[GothicPowerMix1]

Al Pacino will star in director Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's 13, targeted for a June 8, 2007 release, reports Variety.

Pacino joins the cast -- headed by George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle and Bernie Mac -- and their franchise's new leading lady, Ellen Barkin.

Jerry Weintraub is producing the film, which has a July 21 start date. Shooting is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

Rounders screenwriters Brian Koppelman and David Levien wrote the script.

Details of the plot are being kept under wraps, but Warner Bros. revealed that Pacino will be playing Willie Banks, the owner of a high-profile casino and hotel in Las Vegas.

I like it...gettin' back to the original Ocean's 11 by goin' back to Vegas.

 

[The Amazing Lee]

I want new ideas.

Not sequels!

 

[Milkman95]

Not even CLOSE to a bomb. This is huge casting - I'm indeed interested now, Pacino rules, especially as a Casino owner in Vegas.

Ocean's 12 is a better film than Ocean's 11.

 

[Milkman95]

Pacino is going to own in this. Think of Heat and multiply it times two......

[Matt]

Hmm...I hope he is a mafia casino owner. That would be awesome to see Ocean's team piss off the mafia.

Also, how are they writing out Tess?

[Cinemaman]

Ocean's 11 was really good move, I liked it.
Ocean's 12 was big disappointment for me, it was bad bad and again bad movie.
Ocean's 13? I don't think it will be even better than Ocean's 12.

THe second Ocean's movie was lacking in the wit department. It wasn't even as cool as the first one.

I just that 13 will wise up..

[Prognosticator]

I can't wait to watch Al Pacino scene stealing from cardboard Clooney!
