Anne Hathaway's representative denies Cate Blanchett feud claims
Anne Hathaway's representative has denied rumors of a feud between the actress and her Ocean's Eight co-star Cate Blanchett.
The Oscar-winning actress has been on the New York set of the spy caper alongside her all-star cast, including Cate, Rihanna, Sandra Bullock, Sarah Paulson, Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham Carter and musician Awkwafina.
Allegations of problems between Cate and Anne first emerged in
Australian publication Woman's Day, with the report claiming the
pair had been "butting heads" on the set.
"Cate's very laid back and easygoing, but Anne's rubbing her the
wrong way," a source told the outlet. "They had a few angry words
and didn't speak for a few days. Now they're trying to keep things
cordial... but it's difficult to say the least."
However, a representative for Anne has come forward to slam the
claims, insisting similar allegations wouldn't have emerged if the
film had an all-male cast.
"It's complete rubbish and totally false. Everyone on the film is
having a blast with each other. So typical that a tabloid would pit
females against each other," the spokesperson told E! News. "It's
sad. They don't do this with men."
Mindy recently revealed plot details about the upcoming movie,
which started shooting earlier this month (Nov16), telling late
night chat show host Stephen Colbert that the film is "(set) in New
York City and there’s a fashion element to it."
The original Ocean’s films tell the tale of a group of slick
criminals who team up to perform an impressive heist.
Ocean's Eight will be directed by Gary Ross and produced by
filmmaker Steven Soderbergh, who helmed the Ocean's Trilogy which
also starred George Clooney.
It remains to be seen whether Ocean's Eight will be the first in a
series of films about the female team of heist merchants.
