A FEMALE-LED SPIN-OFF of Ocean’s Eleven is set to begin filming in October.

Deadline reports that Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett are already on board to star in Ocean’s 8, which will be directed by Gary Ross.

The website says deals are close with a number of other stars including Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter and Mindy Kaling.

The casino heist trilogy, featuring Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve and Ocean’s Thirteen, was released from 2001 to 2007.

It starred several Hollywood heavyweights – including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Julia Roberts – and grossed $1.12 billion (about €1 billion) worldwide.

The new film will be produced by Ocean’s Eleven director Steven Soderbergh. Ross wrote the script with Olivia Milch.

The plot has yet to be revealed, but the Hollywood Reporter’s Borys Kit has said it will revolve around a heist at the Met Gala in New York.

    You’re talking about human beings, not animals. Saying they are breeding is disgusting.
    They are some of the poorest people in the world. Without access to basic needs like food and water, do you really think contraception is available?
    Also, culturally African people generally have larger families for a variety of reasons, not unlike Irish people only two generations ago.

    But it IS a poverty stricken kip, and they ARE breeding even though they know they will not be able to raise their kids. If I did not have the resources to take care of myself, I would not even think of bringing a child into the world. It would be a life of misery and starvation; nasty, brutish and short.

    That’s the third time in less than 24 hours, that “the journal” has posted a news article on this same issue. It’s not big news, is it?????
    I reckon u guys think this sort of story will provoke some interesting comments, as people’s attitudes on this sort of aid appeal tend to be so extreme.

    Gerry B, if 10 MILLION people suffering drought conditions, destitute and barely surviving is not big news to you, what is?
    Maybe you prefer to live in a bubble where we rehash the bank bailout arguement day in, day out.
    Kinda puts our predicament into perspective I think.

    Lenny, I accept your point, however, my comment still stands valid. This unfortunate situation Is not really breaking news and the fact that it has been featured on the journal 3 times in 14 hours, seems bizarre. I dont recall any reference to this story on tonights rte 9 pm news.

    Ok, well I’ll stick with the journal covering everything from Irish news, columns, live sport updates to chocolate printers than
    rte’s biased political reports to dinners flying on fair city.
    I accept our differences.
