Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter and Elizabeth Banks Join OCEAN'S ELEVEN Spinoff

In case you've been wondering why Hollywood isn't making more "Ocean's Eleven" movies, you'll be happy to know that an all-female spinoff is being developed. The film, which is going by the working title "Ocean's Ocho" will be directed by Gary Ross ("The Hunger Games"), and it has already rounded up some interesting names.

The most recent to join the cast are Helena Bonham Carter, Cate Blanchett, Elizabeth Banks and Mindy Kaling. Sandra Bullock was already on board and set to lead the ensemble as the sister of Danny Ocean, played by George Clooney in the original trilogy, while Blanchett will play a character similar to Brad Pitt's Rusty.

Carter recently appeared in Disney's "Alice Through the Looking Glass" and is set to star alongside Hilary Swank in Bille August's drama "55 Steps". Kaling is currently starring in her own TV series "The Mindy Project". Banks will be seen next year as the villain Rita Repulsa in the "Power Rangers" reboot and in the sequel "Pitch Perfect 3".
