The first trailer for the all-female crime caper, Ocean’s Eight, has been dropped. A sequel to Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s trilogy, it stars Sandra Bullock as ringleader Debbie Ocean, the sister of George Clooney’s character Danny. The trailer begins with Debbie sitting in a prison talking about how she violated her parole but assuring the board about her intention to lead a normal, crime-free life. But after getting out of jail, she assembles a crew — Cate Blanchett, Rihanna, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, and Helena Bonham Carter — to help her rob a woman (Anne Hathaway) wearing a $150 billion necklace at the annual Met Gala in New York. And soon, the action begins to unfold as Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots are Made For Walking” kicks in. [caption id=“attachment_4266517” align=“alignnone” width=“825”]
