Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon will star in “Ocean’s 13,” the third flick in their franchise about a gang of lovable crooks, distributor Warner Bros. announced Monday.
A supporting-actor Oscar winner for the oil-industry thriller “Syriana,” Clooney will reprise his role as leader of the pack Danny Ocean, with the group pulling off a new heist in Las Vegas.
Clooney’s producing partner Steven Soderbergh, who made the 2001 hit “Ocean’s Eleven” and its 2004 sequel “Ocean’s Twelve,” will direct again.
Julia Roberts, Clooney’s love interest in the first two movies, and “Ocean’s Twelve” co-star Catherine Zeta-Jones will not be back for the third movie, according to Warner Bros.
The studio expects the rest of the cast, including Don Cheadle, Andy Garcia, Bernie Mac, Carl Reiner and Elliott Gould, will return. Joining the cast will be Ellen Barkin.
