George Clooney, Brad Pitt and the rest of the gang are set to return for “Ocean’s 14”.
“Deadline” has reported that the Hollywood superstars are set to reprise their roles as Danny Ocean and Rusty Ryan respectively, in the crime comedy movie franchise.
They added that the likes of Matt Damon, Don Cheadle and Casey Affleck are also expected to reunite on screen for the next big heist.
While details around the film’s plot, other cast members and a release date have not been confirmed yet, “Deadline” said that this will be the first “Ocean’s” movie which will not be helmed by the renowned American film-maker, Steven Soderbergh.
Instead, Edward Berger, who won four Oscars for “All Quiet on the Western Front” last year, is being courted to take over directing duties. He has apparently not yet made a decision on the matter as his latest movie “Conclave” continues to garner widespread acclaim.
During an interview with “Uproxx”, Clooney revealed that a new Ocean’s movie has already been written.
"We have a really good script for another Ocean’s now so we may end up doing another one," he was quoted as saying.
“Ocean’s 14’s” producer Josey McNamara, also recently told “Games Radar”: “I can’t really say much but I think we’re just trying to do right by the franchise.”
“I’m excited for people to experience it when it’s ready.”
The movie will be the fourth film in the franchise. The first in the series was “Ocean’s Eleven” which was released in 2001. It continued with 2004’s “Ocean’s Twelve” and 2007’s “Ocean’s Thirteen”.
Julia Roberts, often referred to as the 12th member of the team, starred in the first two films as Danny’s ex-wife Tess.
Meanwhile, “Ocean’s 8,” a 2018 spin-off, featured Sandra Bullock as Danny’s sister Debbie, who, after being released from prison, assembles a special crew of seven women to steal a diamond necklace, worth 150 million dollars, from the Met Gala.
The film also starred Cate Blanchett, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Mindy Kaling and Anne Hathaway.
