David Leitch in Talks to Direct Ocean's 14

David Leitch, known for his work on films like Bullet Train and John Wick, is in early talks to direct Ocean's 14, the next installment in the Ocean's franchise produced by George Clooney's Smokehouse Pictures. This will be the first film in the series not directed by Steven Soderbergh, who helmed the original trilogy. Clooney is expected to reprise his role as Danny Ocean, alongside Brad Pitt, who may return as Rusty Ryan, marking a reunion of key cast members. The film aims to bring back the original ensemble and introduce a new heist story, although specific plot details remain under wraps. Fans and actors from the previous films, including Matt Damon, have expressed enthusiasm for returning to the franchise, noting the enduring friendships formed during the original films. Leitch's connection with Pitt from their collaboration on Bullet Train may have sparked discussions about this new project.
