It's now turn for the ladies  to take a shot in a heist. And this time, they only need 8 people. Ocean's 8 relives the family thieving business with diverse recruits with specific of set of skills.

Debbie Ocean (Bullock) is Danny Ocean's sister who has also planned her own large scale heist with the initial help of Lou (Blanchett) to recruit all the people they need to pull off a steal of jewelries from the MET Gala. They came across Amita (Kailing), Rose Weil (Bonham-Carter), Tammy (Paulson), Nine Ball (Rihanna), and Constance (Awkwafina) to put up a small yet effective team.

Their target is the Toussaint which is worth $150 Million which will be worn on the neck of high-profile celebrity Daphne Kluger (Hathaway). Though it may look simple, but the venue and security are of top class which makes thing complicated.

On April 12  2012, the battle for Earth begins at sea. Peter  Berg directs and produces Battleship, an epic-scale action-adventure that unfolds across the seas, in the skies and over land as our planet fights for survival against a superior force.

After the blockbuster success of the toys-to-films Transformers and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Hasbro reviewed the catalogue and focused on “Battleship” as its first game-to-film.  Still, the company knew it wouldn’t move forward until a crucial dilemma was resolved: how to logically transfigure a beloved property into a cohesive and entertaining motion picture.

It was crucial to the producers that when audiences see this epic, they witness an incredible spectacle. Bennet  Schneir,  the leader in leisure time entertainment services and products in Hasbro Inc. says: “They’re going to see airplanes and ships and aliens and shredders and thugs.  They’re going to see the game of ‘Battleship’ that they all grew up on come to life in front of them.  And at the core of it, they’re going to see a story about a group of human beings who are up against impossible odds.”
