George Clooney revealed in an interview that there is a "great script" for another Ocean's movie, hinting at the possibility of a new installment in the beloved heist film franchise. Clooney mentioned that the script is similar to the 1979 heist comedy Going in Style and expressed excitement about the potential project. The previous Ocean's films, directed by Steven Soderbergh, featured a core cast including Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon. A spin-off film, Ocean's 8, was released in 2018, and last summer it was announced that Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling would star in a new Ocean's movie set in Europe during the 1960s. Clooney also hinted that Robbie and Gosling would be playing his character's parents in the film.
George Clooney hints at a potential Ocean's Eleven sequel, revealing that there is a "really good script" in the works. He also shares his thoughts on Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling playing his parents in the upcoming prequel to the 2001 film. The prequel, which aims to expand the Ocean's universe, is highly anticipated, with producer Josey McNamara expressing excitement about Robbie and Gosling's collaboration. Clooney starred in the original trilogy alongside a star-studded cast, and a spinoff film titled Ocean's 8 was released in 2018.
George Clooney responds to the news that Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling will play his character Danny Ocean's parents in an Ocean's Eleven prequel. Clooney jokingly says it makes sense and that he's always thought Robbie would make a great mother. The prequel, which reunites Robbie and Gosling from their previous film Barbie, has little information available, but Clooney expresses excitement about the project. The original Ocean's Eleven was a 2001 remake starring Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Julia Roberts, and the franchise was revived in 2018 with the all-female spin-off Ocean's Eight.
Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, who recently starred together in the successful "Barbie" movie, are set to team up again for the upcoming "Ocean's Eleven" prequel. The film, produced by Robbie's LuckyChap Entertainment, will be directed by Jay Roach and is set in 1960s Monte Carlo. The producer expressed confidence in the duo's ability to do justice to the franchise, and hopes for more collaborations between them in the future. "Ocean's Eleven" originally premiered in 2001 and spawned three sequels, including the female-led spinoff "Ocean's Eight." Robbie and Gosling's on-screen chemistry in "Barbie" was well-received, and the film became a box office hit, grossing over $1 billion.
Reboots can sometimes surpass the originals, as seen in the success of movies like X-Men: First Class, which revived the failing franchise, Star Trek, which attracted a wider audience, Top Gun: Maverick, which brings back the old-school action, The Mummy, which turned a horror film into a classic adventure, and Ocean's Eleven, which became iconic and spawned sequels and spinoffs.
Payday 3, the sequel to Payday 2, is a heist game that aims to emulate the precision and synchronicity of Ocean's Eleven. The game features a new stealth system that encourages players to de-escalate during the casing phase and avoid instant firefights. The maps are highly detailed and offer dense opportunities for replayability. The game's new stealth system may be a challenge for players accustomed to the shoot-first action of previous games.
