Brad Pitt and George Clooney are reportedly plotting a return to the Ocean’s franchise with a new film, tentatively titled Ocean’s 14. It’s been over a decade since the dynamic duo last graced the big screen together in Ocean’s Thirteen (2007). Sources reveal that the A-list stars are actively pursuing Edward Berger to helm the upcoming installment. They are also gearing up for the release of ‘Wolfs’.
Deadline reports that while nothing is set in stone yet, the new film could see the return of franchise regulars like Matt Damon and Casey Affleck. In December 2023, George Clooney hinted at the project, noting that while they are working on a script, the new movie might not follow the exact trajectory of its predecessors. He likened the script’s vibe to the 1979 classic Going In Style.
Berger, whose recent accolades include the Oscar-winning All Quiet on the Western Front, is gaining recognition as a top-tier filmmaker. His latest project, Conclave, a drama about the election of a new pope, has already been praised and is generating buzz ahead of its Toronto Film Festival premiere. With a strong cast that includes Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci, Berger’s reputation is on the rise.
The new film marks a departure from Steven Soderbergh’s previous directorial helmings. Despite the fact that Berger has yet to receive an official offer, the momentum behind the project is palpable. Warner Bros and Smokehouse are keen on moving forward, and insiders are hopeful that the Ocean’s franchise’s signature charm will remain intact with this fresh direction.
Clooney has expressed enthusiasm about the script and its alignment with the spirit of Going In Style. Fans of the series can expect a blend of nostalgia and innovation as Pitt and Clooney look to revive the beloved franchise with a new twist. The return of the Ocean’s ensemble, including Damon and Affleck, is highly anticipated as the project continues to develop.
