Rihanna will star in Warner Brothers' all-female Ocean's Eleven spinoff, alongside some other people including Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, and... wait for it... Awkwafina! The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that the Gary Ross-directed film will begin production in New York in October. It will be titled Ocean's Ocho, and apparently Steven Soderbergh -- who helmedOcean's Eleven -- will be "deeply involved" with the spinoff. Hopefully it doesn't befall the same fate as Ghostbusters, but then again, Ghostbusters didn't have Rihanna. ;)
