You might have thought that since George Clooney suddenly became the Oscar-winning, all-powerful Hollywood political commentator, the old smug George Clooney had disappeared for good.
But that isn’t the case – Ocean’s Thirteen is going to start filming on July 21. And, unless it’ll be filmed in black and white and all about how George Clooney and Brad Pitt try and stop oil drilling in Alaska, we’d hazard a guess that smug George Clooney will be making his big comeback in Ocean’s Thirteen, surrounded by smug Brad Pitt and smug Matt Damon. Sadly, it looks like smug Julia Roberts is going to be sitting this one out, though.
It had long been threatened that, despite Ocean’s Twelve (DVDs) sucking more arse than an industrial liposuction machine, Ocean’s Thirteen would start being made this year. And now all the Ocean’s Thirteen speculation has finally been firmed into terrifying fact.
George Clooney has made space in his schedule to team up once again
with director Steven Soderbergh for Ocean’s Thirteen, while Brad Pitt has promised to stop not marrying Angelina Jolie for the shoot, Matt Damon has postponed whatever it is that Matt Damon actually does, and Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Casey, Affleck, Scott Caan, Eddie Jemison, Shaobo Qin, Carl Reiner and Elliott Gould are all just grateful for the work, probably.
Two faces that won’t be seen in Ocean’s Thirteen are those of Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta Jones – presumably to take care of their twins and elderly husband respectively. They have been replaced by Ellen Barkin, thought to be playing Damon’s love interest. Ocean’s Thirteen filming will take place in a fully operational casino built across five soundstages on the Warner
Bros. lot in Burbank.
Ocean’s Thirteen will be released in the summer of 2007. That’s plenty of time to brace yourself for the return of the worst British accent in the history of cinema.

The Cloon lost me when he spent last week fighting Huffington over words he actually did say. I did get his point, but he’s valiantly trying too hard to remain in light.
George Clooney says
hi, i have an announcement to make and before i do i am surprised you people are talking about the film already, however, i am sad to say that the film making will be post-poned to october 2006 as our director is trying to set the film in a winterful enviroment. Julia will be starring in the film but for only a brief period. By the way ravebyron i did say ‘those things’ and i would rather you actually sat and thought about them taking them into account must be a big step for you and people like you (non-famous, non-popular) need to get a grip of yourselves and realise that us celebrities are superior to your kind. thank you gracefully for taking the time to read my comment.
english bitch says
