Clooney points Ocean's 14 at London shoot as Albies honour justice workers
George Clooney expects Ocean's 14 to start shooting in about 11 months, with most of the filming in London and the U.K. and some work in France.
He gave the update to The Hollywood Reporter at the fifth Albies ceremony, held at London's Museum of Natural History on 9 October 2026. The Albies is the annual awards event organised by The Clooney Foundation for Justice, which Clooney co-founded with his wife, Amal Clooney.
The foundation set up the Albies to put a protective spotlight on people and groups working for justice around the world. This year's honourees reflect that brief. They include Kyrgyz journalists Bolot Temirov and Makhabat Tazhibek Kyzy, cited for their reporting work.
They also include Malawian girls' rights advocate Vanessa Mwangala and United States wartime photojournalist Lynsey Addario. The remaining honourees are Congolese human rights organisation Justice Plus and Microsoft vice chair Brad Smith.
The prize itself is named after Justice Albie Sachs, a hero of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. The name sets the tone. It is an award about courage in law and public life, not film.
The Ocean's update was the film news of the night. Clooney did not announce a release date or a full cast. The London base makes practical sense for a large ensemble production, with studio space close at hand and a short move to France for location work.
For fans, this means a longer wait and a familiar crew growing older on screen. Clooney previously hinted that Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon would return for Ocean's 14, according to KING 5. He later joked to Entertainment Weekly that the heist team is now "too old to do what we used to do".
What makes this stand out is the pairing. One night honoured journalists, advocates and a human rights group. The same night moved a major studio heist film a step closer to cameras.
