David Leitch, the director of John Wick, Bullet Train, Deadpool 2, and The Fall Guy, is in early talks to direct Ocean’s 14 for Warner Bros.
Steven Soderbergh directed the first three films in the franchise and there’s no word on if he will be involved with this next film, but I imagine he’ll at least get a producer credit.
I loved the first three Oceans films and while I would’ve liked to see Soderbergh return to direct, it will be interesting to see what Leitch does with the franchise if he actually ends up jumping on board.
Leitch worked with Oceans star Brad Pitt on Bullet Train, so it makes me wonder if that’s where conversations about this whole thing sparked.
According to Deadline, the intention is to bring the original cast back and tell a whole new heist story. It will be fun to revisit these characters!
When previously talking about the possibility of Ocean’s 14 Matt Damon shared that he’s been ready for it ever since he wrapped on Ocean’s 13:
“That’s been my standing position since we wrapped Ocean’s 13, since the day we wrapped it, I’m ready to work on Ocean’s 14.
“It’s, it’s always been about how would it look, you know, we’ve lost two members of our gang, you know, Bernie [Mac] and Carl [Reiner] and, uh, and so what, what would that move you look like?
“And so that would be up to a great screenwriter to figure out and, and, you know, but the guys, we’re, we’re all still in touch with each other.
“We have great friendships that came out of that movie and, and, you know, we we’d certainly always be game to return I think.”
What do you think about Leitch possibly coming on board to direct Oceans 14.
