Production[edit]

In August 2006, Steven Soderbergh – who directed the films in the Ocean's Trilogy – said that there would not be an Ocean's Fourteen, stating that George Clooney wanted "to go out strong" with the third film, Ocean's Thirteen (2007).[5]In December 2008, Soderbergh said a fourth Ocean's film was unlikely due to the recent death of Bernie Mac, who had appeared in the earlier films.[6] However, a new Ocean's Eleven spin-off with an all-female cast led by Sandra Bullock as the sister of George Clooney's Danny Ocean character was in development as of October 2015. It was conceived by producer Jerry Weintraub, Soderbergh and Clooney. Olivia Milch is to write the screenplay, and Gary Ross is to direct.[7][8] Helena Bonham Carter, Cate Blanchett, Mindy Kaling and Elizabeth Banks were later announced to star in the film,[9] though Banks' presence later turned out to be a rumor that did not materialize.[10]
During pre-production, the film's working title was Ocean's Ocho.[11] In August 2016, Bullock, Blanchett, Bonham Carter and Kaling were confirmed to star, with Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Awkwafina and Sarah Paulson closing deals to fill the cast.[12][13] During production on the film, Dakota Fanning and Damian Lewis were spotted on set, with Lewis's casting being confirmed in December 2016 and Fanning confirming her casting in March 2017.[14][15][16][17]
On November 11, 2016, Richard Robichaux was also cast in the film.[18] That same month, Matt Damon confirmed he would appear in the film, reprising his role from the Ocean's Trilogy.[19][20][21] In January 2017, James Corden joined the cast as an insurance broker who begins to grow suspicious of the group.[22] That same month, it was revealed Anna Wintour, Alexander Wang, Zac Posen, Derek Blasberg, Lauren Santo Domingo, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Katie Holmes, Olivia Munn, Hailey Baldwin and Zayn Malik were announced to cameo in the film.[23][24][25][26][27] That same month, Richard Armitage joined the cast of the film.[28]

Filming[edit]

Principal photography on the film began on October 25, 2016, in New York City.[29][30] In March 2017, Blanchett said production had officially been completed.[31]
On May 5, 2017 it was announced that filming was to continue on Staten Island at the former Arthur Kill Correctional Facility which Broadway Stages is still in the process of acquiring after an initial rejection.[32]
