met Gala. Her first stop is to assemble the perfect crew: Lou (Cate Blanchett), Rose (Helena Bonham Carter), Daphne Kluger (Anne Hathaway), Nine Ball (Rihanna), Tammy (Sarah Paulson), Amita (Mindy Kaling), and Constance (Awkwafina)."
Also, directed by Gary Ross, who has 4 directing credits in his Wikipedia filmography: Pleasantville, Seabiscuit, The Hunger Games, and Free State of Jones. didn't know Sandra Bullock would be playing Danny's sister.
makes me wonder why we never heard of her before... or why, if she's also a grifter or whatever, she wasn't in the previous movies.
this is manufactured lameness.
