The cast really is beginning to assemble for Ocean's Eight, the female-driven caper spin-off from Ocean's Eleven. Sarah Paulson is the latest person to enter talks.

Gary Ross is preparing to direct this one, working from a script he wrote with Olivia Milch. Ocean's overlord Steven Soderbergh is producing the film, and already locked in place are Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling and Awkwafina, who will star in the story of a group of women thieves plotting a heist.

What exactly Paulson would do in the movie has yet to be revealed, but it's certainly a top notch cast and she'd be a great addition. The actress has been in awards consideration for her work on the small screen in particular, especially American Horror Story and now The People Vs OJ Simpson, in which she played prosecutor Marcia Clark. On the big screen, she's worked on biopic Rebel In The Rye, which should be on screens next year.
