Margot Robbie confirms story details for new Ocean’s Eleven prequel

We’ve been given some new plot details about the upcoming Ocean’s Eleven prequel – with star Margot Robbie teasing that the film will focus on the parents of George Clooney’s character Danny Ocean. The news was confirmed at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, with the Barbie and Wuthering Heights star appearing during a sizzle reel that teased Warner Bros’ 2027 slate. “Before Danny Ocean ever stepped foot in Vegas, two masterminds taught him everything he knows – his parents,” she revealed. “You’ll see them in their prime, and in our new movie, pulling off an epic heist at the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix.” That certainly sounds like a fittingly glamorous setting for the movie, which will star Bradley Cooper alongside Robbie after the former replaced the previously announced Ryan Gosling in the cast. Cooper will also be helming the project – his fourth film as director following A Star Is Born, Maestro and Is This Thing On? – after Twisters and Minari filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung departed the film due to creative differences last month.

Want a better job and a pay rise? Eleven ways to progress at work – and avoid a ‘dry promotion’ | Life and style

There is nothing worse than feeling stuck in a job. What are the best ways to progress without having to resort to shameless self-promotion? Here, career coaches explain how to make sure you are first in line for a promotion – and a pay rise. Position yourself as a winner “One of the major secrets to getting any sort of promotion is that you must sow the seeds early on and build up to the point where the promotion feels like the natural next step,” says John Brown, a career coach in Nottingham. “First, you have to nail the current job. Make sure you meet your deadlines, hit all your targets and fall firmly into the ‘delivering’ category. Be brave enough to push back if your targets are unachievable. Don’t set yourself up to fail by simply agreeing to everything.” Tessa Grint, a career coach based in Bangkok who describes herself as a “leadership architect”, agrees: “You need to become the leader before you get the promotion. A promotion is the reward and recognition of …

Eleven arrested in probe over far-right activist’s death, with far-left group under scrutiny

On Quai Fulchiron, in Lyon, on February 16, 2026, near the spot where Quentin Deranque was assisted by firefighters. OLIVIER CHASSIGNOLE/AFP France’s judicial police launched a wave of arrests on the evening of Tuesday, February 17, five days after the fatal assault on Quentin Deranque, a 23-year-old student and far-right activist who was beaten on a sidewalk in Lyon. The attack followed clashes between radical groups on the sidelines of a conference by hard-left La France Insoumise (LFI) MEP Rima Hassan on Thursday, February 12, at Sciences Po Lyon. Nine people – seven men and two women – were initially arrested in the Lyon region. They were taken into police custody in Lyon as part of the preliminary investigation launched by prosecutors for “murder,” “criminal conspiracy” and “aggravated violence by a group, use of makeshift weapons, and concealing their faces.” On Wednesday morning, a prosecutor announced two additional arrests – a man and a woman – bringing the total number to 11. At least six of the people arrested were suspected of directly taking part …

Is Eleven Dead? Duffer Brothers Answer

[This story contains MAJOR spoilers from the series finale of Stranger Things 5.] Creators Matt and Ross Duffer have always known what the final shot of Stranger Things would be, and now viewers have been clued in on that epic ending. After five seasons, 10 years and many escapades to the Upside Down, the mega-hit Netflix series has brought the story of Stranger Things to a close. The Hawkins, Indiana, group of high schoolers defeated villain Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) against all odds, but it came at the massive price of Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) sacrificing herself for the larger good of her friends and the world at large. Is Eleven really dead, or should the audience believe the hopeful story Mike (Finn Wolfhard) shared in the final scene of the series, which saw the original group graduating and passing on Dungeons & Dragons — and hopefully a less traumatic teen era — onto the next generation as they exit childhood and close this chapter of the Stranger Things franchise for good.

German thieves steal up to $105m in ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ heist: What we know | Banks News

Robbers stole items worth up to $105m from safe-deposit boxes held at a German retail bank in Gelsenkirchen, North Rhine-Westphalia state, during the Christmas holiday, German police said on Tuesday. The German news agency dpa reported that it may rank among the biggest thefts in the country’s history. What happened and what was stolen? The thieves broke into a branch of Sparkasse bank in the city of Gelsenkirchen, in North Rhine-Westphalia state, from an adjacent parking garage, according to the police, at some point when businesses were closed for the Christmas holiday. The German state is home to museums and Gothic architecture. Its capital, Dusseldorf, is known for its shopping boulevard and the Rheinturm telecommunications tower. Using a large drill, the thieves bore through a thick concrete wall of the bank and gained access to an underground vault room. Then, they forced open some 3,000 safe deposit boxes, before making off with cash, gold and jewellery. A police spokesperson likened the break-in to the movie, Ocean’s Eleven, and described it as “very professionally executed”, according …
