Rumored Project

George Clooney told reporters at the New York Film Festival that Ocean’s 14 is finally moving forward. He spoke with E! News while promoting his new movie Jay Kelly. Clooney said the studio approved the budget and the team is now working on a shooting schedule.

“We just got the budget approved at Warner Brothers,” Clooney explained. “We are trying to set a start date. Probably start in about nine or ten months, shooting.” This statement gives fans a concrete Ocean’s 14 release date clue. An approved budget means the studio believes the heist sequel will attract big audiences.

Because the budget is set, the producers can lock in locations, crew, and equipment. The timeline also helps the cast coordinate their busy schedules. Clooney added that the team hopes to begin filming within the next year.

Brad Pitt was in talks to star in the project and the film was scheduled to shoot this year, but the director is stepping away.

Quentin Tarantino is going back to the drawing board for what will be his 10th and final film. Tarantino is stepping away from “The Movie Critic” as his 10th feature and will no longer be making it, IndieWire has confirmed.

The news is a major shock, as the project had Brad Pitt in talks for the lead role and even rumors that Sony was circling the project to release it after previously releasing his prior film, 2019’s “Once Upon a Time In Hollywood.” The film even secured a California tax credit to shoot in Los Angeles and was meant to begin shooting earlier this year, but was delayed due to Tarantino reportedly rewriting his script.

Brad Pitt has continued the latest phase in his career by signing on as the lead in Quentin Tarantino’s next—and, reportedly, final—movie, The Movie Critic, following some fevered speculation over the role. Pitt is reportedly set to portray the character of Jim Sheldon, a fictional film critic, with strong speculation suggesting that this character may draw inspiration from William Margold, an actual film critic. Tarantino, in his book “Cinema Speculation,” referred to Margold as the “first-string film critic for the sex rag the Hollywood Press”. The film mark’s Pitt’s third collaboration with Tarantino, following acclaimed turns in Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, but hasn’t acted since 2022, when he appeared in the truncate of Bullet Train, Babylon and The Lost City. He will next be seen alongside George Clooney in the Jon Watts thriller, Wolfs.
