AS we gear up for the release of Oceans 8, James Prestridge of Close-up Culture assembles his all-female dream cast. Tell us your dream Oceans team in the comment section below.
Amy Adams
Amy Adams has already shown us she is up for the con in David O. Russell’s American Hustle.
Thandie Newton
One of those actors I am happy to see in everything. Thandie Newton brings intelligence and a British accent to this dream team.
Juilette Binoche
I wanted a European flavour to this team. Binoche gets the nod over Isabella Huppert, Julie Delpy and Marion Cotillard.
Kristen Stewart
Another reason to include Binoche is to reunite her with Clouds of Sils Maria co-star Kristen Stewart. One of the best actors of the moment, it was impossible to leave Stewart out of this team.
Gal Gadot
Gal Gadot showed us what a commanding and endearing on-screen figure she could be in Wonder Woman. Who wouldn’t feel reassured on her team?
Rooney Mara
Rooney Mara has a magnetic quality – what director Benedict Andrews called an ‘alien beauty’ – that would be a handy distraction during in a heist. Mara could be our quiet, enchanting and effective secret weapon.
Emma Stone
Emma Stone brings her trademark smile and tons of laughs to this dream team.
Charlize Theron
This team needs a leader and few actors are better suited for the job than straight-shooting badass Charlize Theron.
And the baddie… Rosamund Pike
Anyone who has seen Gone Girl will know Rosamund Pike can portray a chillingly ruthless villain. The perfect challenge for this dream team to overcome.
Mine is: lily James, Rachel mcadams, taylor swift, Tessa thompson, meryl Streep, Margot Robbie, daisy Ridley and Jessica chastain 🙂
Lily James is a cracking pick! Thanks for sharing
NIcole Kidman
Jennifer Lawrence
Emma Stone
Viola Davis
Scarlett Johansson
Spencer Octavia
Emilie Clarke
Evan Rache Wood
Slightly disappointed in myself that I didn’t pick Kidman. Too many great actors to choose from
I love this idea! here is my retro team: Audrey Hepburn, Katherine Hepburn, Betty Davis, Viven Leigh, Greta Gargo, Marilyn Monroe, Ingrid Bergman, Joan Crawford
So many incredible stars. Love the idea of Bergman and Audrey Hepburn in an Oceans film
Dream team: Jennifer Lawrence definitely be one, Selma Hayek, Eva Longoria, Adele, Beyoncé, Mila Kunis, Megan Fox, Nicole scherzinger
Carrie Fisher, Chrissy Teigen, Rachel McAdams, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Amanda Seyfried, Zendaya,Mindy Kaling (that’s handy) and Aubrey Plaza
Bad Guy: Meryl Streep
Carrie Fisher is a great pick. Love Zendaya too
Emily Blunt, Frances McDormand, Letitia Wright, Natalie Portman, Chrissy Teigan, Anna Kendrick, Cate Blanchett & Tina Fey
Blunt, McDormand and Portman all nearly made my team. Great picks 👍
