Ocean's prequel to be helmed by Twisters director Lee Isaac Chung
Lee Isaac Chung is to direct an Ocean's prequel. The 46-year-old filmmaker - who recently helmed Twisters - is attached to direct a prequel to the 2001 crime flick Ocean's Eleven for Warner Bros., Deadline has said. While the project is said to be in early development and plot details are being kept under wraps, the screenplay is being written by A Family Affair scribe Carrie Solomon. The Ocean's prequel - which will be based on characters created by George Clayton Johnson and Jack Golden Russell - will be produced by Warner Bros. and Margot Robbie under her LuckyChap Entertainment banner. The actress was previously said to have been also attached to star in the Ocean's prequel alongside her Barbie castmate Ryan Gosling, though current reports indicate no one has officially been cast in the movie yet. While story details are unknown, it was reported the Ocean's prequel would be set in 1960's Europe and would feature Robbie and Gosling as the parents of Danny (George Clooney) and Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock). Austin Powers filmmaker Jay Roach had initially been attached to direct the movie, but Chung's involvement in the project indicates that is no longer the case. The first Ocean's 11 released in 1960, and starred five members of the Rat Pack - Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop - as they tried to pull off the ultimate heist in Las Vegas. In 2001, the franchise was rebooted by director Steven Soderbergh, and starred George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt. Ocean's Eleven follows the charismatic thief Danny Ocean (Clooney) as he assembles a team of specialists to pull off an audacious heist: robbing three of Las Vegas's biggest casinos in a single night. As the elaborate plan unfolds, slick deception and personal stakes collide in a stylish game of risk and reward. The film was followed by the sequels Ocean's Twelve in 2004 and Ocean's Thirteen in 2007. Then in 2018, the series was continued with the all-female Ocean's 8, which starred Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna and Helena Bonham Carter. In Ocean's 8, Danny Ocean's sister Debbie (Bullock) recruits a team of skilled women to execute a daring heist at New York's Met Gala. Their target: a $150 million Cartier necklace, and the perfect plan to walk away with it undetected. As well as the Ocean's Eleven prequel, another sequel is potentially also in the works, which would reportedly bring back Clooney's Danny Ocean, Pitt's Rusty Ryan and several other stars from the original team. In 2023, Clooney teased the project and told Uproxx: 'We have a really good script for another Ocean's now, so we may end up doing another one. It's actually a great script.' When asked whether the possible project was intended to become Ocean's Fourteen, the Wolfs star said: 'Well, I don't want to call it that … I mean, the idea is kind of like Going in Style.'

Keith Urban Awkward Radio Moment Over Nicole Kidman Question
In the past 24 hours, you may have seen some chatter about an awkward moment between Keith Urban and some radio hosts. For context, on Tuesday, Keith appeared on an Australian radio show called Hayley & Max in the Morning, where the hosts, Max Burford and Hayley Pearson, invited him to play a game where they ask their guests a 'very tricky' and 'deeply personal' question. As I'm sure you know, Keith is married to fellow Aussie icon, Nicole Kidman, and so, Max took it upon himself to ask a question about his wife's career in Hollywood. 'When I was coming up with something to ask you, Keith Urban, if you're happy to play this game, the first thing I thought of, with your beautiful wife Nicole Kidman being on so many great movies, TV shows all the time, I watched a movie with her and Zac Efron recently, A Family Affair,' he began. In case you're not familiar, A Family Affair came out last year and starred Nicole as a widowed writer who starts dating her daughter's young, famous boss, played by Zac. Being the supportive husband that he is, Keith politely praised the movie before the host's question took a more intimate turn. Max continued: 'What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron having these beautiful love scenes on TV and radio?' But before Keith answered, an awkward pause indicated that the line had gone dead, and he was no longer on the call. 'He's disconnected from Zoom,' a voice can be heard saying in the clip. 'I think his team hung up on us because they didn't want us to ask that question,' they added. 'That's 100% what's just happened,' Hayley said, as she and her co-host enquired as to whether they were previously told by Keith's team 'not to ask' that specific question. 'No,' the other voice said, as the trio expressed their confusion live on air.'He's gone! He doesn't like the personal stuff,' Hayley said. 'Oh, I knew that would happen. We've upset him.' Before long, outlets like Rolling Stone, TMZ, and Variety published stories about the awkward on-air moment. And now, with the narrative circulating that it was Keith who pulled the plug on the interview, a source has spoken out to try to set the record straight. 'Keith did not hang up, period,' an insider told People, clarifying that he is 'very easygoing' and did not personally take issue with the question about Nicole. 'He doesn't host his Zoom interviews. This is a complete nothingburger.' Notably, Nicole has previously said that Keith is totally unbothered by her doing sex scenes in her films and shows. 'My husband is an artist, so he understands all of it, and he also does not get involved,' she told E! News in 2021. 'He sees the show at the very end when it's a show, all edited together, and he's fresh eyes. He doesn't read any script, he really doesn't know what's going on on the set, he's got his own career that he's completely absorbed in.' Well, there you have it! Keith has not personally addressed the debacle, but we'll be sure to let you know if he ever does.

