Pacino is going to join the "Ocean's" sequel Pacino Joins "Ocean's" Crew
Tue Apr 25, 8:00 AM Al Pacino's going gangster again. The Oscar-winning actor is set to join George Clooney and the rest of the gang for Ocean's Thirteen, the latest installment in the continuing criminal escapades of Danny Ocean and his company of crooks. News: All aboard (mostly) for Ocean's Thirteen News: Pacino, Eastwood got game News: Pacino, D'Angelo's twin settlement E! Online No word on the plot, but the next heist will apparently eschew the glamorous European locales of Ocean's Twelve and return to the glitz of Las Vegas. A Warner Bros. spokeswoman said Pacino will dive into the part of Willie Banks, the owner of a high-profile Sin City hotel and casino. No doubt the latest comic caper will provide the 66-year-old thesp--famed for his roles in The Godfather trilogy, Dog Day Afternoon and Scarface, among other film classics--yet another opportunity to ham it up on the big screen. Most of the usual suspects are aboard, including Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Casey Affleck and Scott Caan. Julia Roberts, currently starring in the Broadway drama Three Days of Rain, is the only principal from the first two films not expected to return for round three, though producer Jerry Weintraub and director Steven Soderbergh haven't ruled her out entirely. They've previously said that depends how the script shakes out up by the writing duo of Brian Koppelman and David Levien (Rounders). Roberts herself has publicly said that there's a slim chance she might be back. Ocean's Thirteen will reunite Pacino with his Sea of Love costar Ellen Barkin, who has been cast as Ocean's new leading lady. Pacino was last in theaters opposite Matthew McCanaughey in last year's little-seen sports-gambling flick Two for the Money. He's got several projects in the pipeline, among them: appearing in the videogame version of Scarface; starring as a college professor moonlighting as a forensic psychiatrist for the FBI in the thriller 88 Minutes; and starring in two flicks for Sea of Love director Harold Becker, playing a career thief in Rififi and a 1920s bootlegger in Torch. Pacino is currently appearing in the Los Angeles stage production of Oscar Wilde's Salome, which runs through May 14 and which he will adapt into a film. He will have a few weeks off before joining the rest of the Ocean's Thirteen when cameras roll on July 21. The sequel is slated for a summer 2007 berth. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

I think its a shame the great Pacino doing a movie like this
he can do better than acting in some over-rated crappy sequel - imo if sexy was a colour it would be red | |

I love Al Pacino. He's one of my favourite actors, but this is disappointing. Ocean's 11 was ok, but Ocean's 12 was terrible. Just a bunch of overpaid actors doing nothing. Perhaps Al will bring something good to Ocean's 13, but I do have my doubts. | |

My point exactly! Let's just hope Al looks hot (cause he is for an old guy ) and maybe he will bring some excitement to the movie too. | |

Can't say I'm thrilled he's getting attached to a film like "Ocean's 13", but Pacino is a wonderful actor.
"Dog Day Afternoon" is one of my favorite films of all time. ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA! | |

I went through a big Pacino phase some years back and tried to see every film of his that I could. Besides being a great actor, the thing about Al that I like is he is willing to try such disparate roles and stretch his acting horizons -- sometimes that works for him, and sometimes it doesn't ***coughcoughRevolutioncoughcough***. | |

Well, we all have our bad moments Dog Day is a GREAT movie! How about John Cazale? He was such a wonderful actor and died so very young (he was even engaged to Meryl Streep at the time of his death) - but look at the few moives he made - incredible: The Deer Hunter (1978) .... Stanley 'Stosh' Dog Day Afternoon (1975) .... Sal The Godfather: Part II (1974) .... Fredo Corleone The Conversation (1974) .... Stan The Godfather (1972) .... Fredo Corleone The American Way (1962) .... Beatnik VOTE....EARLY | |

I hated Oceans 11, didn't bother with 12 & will never see another one again And you KNOW a movie is bad if even Andy Garcia can't lure me in the theater!! Doesn't Soderbergh feel dirty after these flicks?? The only thing that makes me happy here is that the wonderful & fabulous Ellen Barkin is gonna get some much needed screentime She's awesome | |

It wasn't interesting to me. If Al wasn't going to be in this 3rd one, i'd probably wouldn't have been interested as well. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

At age 42, died of bone cancer. It amazes me that his short filmography is more quality films that most actors have in their whole lifetime careers. | |

That guy is so fucking overrated, he only made one decent movie ("The Limey" and maybe "Sex, Lies, And Videotape" can't remember since I just seen it once at the theatre when I was 12, I liked it back then so it's probably shit like all that other pretentious and overrated crap he made...) Neversin. O(+>NIИ<+)O

Neversin. Yea, The Limey was EXCELLENT I wonder what made him go down this path? Was it THAT great working w/ Julia Roberts on Erin Brockovich?? Sex, Lies was interesting. It still holds up I think | |

I thought "Out Of Sight" was just lame (but that's a given with someone as talentless as Jeniffer Lopez and boring as George Clooney, the guy is always the same in every single movie he does...) And "Traffic" was just a pretentious overbearing piece of shit, the only good thing about it was Benicio Del Toro, but then again he's way too good for crappy movies like that... Neversin.
