JFC - Oceans 11... being rebooted with a (likely) female-centric cast
http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/05/...ctor-gary-ross
------ Since gender swapping reboots is all the rage now... here are some thoughts for reboots going the other way: 1. Brotherhood of the Traveling Jockstrap (obvious) A father passes along a precious family heirloom to his now 14 year old twin boys who are going into sports. The jockstrap had been in the family for 4 generations and had brought the wearer great success in the field of athletics. We watch the twins lives unfold, they get married, and they each have a boys of their own. We get to watch the jockstrap being passed on to the 5th generation. 2. Mr. Universe - Ms. Congeniality A bumbling FBI agent, played by The Rock or Terry Crews, enters the Mr. Universe competition in order to ferret out a conspiracy against the competition. The entire plot was hatched up by radical feminists who believe that the entire competition is oppression by crotch dominance due to the speedos the contestants wear. 3. Banging in the Back Seat (Sex in the City) 4 guys go out trolling nightly for a new conquests to take back to their specially outfitted mobile home/sex studio. Eventually one of them starts falling into feelings and it turns into a bro-fest where they are all happy for him. Lots of nudity in this though... 4. Medically Male (Legally Blonde) Fred and his girl split ways after highschool. She goes off to nursing school and he goes to the local community college. In a bid to be closer to his girl, he enrolls in the same school only to find that she has moved on from him. With his hopes of recovering his lost love he decides to make the best of the situation and becomes the best damn Murse the school has ever seen. He, of course, finds a new love interest in the stunning brunette that obviously liked him from the beginning but he was completely oblivious to. 5. 27 Speeches (27 Dresses) Charlie was the all-state running back in school, prom king, class president, the single most popular guy in school... yet completely unlucky in love. As they grew up, Charlie was asked to be the best man at 27 of his team mates weddings. Despite all his early success in school and his current success in his work life... he cannot find "the one". We watch as Charlie goes on date after failed date in hopes of finally finding the one. He falls into a deep depression but decides to get clean. He meets Rebecca in AA and a romance built on love, trust, and mutual support ensues. Charlie proposes, she accepts, and he has all 27 guys he best manned for as his best men. 6. Divine Secrets of the Ta-Ta Brotherhood (obvious) The Charles family comprised of dad, mom, and 6 brothers. James, the oldest, began a diary of what he found to be effective when engaged in sexual activity. Each brother takes on the role off scribe and adds or edits the document as needed. Finally Todd, the youngest, gets the book right before he heads to college and becomes the ultimate casanova. All in all, a heart warming tale of the brotherly bond strengthening through shared experience. 7. Aluminium Bats (Steel Magnolias) A group of guys that grew up around one another playing baseball still keep in shape by hitting the batting cages once a week at the same time at the same place. A new guy, recently divorced, comes into town and strikes up a friendship with the regulars at the cages. |

I loved 12 as well! Soderberg really subverted people's expectations. I think that's why it wasn't as well received. The soundtrack is killer too

I'll have to watch 12 again. Saw it in the theater and once on HBO and long ago and didn't care for it either time. 13 definitely had the feel of paint-by-numbers acting.

If you're referring to the movies from the 2000s, they aren't the originals. The original, while featuring some questionable acting like all the rat pack flicks, was far more stylish and fun than any of the modern ones.

Cate Blanchett likely to join the cast of this pussy powered train wreck.

Oceans 12 was one of the worst film ever made.
Literally the whole heist was a lie. Everything they did was a lie. It was bullshit.

This.
It's not a long time beloved story or iconic set of characters. It's a Hollywood jerk off session. $#it all over it as you wish...

I'd watch another Oceans 11 movie. I actually liked Oceans 13 the best, a little bit more than Oceans 11. Oceans 12 was meh but entertaining. Won't be the same with a female cast, but, why not just integrate. Gasp, I know, but dare I say it a FEMALE AND MALE cast of thiefs?
