Julia Roberts is picking herself up off the floor after a major box office and critical disaster with After The Hunt \u2013 and a source tells the National Enquirer that she\u2019s turned to old powerhouse pals George Clooney<\/a> and Brad Pitt to revive her career, who have already cast her in their long-awaited next Ocean\u2019s sequel.<\/p>\n

\u201cJulia stands by her work in After the Hunt, but the response to the movie has been underwhelming across the board,\u201d the source explains. \u201cJulia and her team are reeling from the negative reactions they\u2019ve gotten for the film, which was specifically built for Julia to get back in the Oscar race in a big way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because the movie wasn\u2019t as successful as initially planned \u2014 After the Hunt earned just $7.1 million worldwide on a $70 million to $80 million production budget, per Deadline<\/a> \u2014 Roberts, 58, \u201cis intent on sticking with what works, and for her, that\u2019s her decades-long collaborations with Brad and George.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf their generation has a \u2018holy trinity,\u2019 it\u2019s Brad, George and Julia, and she\u2019s already pledged to join them again in the next Ocean\u2019s movie they\u2019re putting together,\u201d the source continues. \u201cOf course, Julia\u2019s last serious hit was the rom-com Ticket To Paradise, which did way better at the box office than both she and George ever predicted.\u201d<\/p>\n

The source describes the next Oceans film as \u201ccinematic comfort food,\u201d and says that the objective is \u201cto make a global hit.\u201d However, that\u2019s not the only reason the Pretty Woman star has reached out to Clooney, 64, and Pitt, 61<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe other dynamic going on here is strictly personal,\u201d the source adds. \u201cJulia doesn\u2019t trust a lot of people, but she does trust George and Brad, and they don\u2019t hold back when it comes to praising her, deferring to her, and treating her like true Hollywood royalty.\u201d<\/p>\n

The source concludes, \u201cWhen your ego gets bruised the way it did for Julia with After the Hunt, you have to look for those people who can straighten out your self esteem. When Julia needs an ego boost, she gravitates to these two men she has known for decades, and they do not disappoint in that department. She loves having an excuse to be around them, on or off a movie set.\u201d<\/p>\n
