Ocean’s 14: George Clooney and Brad Pitt’s Potential New Heist Flick

Edward Berger Courted to Helm Fourth Installment of Mainline Ocean’s Franchise

According to Deadline, George Clooney and Brad Pitt are eager to reunite for another Ocean’s adventure, with Edward Berger, the director of All Quiet on the Western Front, being courted to helm Ocean’s 14. This would be the first Ocean’s film without Steven Soderbergh at the helm.

Script Written, But No Official Confirmation Yet

Last Christmas, during an interview with Uproxx to promote his sports drama The Boys in the Boat, Clooney revealed that a new Ocean’s movie has already been written. “We have a really good script for another Ocean’s now,” the franchise lead said, “so we may end up doing another one.” He also referenced the 2017 old-timer heist flick Going In Style as a point of comparison for what an Ocean’s 14 could wind up looking like.

Casting and Release Timeline Unknown

While nothing is set in stone just yet for Ocean’s 14, no casting confirmations beyond Clooney and Pitt’s expected returns, no release timeframe, and no actual official confirmation of the movie’s existence beyond Clooney’s comments on the script. Sources are telling Deadline that a formal offer isn’t even on the table just yet for Berger to hop in Soderbergh’s directorial hotseat. However, with Berger’s latest, Papal conspiracy thriller Conclave, generating serious awards season buzz, if Clooney and Pitt can convince the in-demand director to take on their long-awaited sequel, it’d be a hell of a coup.

Smoke and Fire Signals a Potential Heist Flick

Whilst nothing is set in stone just yet for Ocean’s 14, it’s clear that there’s still a big appetite for more movies with two of Hollywood’s elder statesmen front and centre. The praise being lavished upon Clooney and Pitt right now for their chemistry and unwavering movie star charisma in Jon Watts’ blackly comic crime caper Wolfs suggests that fans are eager for more. For now, all we can say for certain is that if a Berger Ocean’s 14 does materialise, you’ll have to orchestrate the mother of all heists to snag a ticket for that red carpet. It’ll have more stars than the Arches Cluster!

Conclusion

While the future of Ocean’s 14 is uncertain, the prospect of Edward Berger at the helm and George Clooney and Brad Pitt reuniting for another heist flick is an exciting one. As the project develops, we’ll be keeping a close eye on any further updates.
