UPDATE:
Soderbergh: More Star Pay Cuts for 'Ocean's Twelve'
3 February 2003
Director Steven Soderbergh has confirmed that an Ocean's Eleven sequel will go ahead - but is determined to make his A-list stars take a pay cut. In the original 2001 remake Ocean's Eleven, Hollywood hot property like George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt all took salary cuts in order to get the film made - and Soderbergh insists salary negotiations for the tentatively titled Ocean's Twelve will be even harsher than before. He says, "When we were coming back from doing press in December 2001, I asked everybody if the idea of a sequel appealed and they were cool. But they had to make a promise: that is, we're gonna be the first sequel in history that costs exactly the same as the first one. And since the scale of the sequel's gonna be even bigger, they're all gonna have to take an even bigger pay cut than last time." And the Traffic Oscar winner sees himself as the man to reverse a film tradition that stipulates more extravagant second movies. He adds, "I think somebody needs to do this - stop the idea that the second one has to be more expensive."
UPDATE:
Production is scheduled to start in February, 2004 in Rome, Italy on a budget of $85 million, which is the same budget as the first movie. Other locations after Rome will include Berlin and London. Director and producer Steven Soderbergh has been quoted as saying he is aiming to make a "bigger movie" on the same budget, in an attempt to dispel the notion that sequels are always more expensive.
UPDATE:
Cassel Joins 'Ocean' Cast
8 September 2003
French movie hunk Vincent Cassel is to join the cast of Ocean's Eleven for the upcoming sequel. The Irreversible star, who is married to movie stunner Monica Belucci, will team up with George Clooney, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts among others in the planned sequel. The follow-up has been made possible by the generosity of the superstar cast, who have all agreed to massive pay cuts to star in Ocean's Twelve, according to producer Jerry Weintraub. Filming on the project is scheduled to start early next year.
