(C) 2001 - Warner Bros. Ocean's 11 fans have something to look forward to, as Warner Bros. is reportedly working on a prequel to the classic film. According to TheWrap, director Lee Isaac Chung, who directed Twisters, will work on the project. Aside from Chung, TheWrap reported Margot Robbie will produce the film through her production company, Lucky Chap. The plotline has yet to be confirmed, but Ocean's Eleven was one of the most popular films of 2001 - the year it came out. Since the release of the first movie, the Oceans franchise has expanded to Ocean's Twelve, Ocean's Thirteen and Ocean's Eight. According to Deadline, the screenplay was written by Carrie Solomon and used characters created by George Clayton Johnson & Jack Golden Russell. Is Hollywood done with originality at this point?- Sagar Mishra (@Sagarmishra121) July 31, 2025 While much of the project remains under wraps, social media users are skeptical about whether or not the movie is needed. "Hollywood is done with originality at this point," one user wrote. "For me, tying it to a franchise banner is a net negative. Nothing against Oceans at all - but surely a con men/heist film taking place in the 60s in Europe (as previously reported) is better presented as an original concept? It's not like even the OG Brat Pack Oceans was the first con men team up film. Why does everything have to be presented as a prequel, sequel, or remake? Serious question," another chimed in.
