Tagline: Twelve is the New Eleven.
In this sequel to the blockbuster hit Ocean’s Eleven, rival cat burglars who are masters of their craft team up to outfox the beautiful FBI agent one of them is in love with.
It’s been three years since Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and his crew – fronted by detail man Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt), up-and-coming pickpocket Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon), explosives expert Basher Tarr (Don Cheadle) and safecracker Frank Catton (Bernie Mac) – pulled off one of the most audacious and lucrative heists in history, robbing ruthless entrepreneur Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia) of every dime stored in his impenetrable Las Vegas vault. After splitting the $160 million take, each of the infamous Ocean’s crew have tried to go straight, lay low and live a legit life…but that’s proven to be a challenge, much to the chagrin of Danny’s wife Tess (Julia Roberts).
When someone breaks Rule Number One and rats them out to Benedict, going straight is no longer an option. He wants his $160 million back – with interest – or else. And, as the gang quickly discovers, Benedict isn’t the only powerful person in the world looking for Ocean’s Eleven… When Steven Soderbergh’s star-studded remake of the classic Rat Pack film Ocean’s Eleven was released in December 2001, its worldwide success exceeded even the great expectations of renowned producer Jerry Weintraub.
Ocean’s Twelve is a 2004 American comedy heist film, the first sequel to 2001’s Ocean’s Eleven. Like its predecessor, which was a remake of the 1960 heist film Ocean’s 11, the film was directed by Steven Soderbergh and used an ensemble cast. It was released in the United States on December 10, 2004. A third film, Ocean’s Thirteen, was released on June 8, 2007, in the United States—thus forming the Ocean’s Trilogy. The film stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Andy García, Julia Roberts, Don Cheadle, and Bernie Mac. It was the tenth-highest-grossing film of 2004.
The film was shot in 2004 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, St. Petersburg, Florida and in Las Vegas at the Bellagio Hotel. Filming also took place in Chicago, Amsterdam, Paris, Monte Carlo, Lake Como (at George Clooney’s Villa in Laglio), Rome and Castellammare del Golfo in Sicily. The production spent three weeks in the Netherlands; scenes were filmed in the KattenKabinet, the Hotel Pulitzer, Haarlem railway station, and The Hague City Hall. In Paris, scenes were shot at the Sorbonne, the Australian Embassy, and the Gare du Nord. Afterwards, filming moved to Italy. The Casino Monte Carlo and the Villa Erba also served as filming locations.
