Jennifer Lawrence is rumored to star in the upcoming Ocean’s 11 reboot.
Last year it was revealed that George Clooney is working on a reboot to Ocean’s 11, this time around with a female cast. Sandra Bullock was in consideration for the starring role, which Clooney had in the previous Oceans movies.
Now there’s another rumor swirling around the internet. Jennifer Lawrence, the highest paid actress in Hollywood, is reportedly in talks to star in the movie as well. According to Indiewire, the reboot is going forward with Sandra Bullock and director Gary Ross. Ross previously directed Jennifer Lawrence in the Hunger Games franchise, which makes this rumor a lot more credible.

If this news is true, this could be another example of Hollywood trying to combat sexism in the film industry by giving women more starring roles. For example, Bullock recently starred in Our Brand is Crisis, a role which was originally written for a man. And Hollywood is releasing a reboot to Ghostbusters with an all female cast. It’s also important to point out that Jennifer Lawrence has spoken out against the gender pay gap in the film industry. It’s interesting to see female filmmakers, leaders, and actresses leading a new generation of female-driven movies in Hollywood.
