Ocean's Eleven female spin-off

There's always room to be surprised, but the words "cynical cash grab" are the first that spring to mind. A slick, smart, female led crime caper would be a nice thing to have, but if this is one it will be purely accidental, and secondary to the fact that it makes loads of money.

For your first instinct to be incorrect, the movie would need a title that wasn't 100% banking on brand recognition to sell. Adding Rihanna on top of that is beyond cynical cash grab, it's downright malignant.

Lets be clear here. Ocean's Eleven as a franchise exists so that some actors that get along in real life can tag along exotic locales looking cool/smart together while a subplot that only exist to give them an excuse sort-of moves forwards. The movies could work as well as a heist, a road trip or a paranormal adventure. The plot, the directors, even the genre only exist to highlight the real force that drives the movie: the charisma and chemistry between the actors (not the characters, the actors, because they can pretty much be cast as themselves).

As such, there is already a women's side of Ocean Eleven:

But whatever, other than that I see no problem with having a female version of Ocean's Eleven, except I don't know if the actresses casted have the chemistry to pull this off.

Didn't John Muhlaney make an awesome bit about how this wouldn't work?

You're right. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a youtube video of the stand up performance. He repeats the bit in the first part of the interview.
