The Ocean's Eleven prequel isn't getting any closer to filming, its star and producer Margot Robbie confirmed.
Heist movies fans will have to wait longer than expected to see Robbie and her Barbie co-star Ryan Gosling in action in the previously announced 1960s-set origin story.
While the film is "still in development" according to Robbie, it seems that such a large-scale project will need some extra time before starting production.

"Well, that's still in development. Word got out about that; we didn't release anything because it's way too soon, to be honest," Robbie told Deadline.
"Whether it winds up being the next thing, I don't know. I don't think so. It's a pretty big project to put together and there are certain logistical things that we have to time it around."
Meanwhile, Robbie is keeping busy producing several projects with her company LuckyChap Entertainment, including Olivia Wilde's upcoming Christmas comedy Naughty.

"For us as a company, we have a film with Olivia Wilde, which is moving quite quickly, so that could be the next thing we shoot. I'm not acting in it, just producing," Robbie explained.
"A couple of TV things should go this year too. And for me as an actor, I love acting in things that I'm not a producer on, so I'm looking at a couple of things but there's nothing concrete yet."
Set in the Swinging Sixties in Europe, the Ocean's Eleven prequel is rumoured to see Robbie and Gosling as the parents of franchise protagonist Danny Ocean (George Clooney). The movie is set to be directed by Jay Roach, who knows a thing or two about recreating that 1960s for the big screen after helming the Austin Powers trilogy.
