Hollywood A-listers Robbie and Gosling Set to Dive into the ‘Ocean’s’ Legacy

Hollywood is buzzing with the news that Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are slated to reunite on the silver screen in a prequel to the iconic heist movie, “Ocean’s 11”. This revelation comes shortly after the pair was seen at the premiere of their film “Barbie” in Los Angeles on July 9.

Behind the Scenes

LuckyChap Entertainment, Robbie’s own production firm, will be overseeing the project. Josey McNamara, a co-founder of the company and the film’s producer, expressed his excitement about having the duo onboard, acknowledging their excellent chemistry. The upcoming movie is in the capable hands of filmmaker Jay Roach, acclaimed for his works including “Austin Powers” and “Bombshell”.

Setting the Stage

While specifics regarding the plot remain under wraps, sources have confirmed that the narrative will transport audiences to Europe during the 1960s. McNamara, keen on keeping details secret, assures fans they are aiming to honor the essence of the original “Ocean’s” franchise.

LuckyChap’s Track Record

LuckyChap Entertainment is no stranger to success. Following their blockbuster “Barbie”, which created waves this summer, expectations are high for the “Ocean’s” prequel. It’s notable that the production house has consistently championed women-centric narratives, making significant contributions like “I, Tonya”, “Promising Young Woman”, “Birds of Prey”, and the limited series “Maid”.

History of the Franchise

The “Ocean’s” saga is rich with Hollywood heritage. From the original Rat Pack’s 1960s version to Steven Soderbergh’s 2001 remake and the 2018 spin-off “Ocean’s 8”, the series has left an indelible mark on the film industry. The latter, with its powerhouse female cast, signified a shift from its male-led predecessors, paving the way for fresh interpretations.
