Ocean’s Eleven is heading for round three. The original installment of the heist film came out in 1960 and starred Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr., all of whom were members of the famous Rat Pack.

The movie inspired the 2001 remake in which George Clooney played the titular role of Danny Ocean, and was joined by Brad Pitt and Matt Damon. Two sequels followed—titled Ocean’s Twelve and Ocean’s Thirteen, as well as an all-female spin-off called Ocean’s 8 that featured Sandra Bullock, Anne Hathaway, and Rihanna amongst its stellar cast.

A new remake is now reportedly on the cards with Margot Robbie tapped for the lead role. The Barbie actress is also rumored to be producing the film which will be helmed by Jay Roach who directed her in Bombshell.

In a nod to the original, the new Ocean’s Eleven will once again be set in the ‘60s, albeit in Europe.

Although the project has yet to be officially greenlit by Warner Bros., it is expected that shooting will begin next year.
