George Clooney says that his and Brad Pitt’s new movie, Wolfs, “feels like an R-rated Ocean’s film.”
Speaking with Total Film Magazine, Clooney shared some new details about Wolfs, the upcoming action-thriller he’s starring in alongside Pitt.
“He’s a sad, sad guy. He’s angry. He’s getting old. He’s turning 60 in a couple of weeks. It’s all downhill for him after that,” Clooney shared about his character. “Uh… It’s a really good movie. I love this guy, Jon Watts. What a director. It’s out there. We just did a screening of it, and the place kind of went batshit for it. So, we’re excited about it. We think it’s a really fun, dark – very dark – nutty film… It feels like an R-rated Ocean’s film.”
What do we know about George Clooney and Brad Pitt’s Wolfs?
While not much is known about the plot at this time, Wolfs will see Clooney and Pitt both play professional “fixers” who find themselves hired for the same job. The movie additionally stars Amy Ryan, Austin Abrams, and Poorna Jagannathan.
Wolfs was announced in September 2021, with production beginning in January 2023 but then being suspended later that year because of the SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) strike.
In addition to helming directing duties, Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home) also wrote the script for Wolfs. He also produces the movie alongside Clooney, Pitt, Grant Heslov, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Dianne McGunigle.
Clooney and Pitt both starred in all three of Steven Soderberg’s Ocean’s movies, which include 2001’s Ocean’s Eleven, 2004’s Ocean’s Twelve, and 2007’s Ocean’s Thirteen. They additionally both had sizable roles in 2008’s Burn After Reading, which was directed by Joel and Ethan Coen.
Wolfs releases in United States theaters on September 20, 2024, from Sony Pictures.
