Clooney Praises Louvre Heist, Confirms Ocean's Fourteen Script

At the Jay Kelly premiere, George Clooney reacted to the reportedly seven-minute Louvre jewelry heist, calling it “cool” but “terrible,” and joking that as Danny Ocean he was “very proud of those guys” while saying he watched the footage and wondered whether the thieves will be caught. He quipped the robbery could be worked into the long-gestating Ocean's Fourteen, confirmed the Ocean's Fourteen script is finished and said production is now a scheduling matter. Clooney also noted the franchise is expanding with a prequel in development starring Margot Robbie and Bradley Cooper, and said he will not have creative input on that project. The theft reportedly netted roughly €88 million (more than $100 million), including pieces from the Apollon gallery, and has prompted scrutiny of museum security as investigations continue.
