Widely acclaimed heist flick ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ helmed by Steven Soderbergh completed twenty years last year. The film has often been credited to have revitalized the heist film genre across the world. The immense success of ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ was followed by two sequels namely ‘Ocean’s Twelve’ and ‘Ocean’s Thirteen’ directed by Soderbergh himself. Later, in 2018, a spin-off film titled ‘Ocean’s 8’ was released.
‘Ocean’s 11’ lead actor George Clooney has revealed in a recent interview (via Uproxx) that they already have a great script for a new Ocean’s movie and that they may actually end up doing the film, which won’t probably be called ‘Ocean’s 14’. The charismatic actor even compared the new Ocean’s movie with the 1979 heist flick ‘Going in Style’ which revolved around three old men who hatched a plan to rob a bank.
All the Ocean’s films until now have been star-studded affairs. Soderbergh’s first Ocean’s movie comprised actors like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Andy Garcia, Casey Affleck, and Don Cheadle, etc. The second film included Catherine Zeta-Jones and the third film ‘Ocean’s Thirteen’ was blessed with the presence of legendary actor Al Pacino.
In case the next Ocean’s film really happens, it would be interesting to see which of the Ocean’s films’ cast members would be retained. Because the titular character Danny Ocean (essayed by George Clooney) was portrayed as dead in the last film. So, if somehow the makers can convince the audience that Danny’s death was another one of his confidence tricks, then that would certainly be delightful news for Ocean’s film fans.
George Clooney, who was last seen on the big screen in an interesting cameo in the DCEU superhero movie ‘The Flash’, is geared up for his upcoming directorial project – the biographical sports film ‘The Boys in the Boat’. He will next be seen alongside Brad Pitt in Jon Watts’ action thriller movie ‘Wolfs’.
You might also be aware that a few days back, it was revealed that the ‘Barbie’ lead actor duo Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie are set to star in the ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ prequel movie titled ‘Oceans’. They will be essaying the role of the parents of Danny Ocean, the titular character played by George Clooney in ‘Ocean’s Eleven’. Stay tuned to Binged for the latest updates on the new Ocean’s movie starring George Clooney.
