One of our most prominent heist-related voices has broken his silence on the shocking theft at the Louvre this past weekend. His review? Good for them. \u201cIf you\u2019re a professional thief like I am, I was very proud of those guys,\u201d George Clooney joked to Variety<\/a> at AFI Fest on Thursday. While in real life, the acclaimed actor hasn\u2019t pulled off any high-stakes capers of his own (at least as far as we know), he\u2019s successfully swindled millions from a handful of casinos as heist leader Danny Ocean in the Ocean\u2019s franchise. The recent crime may have inspired him to take his crew overseas, however. \u201cI think we should rob the Louvre,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Clooney did call the heist<\/a>, which saw four as-of-yet unidentified suspects make off with over $100 million worth of historic jewelry in broad daylight, \u201cterrible.\u201d He also wondered \u201cif they\u2019re going to catch these guys,\u201d conceding that \u201cthey seem to have done a pretty good job at getting away with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, any fans who want to see Clooney and co. repeat the robbers\u2019 feat may have to wait for the next sequel. The script for the long-gestating Ocean\u2019s Fourteen is \u201cdone and we\u2019re in great shape,\u201d the actor said. \u201cIt\u2019s just scheduling now.\u201d Clooney previously told E! News<\/a> that the film\u2014the first new Ocean\u2019s installment since 2018 spin-off Ocean\u2019s 8\u2014will \u201cprobably<\/a>\u201d begin filming next year. While Clooney\u2019s original Ocean\u2019s trilogy\u2014itself a reboot of the 1960 Rat Pack film\u2014was the brainchild of director Steven Soderbergh, the new installment will reportedly be helmed by The Fall Guy and Bullet Train\u2018s David Leitch. It\u2019s unclear as of this writing if Soderbergh will have any involvement. The actor did suggest to E! News that Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, and Don Cheadle would be reprising their roles, however.<\/p>\n

The Louvre heist could also conceivably find its way into the currently in-development Ocean\u2019s prequel starring Margot Robbie and Bradley Cooper<\/a>. Twisters\u2018 Lee Isaac Chung<\/a> is reportedly directing that one, from a script by Carrie Solomon (A Family Affair). The untitled film is set to begin shooting next year\u2014presumably barring any more major thefts that inspire some rewrites. <\/p>\n
