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.
