Back in October, it was announced that Gary Ross (The Hunger Games, Pleasantville) would be directing a female centric reboot of Ocean’s Eleven and now he might be adding another Oscar winning actress to the cast.

               According to The Tracking Board, Jennifer Lawrence is in discussions to join Sandra Bullock for the film. Lawrence has worked with Ross previously in the first film in The Hunger Games franchise. Though I wasn’t a fan of this film with Bullock in the lead, adding Lawrence would be a welcome addition as she has great comedy chops and could be similar to the Brad Pitt character within the Ocean’s Trilogy.

               The women-led reboot will be produced by George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh who starred and directed the original film respectively. Rumors have it that Bullock’s character will play Danny Ocean’s sister and an ex-con.
