What It Would Take To Make Ocean's 9, According to Sandra Bullock
Sandra Bullock speaks about what she and her co-stars would need in order to make the Ocean's 8 sequel Ocean's 9 happen. The film is part of the Ocean's 11 heist movie franchise, which began with the 1960 film which starred many members of the Rat Pack including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. as a group of criminals leading an epic heist in Las Vegas. That film was remade in 2001 was Steven Soderbergh with George Clooney as the titular leader Danny Ocean and an ensemble that included Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, and Julia Roberts. That film would go on to be a huge success, becoming #5 in the worldwide box office that year, spawning the sequels Ocean's Twelve in 2004 and Ocean's Thirteenin 2007.
In 2018, the franchise was rebooted yet again, with Sandra Bullock starring as Danny Ocean's sister, Debbie Ocean, leading an all-female heist to steal a $150 million necklace at the Met Gala. The film is in continuity with the Soderbergh trilogy, even featuring cameos from Elliott Gould as Reuben and Shaobo Qin as Yen. The massive ensemble cast also includes Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, and Helena Bonham Carter. The film performed quite well, scoring the biggest opening weekend in the Ocean's franchise and doubling its $70 million budget in the domestic box office and earning around $300 million worldwide, which is comparable with the performance of Ocean's Thirteen.
