George Clooney and Brad Pitt offer $20 million to Sandra Bullock for ‘Ocean’s Fourteen’

Clooney and Pitt are reportedly offering Sandra Bullock $20 million to return for ‘Ocean’s Fourteen.’

Brad Pitt and George Clooney are reportedly working hard to persuade Sandra Bullock to return for the upcoming 'Ocean’s Fourteen'.

According to In Touch, the two A-list actors are hoping to convince their longtime friend to reprise her role as Debbie Ocean in the next installment of the hit heist movie franchise.

In Touch sources reveal that Pitt and Clooney have been “schmoozing” Bullock, offering her a tempting $20 million payday to secure her participation.

Bullock, now 60, originally played Debbie Ocean, the sister of Danny Ocean (Clooney's character), in 'Ocean’s Eight' (2018). Pitt and Clooney, both in their 60s, are well-established figures in the franchise, having appeared together in 'Ocean’s Eleven' (2001), 'Ocean’s Twelve' (2004), and 'Ocean’s Thirteen' (2007). Now, they are eager to bring Bullock back for what insiders are describing as a new chapter in the series.

This push for 'Ocean’s Fourteen' marks a significant shift, as Pitt and Clooney were reportedly ready to step away from the franchise. Two years ago, the actors planned to pass the torch to a new generation of stars, including Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. However, the success of 'Barbie' and the increasing A-list commitments for Robbie and Gosling led Clooney to take the initiative, revitalizing the project with a fresh plot and an impressive new cast.

As part of the new direction, the duo is focusing on honoring the legacy of series veterans Bernie Mac and Carl Reiner, while also accounting for the retirement of guest star Bruce Willis. Pitt and Clooney are reportedly aiming to reunite other original 'Ocean’s' cast members, including Julia Roberts, Don Cheadle, and Casey Affleck. Sources close to the project emphasize that Bullock’s involvement is key to its success.

Despite announcing a break from acting in 2022, Bullock has continued to maintain strong relationships with Pitt, having previously worked with him on 'The Lost City' and 'Bullet Train'. Insiders suggest that Bullock is eager to return to studio films but is balancing multiple offers, including a role in the upcoming 'Practical Magic' sequel.

Reports suggest Pitt and Clooney are determined to make 'Ocean’s Fourteen' happen, aiming for a Christmas 2025 release.
