$1.1 billion: The classic heist saga of the 2000s returns to the cinema with its stars

The bank explodes again… but not in the way we imagined. The latest news was that there was talk of a prequel set in 1962 that would mark the reunion of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling outside of the world of Barbie.

And George Clooney, for his part, confirmed that the script for Ocean’s 14 was ready, which few believed. and yet…

term Today it is reported that the project will be implemented. With George Clooney and Brad Pitt in front of the camera. But it’s a big change that Steven Soderbergh isn’t far behind.

Thanks to the adaptation of Nothing New in the West, which won 4 Oscars in 2023 (including Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film), German director Eduard Berger was asked to direct this new opus on the stage. But he is far from faithful.

Because other franchises are eyeing him, starting (if the rumors are true) with Jason Bourne and James Bond. Passed through Venice a few days ago with its conclave, in theaters here on December 4th, so may be spoiled for choice.

And if he were to pass on Ocean’s 14, it wouldn’t be in favor of Steven Soderbergh, who has repeatedly reminded the franchise that it’s over.

Old fashioned robbery?

Which will continue without him. Third time with the Ocean’s 8 sequel/spin-off directed by Jay Roach (where Margot Robbie will be George Clooney’s mother) and this new movie.

Whose script will be, according to Danny Ocean’s translator, will be close to the script of Going in Style, where three pensioners rob a bank when they discover that their pension funds have been frozen.

Seven years after Zach Braff’s remake, Ocean’s 14 might go the same way. With more people (because it’s hard to imagine George Clooney and Brad Pitt not convincing Matt Damon, Casey Affleck et al not to come back) and a casino instead of a bank. With which director remains to be seen.

The good news is that we won’t have to wait long until we see George Clooney and Brad Pitt in a movie together again, as they’ll both be joining the cast of Wolves this month. The bad news is that the theatrical release has been canceled in favor of a September 27 release on Apple TV+.
