It looks likeDanny Ocean and Rusty Ryan are heading for one last heist, and this time, they’re bringing alongDavid Leitch, with theBullet Traindirector in final talks to directOcean’s 14, which reportedly seeking to bring backGeorge ClooneyandBrad Pitt.Last year, Clooney revealed that there was a script ready for the movie, based on another classic heist film. “We have a really good script for anotherOcean’snow, so we may end up doing another one,”Clooney told Uproxx. “It’s actually a great script. I don’t want to call it [Ocean’s 14],the idea is kind of likeGoing in Style." For those who haven’t had the chance to see it,Going in Stylefollowed a group of retirees who, when they grow bored with their day-to-day mundane lives, decide to commit a robbery to bring some enjoyment back into the final days of their lives.
This would be the first of the mainOcean’sfilms which isn’t directed bySteven Soderbergh, who took the reins onOcean’s Eleven(2001)and its sequelsOcean’s Twelve(2004) andOcean’s Thirteen(2007). The 2001 film, which was a remake of the 1960 Rat Pack classic, was a massive hit at the worldwide box office and rejuvenated the heist genre. Clooney’s slick portrayal of Danny Ocean and Pitt’s perenially hungry Rusty Ryan, alongside an ensemble cast that includedMatt Damon,Julia Roberts, andDon Cheadle, hit just the right notes for what would come to be the franchise’s beloved mix of wit, charm, and big time heists. There was also an all-female spin-off,Ocean’s 8, which starredSandra BullockandCate Blanchett.
As for why Socerbergh isn’t returning, he told Variety back in 2023 that he had said all he needed to say on the matter.
“After we made the third movie, I felt like the series was very much concluded for me. When the studio approached me to see if I’d be involved in continuing the franchise, I told them no, because it just doesn’t feel like a move forward for me. I’m chasing something else.”
