After a Television Critics Association panel for the new season of American Horror Story, Sarah Paulson told reporters that the heist is going to get even bigger as she goes back next week for additional shooting.

“I am actually going to do some more of that next week,” Paulson said. “They decided to add more things.”

Bullock plays Debbie Ocean, sister of Danny Ocean (George Clooney) from Ocean’s Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen. She also assembles a crew to pull off a heist, this time at the Met Gala in New York. The first image released shows Debbie Ocean’s eight on a subway. For Paulson, it was an empowering set to work on.

“It was extraordinary to look around the room and see Cate Blanchett, whom I’ve worked with twice now, and Sandra Bullock and Rihanna and Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Awkwafina,” Paulson said. “It felt like a really empowering place to be and really fun. We have a text chain going that’s one of the most epic things. If my phone were stolen, it would be… I’m sure I’m just inviting everyone to hack my phone now.”

There is plenty of time for additional photography, since Ocean’s Eight is nearly a year away from release. Gary Ross directs the script by Ross and Olivia Milch. Matt Damon is expected to appear in a cameo, providing more connection to the Ocean’s trilogy, and a Clooney cameo has not been ruled out.

Happy 53rd Birthday, Sandra! Have a wonderful day and an amazing year! ❤

“Bird Box”
Sandra Bullock is making her way back to a film set, this time with streaming giant Netflix. The Black List project “Bird Box,” based on the novel by Josh Malerman, currently has only Bullock attached to star, and centers on a postapocalyptic world where an alien invasion has forced humans to go on murderous rampages or die by suicide. While most survivors stay indoors, a woman and her two young companions try to navigate a river while blindfolded to escape a similar fate. Bullock is likely to play the lead, and casting on the project is underway with Betty Mae Casting. Production is set to start in early August. No location is currently available for the project, but expect the film to venture away from the usual coastal hubs of New York and Los Angeles. – Backstage

In more news coming out of Cannes, Deadline is reporting that Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock has signed on to star in Cash Truck, which is being directed by Jose Wladyka (Manos Sucias, Narcos) from a script by Ethan Erwin, Albert Hughes, and John Hodge.

Inspired by the 2004 French film Le Convoyeur, Cash Truck will see Bullock as Alexa, “an American who has fallen on hard times, and starts a job at a London armored car company that was the recent target of a deadly heist. She works her way into the confidence of the tight-knit crew and we discover that there is much more to Alex than it seems. As she goes to dangerous and morally complicated lengths to pursue her own mysterious agenda, an explosive secret from Alex’s past surfaces propelling the story in shocking, thrilling new directions.”

Bullock will next be seen in 2018’s Ocean’s Eight, where she stars alongside Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna and Helena Bonham Carter – Flickering Myth

Anne Hathaway has praised Sandra Bullock for making Ocean’s Eight such a child-friendly set.

The 34-year-old actress, who is mother to 11-month-old Jonathan with husband Adam Shulman, started filming the movie last November (16), when her son was just eight months old.

But Anne had few concerns over how she was going to manage both looking after Jonathan with shooting the film, as star Sandra made it clear she could bring the tot to the set.

“I only have one experience (of resources available to mums in Hollywood) so far, and it’s a movie that stars eight women, four of whom are mothers – which is definitely not the norm,” Anne told Motto magazine. “On Ocean’s Eight, kids were welcome on the set. (Before we started) I got an email from Sandra Bullock saying, ‘Hey, listen, we’re going to make this a really welcoming place for kids. I know you’re a brand-new mom, so don’t be afraid to bring your son. We love kids here.’ Change is going to come, but it’s going to take people like her with the power to make change to demand it.”

Ocean’s Eight, an all-female reboot of the heist films, stars Anne and Sandra alongside Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter, Sarah Paulson, Rihanna and Mindy Kaling, while Matt Damon, Damian Lewis, Dakota Fanning and James Corden are among the other names cast for the movie.

Anne is already preparing herself for the inevitable sexist comments Ocean’s Eight is sure to receive upon release, but has faith that co-stars Sandra and Cate can handle any rude remarks.

“In this movie there are eight women starring, so it may well attract that sort of attention. But good luck to any person who tries to take on Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett because you’re not going to win,” she laughed. – Hollywood.com

In January, Rihanna posted the first cast picture of Ocean’s Eight on her twitter:

Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow kicked off Monday morning by sharing the first official image from the spinoff, featuring all eight leading ladies: Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Sarah Paulson, Rihanna, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling and Awkwafina.
The film’s first logline also revealed the group’s character names and event setting: “The tide will turn as Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock) attempts to pull off the heist of the century at New York City’s star-studded annual Met Gala. Her first stop is to assemble the perfect crew: Lou (Cate Blanchett); Nine Ball (Rihanna); Amita (Mindy Kaling); Constance (Awkwafina); Rose (Helena Bonham Carter); Daphne Kluger (Anne Hathaway); and Tammy (Sarah Paulson).” – The Hollywood Reporter

Sandra covered the October 2016 issue of Fair Lady Magazine. The article is about her being called “The boss” by George Clooney:

Known for her humility, self-deprecating sense of humor, intelligence and candour, actress Sandra Bullock is much more than she appears to be. George Clooney calls her ‘the boss’ – and that just about says it all.
