George Clooney and Brad Pitt are going to co-star in an untitled film, which will be directed by Spider-Man’s director Jon Watts. The duo charmed their fans by appearing in the Ocean’s Trilogy. The first film from the series, Ocean’s Eleven, saw the pair, along with other characters, plan a heist to steal money from the three popular Las Vegas casinos. Clooney and Pitt have been longtime friends as well.
