The latest trailer for Ocean’s 8 exceeds all expectations. If you were thrilled by last week’s film poster, brace yourself for the sensational full-length trailer that just dropped this morning. I found myself watching it multiple times, overwhelmed with excitement and missing key moments due to my squeals. It’s that spectacular.
This film offers a fresh, all-female perspective on the 2001 classic Ocean’s 11, boasting a stellar cast of empowered women we adore. With its June 2018 release looming, this trailer will definitely keep us entertained in the meantime.
Meet Debbie Ocean
In the preview, we see Sandra Bullock’s character, Debbie Ocean—sister to George Clooney’s Danny from the original franchise—being released from prison on parole. She expresses to the parole board her desire for a “simple” life, along with the ability to settle her bills. But it quickly becomes clear that her plans are anything but simple. The trailer teases the elaborate heist she has in store, as she sets out to gather her team.
The Elite Crew
Enter a formidable ensemble that includes Mindy Kaling, Cate Blanchett, Sarah Paulson, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Awkwafina, and Anne Hathaway, making up the elite group of eight female criminals alongside Bullock. The trailer gives glimpses into their characters, showcasing Kaling as a jewelry designer looking to break free from her controlling mother, while Paulson plays a restless stay-at-home mom eager for an adventurous heist.
We can hardly contain our excitement!
The Audacious Mission
The crew’s audacious mission? Stealing a dazzling $150 million necklace from Hathaway’s character during the Met Gala. This high-profile event promises to feature cameos from numerous celebrities, such as Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Zayn Malik, Katie Holmes, Hailey Baldwin, Olivia Munn, Tommy Hilfiger, Alexander Wang, and Anna Wintour.
Behind the Scenes
In a recent discussion with Entertainment Weekly, Bullock described the filming experience as extraordinary. “Picture all eight of us squeezed into a makeup trailer every morning. You’d think it’d be chaotic, but it was heavenly, sharing stories and juggling our families and careers while shooting this film together.”
Ugh, can we please get a chance to be extras in a sequel? And let’s hope there’s definitely a sequel on the horizon.
