Julia Roberts Praises 'Ocean's 14' Script as Warner Bros.-Backed Sequel Targets 2026 Start

Scheduling the returning A‑list ensemble remains the chief hurdle despite budget approval.

Overview

  • At the Golden Globes, Roberts said she has read the screenplay and was “surprised” by how good it is.
  • She described coordinating calendars as the sticking point and noted Brad Pitt’s workload makes his timing trickiest, while stressing he is not causing a delay.
  • George Clooney previously said Warner Bros. approved the budget and indicated filming would probably begin roughly nine to ten months after his October update.
  • Original stars Clooney, Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle and Roberts are expected to return, with Clooney framing the new story around an older crew adapting to limitations.
  • No release date has been announced, and trade reporting says David Leitch is in talks to direct and some outlets credit Carrie Solomon with the script, neither officially confirmed.
