First Ghostbusters, now Ocean's Eleven is getting an all-female reboot with Sandra Bullock leading the cast.

Late producer Jerry Weintraub, director Steven Soderbergh, and the franchise's main star George Clooney backed the project last year, and according to The Playlist, everything is definitely moving ahead.

Queen & Country's Olivia Milch has already completed the script and Hunger Games director Gary Ross has signed on to take charge of the project.

The 2001 heist film starring Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon was itself a remake of the 1960 Rat Pack film of the same name.

It spawned two sequels, Ocean's Twelve in 2004 and Ocean's Thirteen in 2007, which took over $1 billion at the box office combined.

Bullock, meanwhile, currently stars in political drama Our Brand Is Crisis, which is released in the US today (October 30) and on January 22 in the UK.
