More than two decades later, George Clooney is officially gearing up to bring the crew back together for a new entry in Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s trilogy.
But this time, Clooney isn’t interested in nostalgia, instead, he wants to explore what a heist looks like when you’re no longer young, fast, or invincible, but still smart enough to know how to win.
In conversation with E! News, he noted: “There was something about the idea that we’re too old to do what we used to do, but we’re still smart enough to know how to get away with something, that just appeals to me. They’ve lost a step, and they need to find a way to work around their limitations,”.
The concept was inspired by "Going in Style," the 1970s comedy about ageing criminals pulling one last job.
Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, and Don Cheadle are all set to return, with locations currently being scouted and production eyed for October.
He continued, “We got the budget approved at Warner Bros. and we’re trying to get it set up. It’s just scheduling, so it’s setting a start date for us. Probably start in about nine or 10 months, shooting. [I'm looking forward to working with] Brad, Matt, Don, and Julia. I had dinner with Julia last night. They’re all still really dear friends. And so, the chance to work together would be so fun.”
Off-screen, Clooney says he’s happier than ever, maintaining close friendships and even competitive daily Wordle battles with Damon in a group chat he’s dubbed “Nerdle.”
Damon, for the record, admits Clooney is “frustratingly good at it.” If "Ocean’s 14" captures even a fraction of that real-life chemistry, fans are in for something special.
