There are several films we never want to see get made at hecklerspray HQ – The Simple Life: The Motion Picture and Hot & Horny With Sharon Osbourne being just two of them.
But there is one film that fills us with horror at its very mention, a film that we never expected to ever get made – and that film is Ocean’s Thirteen. Because, you know, the world needs three big long rubbish smug films about George Clooney and Brad Pitt‘s big smug faces, don’t we?
Apparently we do – Ocean’s Thirteen is set to roll into production this year. Oh joy.
According to Ocean’s Thirteen producer Jerry Weintraub, he’s
currently working on an Ocean’s Thirteen plot with George Clooney (DVDs) and director Steven
Soderbergh – who we both thought had moved on a bit, with David Levein and Brian Koppelman being brought in
script it.
The 2001 remake of Ocean’s Eleven – starring George Clooney, Brad
Pitt, Matt Damon and that man who couldn’t do a British accent if you
held a gun to his head – was a fairly sizable success when it was first
released. Audiences loved the snappy patter, the sharp suits and the
shiny backgrounds, and Ocean’s Eleven ended up taking around $450
million worldwide.
Then in 2004, some fool decided that Ocean’s Twelve would be a good
idea. It wasn’t – the film was an unbearably smug mess which took
almost $100 million less than the first film. If there’s the same
drop-off in quality between Ocean’s Twelve and Ocean’s Thirteen as
there was between Ocean’s Eleven and Ocean’s Twelve, we can expect to
watch two and a half hours of George Clooney listlessly trying to put up some flat
pack furniture and laughing emptily about doing all those Korean booze adverts.
Ocean’s Thirteen will most likely go into production later this year.

Oh, come on man! George Clooney and Brad Pitt were awesome in Ocean’s Eleven, which I loved, and I’m seeing Ocean’s Twelve on Friday (5 days from now) on TV for the first time, and I’m sure it will be great. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for Ocean’s Thirteen and think that George Clooney is the best thing to hit Hollywood since network television!

“Ocean’s 13”! are you flipping kidding me? this is horrifying. ocean’s eleven was awesome, ocean’s twelve reached brilliant new heights of SUCKING, and now they are actually doing a third! this is just shameless. i’ll see ocean’s 13 after i’m tied to a chair and my eyelids are taped open.
