    Does that say “with Rihanna?” How in the world does she get a higher designation than everyone there except for Helena Bonham Carter, who got the coveted “and?”

    It’s a nice poster, but I really hope that the movie is good and not another “Ghostbusters” debacle.

    • ORIGINAL T.C. says:

      Rihanna’s picture is much smaller and her name all the way at the end where most people don’t notice. Only movie buffs understand what the titles “with” or “and” mean. Names and pictures in the foreground are what the average person notices. I’m sure RhiRhi fans would prefer her name and picture as first not towards the last?

    • Veronica says:

      That might have been an aesthetic choice on the part of the designers so they didn’t have two “and ____ and ____” on the front.

    • browniecakes says:

      This one has Oscar winners and not just SNL alum, so you will like it better I bet. And the time is right for this movie.
      I liked girl Ghostbusters.

    • Marr says:

      Rumor is the movie’s gonna be garbage (weak script, too many reshoots) and that Rihanna’s part has been reduced to that of a glorified cameo even though the marketing team will milk her involvement in it to the last drop… Then again, rumor was that Wonder Woman was going to be a mess too and look how that turned out. Fingers crossed it’s good but I’m not holding my breath.

      • Rhys says:

        Not a fan of Rihanna the actress, but whatever! This movie is obviously meant to be pure entertainment so bring it on!

      • ORIGINAL T.C. says:

        Well that makes sense seeing that she’s not an actress. They could give these roles to the hundreds of struggling and talented young Black actresses out there but it’s meant to be stunt casting with a famous person.

      • Jussie says:

        If the film is at all true to the original formula, Rihanna’s role was always going to be a glorified cameo.

        She’s not a lead character. She’s playing the kind of part Don Cheadle and Eddie Jemison played in Oceans 11, where they had like 4-5 minutes of screentime focused on them, and about another 5-6 minutes where they were around as part of the group and had a few lines. So maybe at a stretch 15 minutes all up if you count the scenes where they’re just visible in the background.

        That’s all people should be expecting from Rihanna in this film. If her main part is cut down to two minutes then there was an issue, but otherwise it’s as expected.

      • Plantpal says:

        @Rhys oh, sorry to hear that. Riri was my favourite part of Battleship. I think she rocked her part bigly!!! LOL

  2. yaaaaas
    rihanna is soo gonna slay
    l love sandra as Danny’s sister
    crazzzzzy lol

  3. Lucy says:

    I! Am! So! Hyped! For this movie!!!

  4. Marie says:

    I have that poster saved as my phone screensaver already. Ocean’s 8 is on my must watch list for 2018, together with Infinity War, Black Panther and A Wrinkle In Time. I’m loving Mindy’s project choices post TMP.

    • Yup, Me says:

      Same here! And I’m so pleased that Black Panther is out in February. It’s going to be my birthday celebration watch party and I’m SO ready to start the year in a magnificent, militant fashion!

  5. minx says:

    I’m there.

  6. Lucy says:

    lol who’s gonna pay to see this lame movie ?

  7. moo says:

    at first glance, I thought this was another #metoo moment…… :/
    as a movie, the line up looks pretty good – may have to see this one

  8. Betsy says:

    I don’t like most of those actresses, but I’ll still see it. Albeit not in the theater (so. loud.)

  9. Neelyo says:

    That poster is probably ten times better than the movie will be.

    • Esmom says:

      I tend to agree.

      I laughed at the tweet with the multiple Rihannas because I also think she looks the most badass. Cate Blanchett looks oddly like Anna Farris.

  10. smcollins says:

    Something to look forward to in 2018. I’m so there.

  11. Lori says:

    Is no3 from the left Amal?

    Edit: or maybe Anne I guess.

  12. BlossomBetch says:

    I dunno. Making a (probably one-off) all-female instalment of a male-oriented franchise is kind of lame, imo. I’d much rather see an original series of high quality films that uses its female characters as assets and not gimmicks. Call me cynical, but when this bombs, producers are going to be like: “Female-led action thrillers don’t sell”, when as the 4th(?) film in the series, it didn’t really stand a chance against the smelly fanboys of an established franchise. Like the disastrous Ghostbusters reboot, I’m worried this’ll do more harm than good. Bring on creativity and new material.

    • Lori says:

      I had the same thought at first. Why do the ladies have to remake a male concept when we are perfectly capable of making our own. Same with Ghostbusters.

      But I’m buying a ticket for Rihanna, Sarah and Helena. They tricked me into it with their sneaky casting 😛

  13. Kath says:

    I would prefer an original concept rather than the whole ‘female remake/installment’ thing, but – after this year of hell – I will support ANY film that puts women front-and-centre.

  14. StillTotalled says:

    Whatever.
    I loved the theatrical release of Ghostbusters 2017. DVD version not so much.

  15. Ann says:

    I will support any movies starring women over 40. Here is my money!

  16. HeyThere! says:

    I will actually see this on the big screen because it’s important this movie does well! Plus I think it will be entertaining!

  17. Gia says:

    It was also directed by the one of the Hunger Games directors who is known in circles as a misogynistic douche.
