Sandra Bullock’s latest role in Our Brand Is Crisis was originally written for George Clooney, and then rewritten for the Oscar-winning actress.
Based on some recent news, it sounds like she’s eager to see that switch play itself out all over again.
EW has confirmed that Bullock will lead an all-female reboot of Ocean’s Eleven, with Hunger Games director Gary Ross set to take over for Steven Soderbergh behind the camera.
Ross and Soderbergh have been friends for years, and Soderbergh famously directed some second unit material on The Hunger Games.
With news of the new Ocean’s Eleven and Bullock’s role as the lead out in the open, the question will now turn to who will fill out the rest of the roster.
Eager fans of the Hunger Games will no doubt draw a line from Ross to Jennifer Lawrence, especially as the two have seemed keen to reconnect since the first film based Suzanne Collins’ books launched the actress to superstardom.
Since an announcement like this opens the flood gates for speculation and fan casting, we’ll put forward one of our own: Why hasn’t Lupita Nyong’o landed any major live-action roles since winning her Oscar? Let’s cast Lupita in the new Ocean’s Eleven.
