George Clooney is set to be back in action with the Ocean Eleven gang again, and this might be one of the most anticipated films.
In an interview with E! News, Clooney confirmed that his co-stars from the original heist series — Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Don Cheadle — are all on board for the sequel.
“We just got the budget approved at Warner Bros., and we’re trying to set up,” he shared.
The 64-year-old actor further said, “It’s just scheduling, so it’s just setting a start date for us. Ocean’s 14 will probably start in about nine or 10 months, shooting," he added.
During the same interview, when asked about working together again with Bradd Pitt, Julie and others, George said, “Yeah, Brad, Matt and Don and Julia. I had dinner last night with Julia. They’re all still really dear friends. And so, the chance to work together would be fun.”
Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. starred in the 2001 remake of the 1960 classic Ocean's Eleven, which marked the start of the original Ocean's franchise. Ocean's Twelve (2004) and Ocean's Thirteen (2007) came after this.

Clooney played mastermind thief Danny Ocean, Pitt played Rusty Ryan, Damon played Linus Caldwell, and Cheadle played Basher Tarr in all three of the Steven Soderbergh-directed movies. In the first two films, Julia Roberts played Danny's romantic interest, Tess Ocean.
After the trilogy, the spin-off Ocean’s 8 was released in 2018, featuring Sandra Bullock as Danny’s sister Debbie, alongside a star-studded cast including Cate Blanchett, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Mindy Kaling, and Anne Hathaway.
Apart from returning to the Ocean’s franchise, George Clooney is set to appear in the upcoming film Jay Kelly, which is scheduled to hit theaters on November 14 this year.
