Sandra Bullock, Oscar-winning actress, is set to team up with George Clooney, Oscar-winning actor, to bring a gender-swapped new edition to the Ocean’s 11 franchise, starring a female cast executing the perfect robbery.

The film, which will reportedly be written by Little Women screenwriter Olivia Milch, comes at a time when other movies, which featured male cast members, are being rewritten or recast with actresses; a female-led Ghostbusters will be released next July, while Julia Roberts, Charlize Theron, and Emily Blunt have all taken roles that were originally written for men in features currently at cinemas or scheduled for release in the coming months.

In other development news, James Franco is set to direct and star in The Disaster Artist, which will focus on the behind-the-scenes action surrounding the making of one of the worst movies of all time, The Room.

Franco will likely star as Tommy Wiseau, the actor and director who rose to international notoriety in 2003 when his movie became an unlikely cult hit after only opening in a small number of cinemas in Los Angeles. That film is a sordid melodrama surrounding a love triangle between a man, his fiancée and his best friend.

Greg Sestero, who played Mark, the best friend, wrote the 2013 non-fiction book The Disaster Artist, which chronicled the actor’s experiences on set as a struggling actor in the thrall of Wiseau, who had no filmmaking experience when he started working on his film.

Franco’s younger brother Dave is attached to play Sestero, and Seth Rogen, Franco’s frequent collaborator, will produce.

Franco and Rogen’s last movie together was 2014’s , the story of a US news reporter meeting North Korean Kim Jong Un. The film infamously led to the hacking of Sony Pictures, and the film pulled from its release in the US.
