Rumors are swirling about an exciting new collaboration between Hollywood stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. The beloved duo, who previously starred together in the blockbuster hit "Barbie," are reportedly teaming up once again for an upcoming prequel film in the "Ocean's 11" franchise. Directed by Jay Roach, known for his work on "Austin Powers" and "Bombshell," and written by Carrie Solomon, the film is expected to showcase Robbie and Gosling's on-screen chemistry.
Producer Josey McNamara expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating that they are aiming to do justice to the franchise.
McNamara also hinted at the possibility of future collaborations between Robbie and Gosling, as he believes they work wonderfully together. Although details about the plot remain under wraps, sources suggest that the heist film will be set in 1960s Europe, providing a fresh perspective for fans of the original George Clooney and Brad Pitt-led film, as well as the 2018 Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett-led spinoff.
Robbie, Roach, and Gosling have not released any official statements regarding their involvement in the project.
However, it is worth noting that Robbie and Gosling received high praise for their performances together in "Barbie," despite initial skepticism. Director Greta Gerwig revealed that she had to defend Gosling's involvement in a memorable musical number during the film's climax. Gerwig's incorporation of a dream ballet segment, reminiscent of the iconic scene in "Singin' in the Rain," was initially met with doubt. Nevertheless, Gerwig remained committed to her vision, confident that audiences would respond positively.
Although little is known about the upcoming "Ocean's 11" prequel, excitement surrounding the project continues to grow.
Fans eagerly await the opportunity to see Robbie and Gosling team up once again, and with the talented duo at the helm, the prospects are promising.
