George Clooney has offered a brief update about “Ocean’s 14” which is in the works at Warner Bros. Pictures.
While out promoting “Jay Kelly” on the fest circuit back in October, Clooney revealed the project just had its budget approved at the studio, and scheduling was being lined up to start shooting mid-summer 2026.
Now, in a new interview with Variety, he reveals that the main inspiration for the new film will be the 1979 dramedy “Going in Style” about three aging men who set out to rob a bank.
He says the plan here isn’t for a nostalgia play, but rather exploring the idea of doing a heist “when you’re no longer young and spry”. He explains:
“There was something about the idea that 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. They’ve lost a step, and they need to find a way to work around their limitations.”
Clooney is currently 64 years old and last starred in an “Ocean’s” film nearly twenty years ago. Several stars are back from previous outings including Matt Damon as Linus Caldwell, Brad Pitt as Rusty Ryan, Julia Roberts as Tess Ocean, Don Cheadle as Basher Tarr and Andy Garcia as Terry Benedict.
No director is yet confirmed.
