George Clooney, known for his role as Danny Ocean in the Ocean's 11 series, has hinted at the possibility of making another movie with the "really good script" in place. Plans for future installments were put on hold after series star Bernie Mac passed away, but now it seems like there is potential for the main crew to reunite for another heist film. Clooney expressed his excitement for the script, indicating that another Ocean's movie may be in the works.
When asked if the next movie would be called Ocean's 14, Clooney replied, "I don't want to use that title." Instead, he suggested that the movie would be similar to the plot of Going In Style, which revolves around a group of elderly individuals executing a heist.
Clooney was referring to the 1979 film Going In Style, featuring George Burns and Art Carney. Burns was 79 years old when he starred in the movie, and Clooney humorously noted, "We're not as old as that yet."
Zac Braff directed a remake of Going In Style in 2017, featuring Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Alan Arkin. Steven Soderbergh, director of Ocean's 11, has expressed interest in another installment of the series, suggesting that plans for a new film may be in the works.
The 1960 movie Ocean's 11, featuring Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dean Martin, was followed by a reboot in 2001 starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, and others. This was followed by sequels Ocean's 12 and Ocean's 13. Ocean's 8, released in 2018, told the story of Danny Ocean's sister Debbie, played by Sandra Bullock, with a star-studded cast including Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, and others.
It hasn't been confirmed yet whether another entry in the mainline series is coming, but what has been confirmed is that a prequel starring Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie as Danny Ocean's parents is in the works.
Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of the Ocean's series, I am thrilled by the news of a potential new movie. The Ocean's movies are known for their star-studded casts, intricate heists, and witty banter, and I can't wait to see what the next installment has in store. I'm particularly excited about the idea of a heist led by veteran robbers, as it would bring a new dynamic to the series. I also appreciate George Clooney's enthusiasm for the project and his commitment to making it a success.
However, I have mixed feelings about the possibility of the movie being titled Ocean's 14. While it would be a natural progression from the previous movies, I think it would be more fitting to give it a unique title that reflects the new story and characters. I also hope that the movie will find a way to pay tribute to Bernie Mac, who was a beloved member of the original cast. Overall, I am cautiously optimistic about the potential for another Ocean's movie and can't wait to see what the future holds for this iconic franchise.
