The wisecracking safecrackers of "Ocean’s Thirteen" return this week for some unfinished business. Most of the cast from the 2001 "Ocean’s Eleven" remake and "Ocean’s Twelve" arrive today for the first of two Las Vegas shoots. In town for film scenes at McCarran International Airport and Bellagio are George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Andy Garcia, Carl Reiner and new addition Ellen Barkin. Missing from the lineup will be Julia Roberts, Clooney’s love interest in the first two movies, and "Ocean’s Twelve" co-star Catherine Zeta-Jones, who played an investigator out to nab them in Europe.
Producer Jerry Weintraub has hired Bernie Yuman, longtime manager of Siegfried & Roy, to represent the film for the Las Vegas shoot. Yuman said that he met Weintraub more than a decade ago when Weintraub invited Siegfried & Roy to participate in "Vegas Vacation." "We made the deal (on ‘Ocean’s Thirteen’) and we’ve talked almost every day since," Yuman said.

I guess Julia Roberts is too busy food shopping to do this movie.

George Clooney and producing partner Steven Soderbergh have decided to close down their Section Eight production company, which they founded six years ago. The Syriana star will officially part ways with Soderbergh on August 1 to launch Smoke House, a production company he is forming with his Good Night, And Good Luck collaborator Grant Heslov. Section Eight will continue to produce Clooney’s upcoming movies, including Ocean’s Thirteen and The Good German, both directed by Soderbergh. Soderbergh has said he would like to focus more on film-making and less on the film development and producing process.

I love Clooney, but man are his movies boring as all hell. And with Soderberg he is even more boring.
