Ocean’s 14 Is Happening: George Clooney Teases A-List Reunion — Will Sandra Bullock Join Pitt, Damon and Roberts?

George Clooney says the next Ocean's caper is a go. Budget approved, schedules being wrangled, and if all goes to plan, cameras roll within a year. And yes, he wants the old crew back. Let’s unpack what he actually said, what it means, and where this could go (including the Sandra Bullock question everyone’s already asking).

So, is Ocean's 14 actually happening?

Clooney told E! News at the New York Film Festival that Warner Bros. has signed off on the money and the only holdup now is scheduling. In Hollywood-speak, that’s about as real as it gets before you start seeing set photos.

'We just got the budget approved at Warner Brothers, and we’re trying to set up — it’s just scheduling, so it’s just setting a start date for us. Probably start in about nine or ten months, shooting.'

Translation: expect a late-2025-ish shoot if calendars line up.

Who’s coming back?

Clooney didn’t tiptoe around it. He name-checked Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, and Julia Roberts, and mentioned he literally had dinner with Roberts the night before. The vibe is: they’re all still tight, they want to work together, and if the dates work, the gang’s (mostly) back. That’s not a signed deal, but it’s a very loud hint.

What about Sandra Bullock?

This is the big fan ask: could Ocean’s 8 link up with the original crew so we finally get Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock in the same Ocean’s movie? Nothing official there. But the speculation is loud for a reason — it actually makes sense.

If you want the cleanest crossover: Tess (Roberts) reaches out to Debbie (Bullock) when a new, aggressive, very-2025-style villain outpaces the OG crew’s usual tricks. Debbie parachutes in for a targeted assist, not a full-time lead — more special-guest star than co-headliner — and then a cheeky post-credits beat tees up her helping big bro plan one last heist. That scratches the crossover itch without turning this into Ocean’s 9.5.

The tone: less laser grids, more one-last-job

Clooney has already said the new story skews 'Going in Style' — as in, older, sharper, and a touch sentimental without losing the swagger. Think a reunion with purpose rather than another casino tech-fest. He also noted he doesn’t even want to call it Ocean’s 14 (good luck stopping the internet), but he says there’s a great script on the table. If you’re reading between the lines: a tight, character-forward caper with room for nostalgia and a couple fresh wrinkles.
