Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie are taking their onscreen romance up a notch. The pair are going from playing Barbie and Ken in the upcoming Barbie movie to the notorious thieves in an upcoming heist film.
Gosling and Robbie are set to star in a prequel for Ocean's 11, with reports suggesting that the movie will start filming soon. According to Productions List, the upcoming prequel going into production beginning on June 30, 2023.
In an interview with The Associated Press, the movie's director Jay Roach shares some details about the upcoming movie. According to the director, the film will be set in the 1960s with the Monaco Grand Prix being the backdrop.
"The Monaco Grand Prix is the backdrop and there's a big famous shipping magnate who has a yacht," Roach shared. "It's not inexpensive. And I wanted it to be old-fashioned. Margot brought it to me as a kind of old-fashioned epic love story slash adventure disguised as a heist."
"It is a heist movie still, but it's very much a love story. And we were both inspired by Hitchcock. To Catch a Thief but also Notorious. It just wants to be a big, big, you know, cinematic spectacle. We didn't quite sync up yet on what the right budget for it is," he continues.
