The film company Warner Bros has not abandoned the idea to remove crime thriller remake “Ocean’s Eleven” with actresses in the lead roles. About it became known in the autumn of 2015, the director agreed to become Gary Ross ( “The Hunger Games”), the main role in the film signed by Sandra Bullock, and in early June of this year it has been joined by Cate Blanchett and Helena Bonham Maps.
Now the company announced its participation in the “Eight girlfriends Ocean» (Ocean’s Eight) actress Anne Hathaway and singer Rihanna.
for the first time a former prisoner and paratrooper Danny Ocean and his friends (in reality they are ten and not eleven) were released in the 1960 movie directed by Lewis Milestone. This it was a carefully planned robbery of five casinos in Las Vegas and starring actors of the so-called “rat pack” – a group of American show business figures, which at the end of the 40s gathered Humphrey Bogart and his wife Lauren Bacall ; of the Ocean, for example, played by Frank Sinatra. Members of the “flock” were filmed together before this painting, and later (the last film with their participation was released in 1984), but the “Ocean’s” are the most famous of their collaborative work. Last but not least -. Due to the remake, shot in 2001 by Steven Soderbergh, and its two sequels
These “Ocean’s Eleven” became box-office hit, earning at the box office . $ 450 million
The budget picture, too, was not small for conventional thriller – probably mainly because of fees stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Julia Roberts – and costavil $ 85 million. Ignore such profit Warner Bros did not want to, and although the following two parts revenue was lower (with the same production costs), but in the end, all three films brought $ 1120000000.
With regard to the timing – not even release a picture in the rental, and the start of filming – that while it is not clear to them. Most likely, the dense work on the film will begin after Steven Soderbergh (he will be one of the producers of the remake with Clooney) has completed his new project – «Lucky Logan» (Lucky Logan), the premiere of which is scheduled for 2017.

Bad example
Certainly, the bosses Warner Bros took a lot of courage to pursue such an ambitious project with the replacement of the male characters in the women right now. This week it was announced the preliminary results of a similar project rolled – the female version of “Ghostbusters.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sony Pictures losses, which financed the film, will be about $ 70 million – taxes picture is made up of only $ 180 million with a budget of 144 million, and this despite the fact that, for example, the top 5 US box office “Hunters” lasted only two weeks.
This is certainly not a disaster for the film company as a whole, but to restart the cult film Ivan Raytmena these results were an unpleasant surprise .
in this remake of the pinned some hope on the director’s post was invited Paul FIG (which bad happened comedy actresses in the leading roles), and with the performer of the main roles – Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones – signed a contract yet and two sequels. It is now clear that no sequels will not (although Sony «Hunters’ rental stock and does not comment), Fig, probably will return to the comedy about a simple women’s happiness (or spies, but McCarthy), and actress diverge by more familiar and profitable projects. So against the background of the failure of the film Friends Ocean with a whole bunch of stars, which will cost at least not less than “Ghostbusters” (despite the fact that the female actors’ fees lower than those of their male colleagues), looks this adventure.
Even more female remakes
on the other hand, this kind of remakes in which the male characters are changed to the heroines of women without changing the plot, can be part of the Hollywood’s strategy to ensure the equal conditions for actors and actresses. So far, it is men who dominate in the films they have most of the major roles (for example, the study, which was published in The Guardian, in the main box office hits of 2014 women per se, only 12%), most replicas (even where women play the main characters .) and more fees
Actresses same accounts for only what is given almost by default actors pursue self –
and, by the way not only in the movies (as Patricia Arquette during the preparation of the “Oscar”), but also on television (as Robin Wright, who played in the “house of Cards»).
However, while it is not very good. Of course, there is the same comedy Paul fig – like “Bridesmaids” (collected $ 288.4 million with a budget of $ 32 million), “Cops in skirts” ($ 230 million at a cost of $ 43 million) and “Spy” ($ 235.6 million with a budget of $ 65 million), but the overall situation has not changed since the beginning of the era of cinema. Participants in this fight for equality, and the creators of the blockbuster – though very cautiously. For example, in Marvel kinovselennoy promises to appear “Captain Marvel” by Oscar-winning Brie Larsen (and bet this film will be female director), while the DC – “Wonder Woman”, which in a solo movie will play Gal Gadot
<. . p> But the idea of a remake of the classic paintings from the very replacement characters in Hollywood not refuse
for example, to turn there is a “Splash” – a film by Ron Howard 1984, where Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah played a story of love of man and the mermaid. The new version of the characters will be swapped – Chening Tatum will play a mermaid, a man who falls in love with earthly woman (Gillian Bell). And if such a turn of Disney’s still possible to somehow explain what’s with the “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” the situation is alarmingly.
Comedy 1988 talked about two charming swindlers (Michael Caine and Steve Martin), who argued on who best deceive rich girl (Glenne Headly). As a result, they were deceived, and in the remake, which is currently developing the MGM, is declared only Australian Rebel Wilson. Whoever hit her a couple – the actress is almost an impossible task to beat Kane and Martin. In ghost hunters, for example, to deal with the legacy of the team led by Bill Murray simply did not work.
