Love Ocean's 11, and I agree that 12 is better after repeat viewings. Looking forward to a 13... and no Julia Roberts gets a from me.

I will wait untill Hollywood is done with Oceans 18 and watch them all in one sitting.

I'll see it eventually. I liked Oceans 11 a lot and wasn't a big fan of 12 but I'm probably going to give it another chance.

As long as the 11 guys are back this should be entertaining at the very least.

Naturally I'll be there on opening weekend.

My go-to Soderbergh-Clooney "caper" movie will always be the unheralded Out of Sight. Sure, there is a little apples and oranges here, but I love that movie, and I view the original Ocean's as a lighter (and weaker) version of Out of Sight. Clooney and J-Lo (her best flick, imo) really clicked - and chemistry was sorely lacking between Clooney and Roberts in 11. Haven't seen 12 yet, but maybe this next one will get the formula right (sans Roberts).

So will I.

Im pissed that this is going to push back Matt Damon's next Bourne movie....

I wouldn't worry too much - Greengrass let the cat out of the bag that he is coming back and I thought he said they would be filming before the end of the year.

Blllllaaaahhhhhhhhh.

I wonder how Russell and Johnson feel about their original eleven turning thirteen going on seventeen.

Angelina Jolie to possibly join the cast:

If Julia's not there (wasn't she the "12th" thanks to her help in the scam?), then the team is back to 11. Looks to me like they need TWO new members this time.

Yes, because the original Ocean's 11 was just a great movie...

Al Pacino Joins Ocean's 13 Gang
Source: Variety April 25, 2006

Al Pacino will star in director Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's 13, targeted for a June 8, 2007 release, reports Variety.

Pacino joins the cast -- headed by George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle and Bernie Mac -- and their franchise's new leading lady, Ellen Barkin.

Jerry Weintraub is producing the film, which has a July 21 start date. Shooting is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

Rounders screenwriters Brian Koppelman and David Levien wrote the script.

Details of the plot are being kept under wraps, but Warner Bros. revealed that Pacino will be playing Willie Banks, the owner of a high-profile casino and hotel in Las Vegas.

The news of Pacino joining the cast gets a from me.

Count me in as one of the few who liked 12. I'm easily there opening weekend fop 13.

Awesome!

No Bruce Willis return? NO SALE

I loved how he was completely unable to keep a straight face during Oceans 12.

Ditto.

how will they write off Julia and Catherine

Who would Bruce Willis play? Another thief... who just happens to also look like Bruce Willis?

Sounds great except for Ellen Barkin as the leading lady Isn;t she like 50+?

actually 52 (imdb)

Pacino may make this worth watching.

Based on the strength of Ocean's Twelve alone, I'm in for the next three movies.

That's right, I liked it. A lot. Here's hoping Vince Cassel comes back somehow.

He could play a cat burglar who just wants a nice cappuccino (and maybe play some Nintendo).

Very much agree with the above. Ocean's 12 felt like a vanity movie so the stars could play in Europe and get paid for it. Hated it, despite the fact that I loved the first one and that it had Catherine Zeta Jones in it.

The way they went with Twelve, if they keep going on with these movies, eventually there will be a scene where one of the characters will need to be taken to the ER where's he treated by Dr. Doug Ross, where they'll end up being consultants for an "Ocean's 11" movie and either Michael Keaton or Val Kilmer will be up for the role of Ocean, where they'll try to rob the casino from the TV show Las Vegas and Scott Caan will run into James Caan, or Casey Affleck's character will take time out to call his younger high school brother and give him sex advice.
