'Ocean's 8' Trailer: Get A Greater Glimpse Of Rihanna As Nine Ball

Prepare to get jacked by the most talented actress/criminals to ever pull an all-woman big-screen heist

With less than a month to wait for the movie Ocean's 8 June 8 release, the main trailer dropped on April 12 and set the internet buzzing, in part over Rihanna's hacker character Nine Ball. With her all-female crew of thieves led by Sandra Bullock, the nine-time GRAMMY winner will demonstrate loyalty to their heist, as opposed to the duet "Loyalty" she performed with Kendrick Lamar, which won Best Rap/Sung Performance at the 60th GRAMMY Awards.

We know Rihanna will feel at home in the elegant surroundings of the Met Gala, which will include cameo appearances from celebrities and fashion editor Anna Wintour. Her partners in crime, who attempt to remove diamonds worth nine figures from Anne Hathaway's neck, are played by Bullock along with Awkwafina, Helena Bonham Carter, Cate Blanchett, Mindy Kaling, and Sarah Paulson.

Unlike the GRAMMY Awards where James Corden keeps things moving and everybody laughing, in Ocean's 8 Corden plays an insurance investigator intent on frustrating the women's scheme. One wonders whether his attempt to get Rihanna will make him wish he hadn't tried, but it's too soon to tell.

Directed and co-written by Gary Ross, who brought Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen character to life on the big screen, Ocean's 8 is a frontrunner for can't-miss flick of the summer. For Bullock, as the estranged sister of George Clooney's character in the other Oceans films, we bet she'll have something to prove.

From American jazz to the British Invasion, reggae of Jamaica and Korean pop, music's rich and diverse history has built today's audience to be truly global. And with the emergence of the music festival to showcase music and culture, the time could not be better for the inaugural GRAMMY Festival China.

On April 30, some of the world's biggest music stars will convene at Beijing's ChangYang Music Theme Music Park for an eight-hour live music experience featuring the likes of 11-time GRAMMY winner Pharrell Williams, GRAMMY winners Macy Gray, Phoenix and Daya plus GRAMMY nominees James Bay, Carly Rae Jepsen, OneRepublic, and more.

GRAMMY Festival China performers

As the Recording Academy's latest exciting initiative, GRAMMY Festival China arrives with a bang this year as a partnership with Bravo Entertainment and China Music Vision Ltd. The new festival will expose GRAMMY-winning artists to the extraordinary Chinese culture and provide audiences with a unique, unrivaled live music experience.

"We are proud and excited to host the debut of GRAMMY Festival China in 2018," said Blues JIANG, chairman of Bravo. "It will be a monumental moment gathering GRAMMY-nominated and -winning artists during the festival and the production of live performances integrated with Chinese culture in demonstrating an unprecedented high-quality showcase. GRAMMY Festival will become a breakthrough for traditional music festivals in Asia, elevating not only the music industry, but also in engaging other industries to create a powerful, global intellectual property." 

The outstanding lineup for the inaugural GRAMMY Festival China isn't the only reason for music fans in the world's most populated country to be excited; last year, the GRAMMY Museum announced its plans to develop the first-ever GRAMMY Museum in China. The 40,000 square feet of exhibit space, which will include a temporary exhibit gallery and a theater, is expected to open within the next three years. 

Presale tickets for GRAMMY Festival China on Apr. 30 in Beijing are available for purchase now at www.damai.cn.
