Everything We Know About The Ocean’s 11 Prequel

Jay Roach, the director of the Ocean's Eleven prequel, has shared some intriguing details about the film in a recent interview. Set in 1962, the story takes place in Monte Carlo, primarily at the Monte Carlo Casino which serves as the target of a heist. While Roach assures that the prequel will maintain the franchise's heist movie elements, he also emphasizes that it carries a strong love story.

Robbie, who previously worked with Roach on Bombshell, earning her a second Oscar nomination, will once again collaborate with the director on the Ocean's Eleven prequel. The reunion of Robbie and Gosling, who will also star in Barbie, is highly anticipated by Roach, who believes they make a formidable duo. LuckyChap Entertainment, the production company founded by Robbie and her husband Tom Ackerley to promote female-led narratives, is producing the Ocean's Eleven prequel.

Fans were uneasy when the director described the Ocean's Eleven prequel as a "love story." The previous Ocean's movies and the all-female reboot are known for their heist-focused plots and lack of romantic elements. Therefore, introducing a love story would be a significant departure for the franchise. However, it may be worth emphasizing this element due to Robbie and Gosling's strong on-screen chemistry. Despite this shift, the producer assures fans that they will stay true to the franchise, but only time will tell how the Ocean's Eleven prequel ultimately performs.
