George Clooney Confirms ‘Ocean’s Fourteen’: Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts & the Original Crew Reunite for an Aging Heist Thriller
Remember when Ocean’s Eleven hit theaters in 2001 and we were all just a little bit in love with that perfect heist thriller? Well, buckle up because George Clooney just dropped some incredibly exciting news: the legendary crew is reuniting and this time, they’re bringing their AARP cards to the casino.
Yes, you did. Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle, Matt Damon and Julia Roberts are all set to return for a brand new Ocean’s film, and here’s the kicker – they’re examining what happens when a group of world-class thieves realize they can’t move as fast as they used to. It’s Ocean’s Eleven meets Going in Style, and honestly, we love it.
The Concept That’s Stealing Our Hearts
In a conversation with Deadline, Clooney explained the delightfully simple but funny premise of this new undertaking: “There’s something about being like ‘we’re too old to do what we used to do, but we’re still smart enough to know how to get away with something,’ that just appeals to me.” And isn’t that just Clooney perfect? Turning the certain end of time into comedy gold.
Think Danny Ocean planning a heist, but now he’s got bad knees. Picture Rusty Ryan casing a joint while his back reminds him of that skydiving stunt from 1999. The entire gang is “off their game,” so to speak, as Clooney describes it, but they’re making up for it with years of experience and wisdom that youth can’t buy. That’s the narrative we’re receiving, and it’s actually refreshing.
The Dream Team Is Back
What makes this announcement “feel like Christmas” is the fact that the entire cast is returning. George Clooney will return as the suave orchestrator of the whole thing Danny Ocean. Brad Pitt is back as Rusty Ryan, the right-hand man, he has worked with Clooney time and again since 2001. Matt Damon reprises his role as Linus Caldwell, the quick-fingered pickpocket with a heart of gold. Julia Roberts—who thoroughly stole the show as Tess Ocean—returns, and Don Cheadle, the ingenious bomb technician Basher Tarr, rounds out this magnificent reunion.
Clooney noted that during dinner with Julia Roberts that they are all still extremely close and the chemistry between these actors was effortlessly. After 20+ years later, they are just as eager to work together again. Honestly, that is the kind of friendship goals we should all be aiming for.
When Are We Getting This?
This is where you need to your patience. Production is scheduled to begin in October 2026, with a search for locations now in progress. David Leitch, who also previously worked with Pitt on Bullet Train, is set to direct, and Clooney himself is penning the screenplay. The budget has been greenlit by Warner Bros., so this isn’t just hoping for the best—this is happening.

Ocean’s Fourteen is an increasingly rare thing in Hollywood: a series that is happy to grow old with its stars.
