Every “con” has its pros as Warner Bros. Pictures released the first official trailer for their upcoming all-female Ocean’s 11 spin-off film Ocean’s 8. View trailer below.

Danny Ocean’s estranged sister Debbie attempts to pull off the heist of the century at New York City’s star-studded annual Met Gala. Her first stop is to assemble the perfect crew: Lou, Rose, Daphne Kluger, Nine Ball, Tammy, Amita, and Constance

Hmmmm…..i don’t know about this. Yes, i do love the Ocean’s 11 trilogy (with 2001’s Ocean’s 11 being the best of trio) and i do love the cast of this new movie and the film itself looks like to be quite an interesting capper heist flick, but i do have reservations about this movie. For starters, its pretty much the same concept of the first film and how all the characters ensemble and pull off a heist. Yes, i do that heist movie are pretty much the same (i.e. not really breaking the established formula), but this movie just seems like the same old Ocean’s 11 with such an all female cast. This is same feeling that i had with when 2016’s Ghostbusters came out. Why was it made? To be honest, i would’ve rather seeing an Ocean’s 14 movie than Ocean’s 8. I mean….i would’ve rather seeing something new and creative from these talented females actresses than them trying to “copy” that what was already done by men. Women readers and followers….am i right? Still, the movie could surprise me and could be a hit, but, despite that hope, my expectations for this movie are not that much elevated, especially after seeing this trailer.

Ocean’s 8  is set to open on June 8th, 2018
