Clooney gathers cast for Ocean's Twelve

George Clooney has persuaded the cast of his 2001 hit film Ocean’s Eleven to return for Ocean’s Twelve, which he calls “the sequel to a remake”.

The original 1960 Ocean’s Eleven, which starred Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack, was remade by Clooney and his actor-producer partner Steven Soderbergh, with a cast that included Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Julia Roberts.
