Fans of the Ocean’s franchise have two upcoming movies to look forward to from Warner Bros. Not only are George Clooney, Matt Damon and other actors from the original trilogy getting back together for the long-awaited Ocean’s 14, there’s also that Ocean’s prequel that Margot Robbie is starring in and producing. Unfortunately, that latter project just suffered a big setback, but that also came with a positive update.
Let’s start with the bad news first: Deadline reports that Lee Isaac Chung will no longer direct the Ocean’s prequel. The Minari filmmaker’s exit was described by a Warner Bros. spokesperson as a “an amicable split due to creative differences,” and the studio’s experience working with “has only deepened our enthusiasm to collaborate on future projects together.” The search for a new director is now underway, but it’s hard to say when we’ll learn who will take over from the Oscar-nominated Chung.
