‘Ocean’s 12′ in the works

NEW YORK (Variety) — Director Steven Soderbergh and actor George Clooney are eyeing a March 2004 start date for “Ocean’s Twelve,” a sequel to the hit 2001 Las Vegas crime caper.

Warner Bros. is looking to lock down Brad Pitt, while other “Ocean’s Eleven” regulars may return along with new additions. A holiday 2004 release date is being eyed.

The catalyst for its move toward the starting gate came when WB asked “Timeline” screenwriter George Nolfi to rewrite his “Honor Among Thieves” screenplay with an “Ocean’s Eleven” bent. The studio originally bought “Honor Among Thieves” two years ago as a potential directing vehicle for John Woo, but the project stalled.

Tapping a pre-existing script for a sequel is not unprecedented. It happened on “Die Hard With a Vengeance,” a film that was stuck until Fox tapped a script it owned called “Simon Says.”

“Ocean’s Twelve” could be the next jobs for both Soderbergh and Clooney, who are also production partners. They both vowed to take time off after doing several movies back to back, including the Soderbergh-directed “Solaris,” which starred Clooney, and Clooney’s directing debut, “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.”

I think that this is a horrible idea. What will they be stealing? And why? Is tess going to be the “12th”? I think the shouldnt have even made the first one, it is the best and they need to leave good classical movies alone instead of fucking with them.

Yep, a part will be filmed in Amsterdam. And… a part of it in one of our international trains (exciting) But they will not use Amsterdam Central Station (’cause filming is forbidden there) but Haarlem Central Station. But they will pretend that it’s Amsterdam… hmm..

Next to Brad Pitt Julia Roberts will be in it

MAYBE SPOILERS HERE

ive been reading, apparently, the crew are trying to steal, a rembrant painting, a document from the first company ever to exist in the world (the deutch east india trading corp. or something like that) the documant is worth heaps because its really valable and stuff, anyway its in a house with a guy who does leave because hes affraid of open spaces, the thrid object they will be stealing is apparently a golden egg presented to a europeans royal family to celebrate a marriage, it was made in like 1806 or something… it was made by the greatest goldsmith of all time and over the past 100 years 108 people have tried to steal it, none have succeded, word has it that PITTS character is after it…
i forget who the 12th person is, but that is why its oceans 12 because there is 12 theives this time. the majority of the film takes place is Holland, and kathrin zita jones is in it.
the filming that took place in american is to show what happened to everyone after O.11 finished, and how they come back together…

If you think they shouldn’t do re-makes, you better start writing some fresh scripts then.

Oceans 11, Italian Job and Thomas Crown Affair are all exellent re-makes.

better wait til 2005 when the re-make of Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory directed by Tim Burton comes out then.

willy wonka remake? fuck that…and who said Italian Job was good, thats the stupidest movie alive…I love Ocean’s Eleven, psyched for 12, but at least some of you need to have some perception of good movies. Italian Job was horrible… how can u even say it is good?
Personally, I’m psyched for 12, cuz the first was amazing, they got THE WHOLE crew back for 12, and they took a while before resurfacign it so they coudl work on the script and make it as good as the first. DOn’t bitch out remakes, bitch out shitty remakes.
