'American Horror Story' star Sarah Paulson joins all-female cast of 'Ocean's Eleven' reboot

As if the “Ocean’s Eleven” spinoff movie’s cast isn’t star-studded enough, another stellar actress is set to be added to the all-female list.

Negotiations are reportedly underway to include “American Horror Story” star Sarah Paulson to join the ensemble cast of the upcoming film, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Titled “Ocean’s Ocho,” the confirmed cast members include Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Rihanna, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling and Awkwafina.

The Internet Movie Database, or IMDb, reported that the movie is scheduled to begin production in October. It is going to be directed by Gary Ross, who also wrote the screenplay with Olivia Milch. “Ocean’s Eleven” director Steven Soderbergh will reportedly take part of the film, as well, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Paulson has starred in FX’s “American Horror Story,” taking on different roles. The 41-year-old actress also was known as Marcia Clark in “American Crime Story” in “ The People v. O.J. Simpson .” Her recent films include “Mud,” “12 Years a Slave” and “Carol.”

She is expected to bring another dimension to the strong ensemble cast of “Ocean’s Ocho.” Expectations are high on this film, especially since “Ocean’s Eleven” and its sequels had been successful in the box office. “Ocean’s Eleven” is a 2001 comedy heist film, which was a remake of the 1960 movie of the same title. It starred George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Andy García, and Julia Roberts. Soderbergh also directed the two sequels, “Ocean's Twelve ” in 2004 and “Ocean's Thirteen” in 2007.

While Warner Bros still hasn’t released an official storyline, reports surfaced that “Ocean’s Ocho” will be another heist movie. It is said to follow a team of thieves who will try to steal a necklace from the Met Ball to frame a corrupt gallery owner.

“Ocean’s Ocho” is scheduled to hit theatres in 2017. Stay tuned for updates and spoilers.
