WHY? When will hollywood come up with new ideas?

If this bombs as hard as the she-ghostbusters flick, maybe they will get the hint that rebooted with a gimmick is just stupid.

"Every con has its pros" is a pretty great tag line though.

it would have been really interesting if they'd done two focus groups...one where they market this as "Ocean's 8" and one where they just market it as a heist flick with THAT cast.

i think they've made this process much, much tougher by going with the Ocean's tie-in.

It stars all the Kardashians... what could go wrong?

As one of the loves pretty much any heist film and especially the Ocean's franchise, I'll be seeing it....

there's someone named Awkwafina ?

They're going to lure Terry Benedict into a sham marriage with no prenuptial agreement. Crime of the century.

Also, I absolutely refuse to see anything with someone who calls themselves Awkwafina

Well while Oceans Eleven was a remake of an older movie, I still am not a fan of " lets do a chick version of the idea" now.

It's hilarious how offended some of you snowflakes get over nothing. It's a freakin movie. If it looks good, go see it. If it looks terrible, skip it.

Who's offended? It looks hilariously terrible.

Waiting for female version of The Expendables.

That idea was mentioned once before, actually. Stallone had an idea of Sigourney Weaver as his ex-wife who starts her own crew or maybe gets his company in the divorce or something. The Expendabelles.

But honestly....... I'd be on board with that. With the right cast.

This looks legitimately fun to me.

I wouldn't put this in the same camp as the Ghostbusters remake because A) it's a WAY better cast, and B) this is an actual sequel to the first trilogy, not a remake. Bullock is playing Danny Ocean's sister, and if you look closely in one of the final shots, she's visiting his grave. Matt Damon has an extended cameo as well, and Steven Soderbergh, the director of the first three, had a ton of creative input on this one, which counts for a lot in my book.

I still get the "all women redo" / unoriginality factor, though, and that's a fair gripe, but not only would I consider this one an exception to the rule, but a team of women - featuring this cast - stealing diamonds from the Met Ball is a pretty fun premise. That, and as mentioned above, the tagline is pretty damn great too.

I showed the trailer to my mom and sisters, and they, at least, can't wait for this. If it's even halfway good, it'll be a massive hit this summer.

Mostly the dudes who think an all female cast is an attack on their masculinity. This isn't new, btw. There have been a half a dozen threads about this movie (when it was announced, when it was cast) and about the terrible Ghostbusters remake and for every post saying "this looks bad, I will probably skip it" there were plenty of ridiculous complaints about how unfair an all female cast were and women aren't funny and "more leftist hollywood PC agenda".

SANDRA BULLOCK IS DANNY OCEAN AFTER GENDER REASSIGNMENT SURGERY

How did they settle on 8?

Well ya see Oceans 11 has 11 men. Women get 70% of what men get (according to idiots). 11 x .7 = 7.7. They round up because they can't draw attention to Dakota Fanning's eating disorder.

Please God let this be true.

This IS the same franchise that had a character, played by Julia Roberts - who isn't playing Julia Roberts - pretend to be Julia Roberts as an integral part of the plot to the movie. So I guess anything is possible.

We know it will be better than Oceans 12. Jesus...
