'Ocean's Eight' Trailer: Here's Your First Look at Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, and Rihanna in Action
Get hyped, my friends, because the first teaser for Ocean’s Eight has been revealed, and Cate Blanchett, Rihanna, and Sarah Paulson are here to save us all.
We don’t want to keep you waiting, so go ahead and check out the 15-second teaser trailer, below, and then we can discuss. (The full trailer comes out tomorrow, December 19.)
The teaser doesn’t reveal too much, but so far the film looks hilarious (and glamorous, of course). Overall, it seems to have all the elements that made the traditional Ocean’s franchise such a smash—but with a necessary feminist twist. It’s just one of several female-focused reboots that have happened over the past few years: 2016’s Ghostbusters was a critical hit and a remake of Lord of the Flies is also in the works, for example. Because it’s 2017, though, we’re sure people will find something negative to say about Ocean’s Eight—and star Sandra Bullock is prepared for it.
“It’s like, let’s just take a breath and let’s just see if we come up with something fun. There should be a moratorium. There should be a rule: You’re not allowed to say anything nasty until after it comes out. Obviously, that’s never going to happen,” Bullock told Entertainment Weekly.
The actress also said she and the other cast members (Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, and Helena Bonham Carter) were quick to bond on set.
“I realized as women we have been isolated for a while. I don’t even want to touch on that other subject, but women are now taking care of each other,” she said. “We all were like, OK, let’s just take care of each other for these six months and relish this opportunity we’re being given. But we don’t want it to be just for women. This is not a man-hating. We love the men. There’s men in this movie. We love them. But this one heist needs women.”
Ocean’s Eight hits theaters everywhere on June 8, 2018.
