Margot Robbie Films 1962 Ocean's Eleven Prequel in Saint-Tropez With Bradley Cooper

Q: How does Margot Robbie balance producing a highly anticipated 2027 blockbuster while strictly shielding her family from the Hollywood spotlight?

Margot Robbie appears to balance both by sharply separating her public work from her private life. Professionally, she is fully visible on the untitled *Ocean’s Eleven* prequel, starring opposite Bradley Cooper and producing it through LuckyChap Entertainment, the company she runs with husband Tom Ackerley. The film, set around the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix and slated for June 25, 2027, is being mounted as a major studio release, with Robbie publicly promoting its premise at CinemaCon and actively working on location in France. Privately, she has made the opposite choice. Robbie has said she has become much more careful about what she says publicly, specifically because she worries about being quoted out of context. Since becoming a mother, she has drawn an even firmer line around family matters. She and Ackerley welcomed their son in October 2024 and have not publicly shared his name or photos. That balance is also reinforced by the way she and Ackerley work. He is a producing partner at LuckyChap but generally stays behind the camera, allowing the couple to build projects together without turning their relationship or child into part of the publicity machine. Robbie’s own comments suggest the strategy is deliberate: embrace the demands of a global film franchise on set and in promotion, while refusing to make her home life part of the Hollywood narrative.

Saint-Tropez set photos showed 36-year-old Margot Robbie filming the “Ocean’s Eleven” prequel in a 1960s-style blue bikini, including scenes in the water and on the beach with Bradley Cooper.
The film centers on Danny Ocean’s parents, played by Robbie and Cooper, as they attempt a heist at the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix — a setup Robbie previewed at CinemaCon in July.
Bradley Cooper is also writing and directing the project, while Robbie is producing through LuckyChap Entertainment with husband Tom Ackerley.
The cast also includes Wagner Moura, Josh Gad and Monica Barbaro, expanding the prequel to the 2001 heist franchise led by Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Julia Roberts.
