David Leitch In Talks For “Ocean’s Fourteen”?

A new report has indicated that “Bullet Train,” “Deadpool 2” and “The Fall Guy” director David Leitch is in talks to direct “Ocean’s Fourteen,” a new film in the franchise set up at Warner Bros. Pictures.

The Insneider broke the news, indicating that George Clooney and Brad Pitt are coming back for the new film after the pair recently reunited on screen for “Wolfs” last year.

Clooney suggested a return a few months back, saying a “great script” was in place with an idea akin to Martin Brest’s 1979 comedy “Going In Style” about aging bank robbers. His Smokehouse label intends to produce the new “Ocean’s” film.

Steven Soderbergh directed the three previous “Ocean’s” films and in late 2023 indicated he has “been there and done that” with the franchise, so he has no plans to return.

“Conclave” and “All Quiet on the Western Front” director Edward Berger was also rumored in the past, but that doesn’t seem to have panned out. A previously announced prequel film directed by Jay Roach and starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling has also been rumored in the past, but talk of that also seems to have cooled.

There’s the obvious question of how much of the original ensemble will be back, with co-stars Matt Damon and Casey Affleck the most logical to return for the David Leitch-directed “Ocean’s Fourteen”.

The four films to date, including spin-off “Ocean’s 8,” have received mixed to favourable critical reception and substantial commercial success over the years – taking in $1.422 billion in box office from combined budgets of $350 million.
