Exciting news has emerged about the upcoming Oceans 11 prequel film, “Oceans,” shedding light on Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling’s roles. According to ShowBiz411, the dynamic duo will step into the shoes of none other than the parents of Danny (George Clooney) and Debbie (Sandra Bullock) in the 1960s European setting.
The choice to delve into the past of the Clooney-Bullock characters adds a layer of nostalgia to the narrative, situating it firmly within the existing universe crafted by Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s franchise. Executive producer Josey McNamara teased fans with an update, expressing enthusiasm about Robbie and Gosling’s on-screen chemistry. McNamara shared, “They’re wonderful together. The more projects even outside of that we can have them do would be amazing. I can’t really say much, but I think we’re just trying to do right by the franchise. I’m excited for people to experience it when it’s ready.”
Directed by Jay Roach, known for his work with Robbie in “Bombshell,” the film explores the powerful connection between the two lead actors. Roach addressed initial concerns about reuniting Robbie and Gosling after “Barbie,” emphasizing the undeniable chemistry that makes some pairings irresistible. He mused, “It’s such a powerful, powerful duo, you know? And it’s the suspense of will they come together; will they trust each other enough to team up? That’s romantic.”
Roach further revealed the romantic and adventurous essence of the film, describing it as an old-fashioned epic love story cleverly disguised as a heist. Drawing inspiration from Hitchcock classics like “To Catch a Thief” and “Notorious,” the director aspires to deliver a cinematic spectacle of grand proportions.
Adding to the anticipation, the screenplay for “Oceans” was crafted by Carrie Solomon, promising a blend of heist thrills and a captivating love story. As the project unfolds under Roach’s direction, fans can expect a cinematic journey that pays homage to the franchise’s roots while delivering a fresh and exhilarating experience.