Keith Urban SNAPS & Leaves Interview Over Nicole Kidman's Bold Roles
Keith Urban abruptly exited a live radio interview after being asked about wife Nicole Kidman's intimate scenes with younger co-stars like Zac Efron in her latest film A Family Affair. The moment occurred during Hayley & Max in the Morning on Adelaide's Mix 102.3. Host Max Burford asked how Urban felt watching Nicole in romantic roles, but right after the question, Keith's Zoom connection mysteriously dropped. The show's hosts suspect the interview was cut short because they crossed into personal territory. Neither Urban nor his team has responded. Nicole and Keith, married since 2006 with two children, were recently seen together at the ACM Awards and the FIFA Club World Cup. Nicole has also spoken in the past about nearly quitting acting after becoming a mother. Read More

'Keith doesn't hate us': Adelaide radio hosts reveal what really happened after X-rated Nicole Kidman question cut their interview with Keith Urban short
Adelaide-based radio hosts Hayley Pearson and Max Burford have lifted the lid on their excruitiating Keith Urban interview. The moment unfolded on Tuesday when the 57-year-old Aussie music star appeared on Mix 102.3's Hayley & Max breakfast show via Zoom to promote his upcoming High and Alive world tour, which kicks off July 17 in Denver and includes a stop in Adelaide on August 28. Urban appeared relaxed and cheerful during the chat, even expressing his excitement about returning to perform for his Aussie fans. But the conversation derailed when the duo asked him to participate in the program's recurring segment, Wall of Truth. "When I was coming up with something to ask you, Keith Urban, if you're happy to play this game, the first thing I thought of is your beautiful wife, Nicole Kidman, being in so many great movies and TV shows all the time," Max said. "I watched a movie with her and Zac Efron recently, A Family Affair, and I thought, 'What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron, having these beautiful love scenes on TV?'" Following an awkward silence, Max asked: "Oh no, why has this happened? What's just happened here?" "I think he just hung up on us," Hayley responded. Their producer quickly chimed in: "He's disconnected. I think his team hung up on us because they didn't want us to ask that question." However, on Wednesday morning Hayley and Max finally cleared the air with their listeners, revealing that Keith Urban didn't cut the call short after all. To get to the bottom of what really happened, the duo brought in Mix 102.3 FM's content director Stephen Werner, who set the record straight. After praising them for what he called a "great interview" Stephen explained that the call ended simply because they ran out of time with the 'Somebody Like You' singer. "The producers were getting texts, and you guys were having such a great time that you ran out of time," he said. "I don't even know if he (Keith) heard the question." Hayley jumped in: "So are you saying he didn't hang up on us?" "He didn't hang up on you," Stephen confirmed. "He went to another interview." Hayley continued to probe. "Hang on, so are you telling us this has made international news, and it's not even a story because he didn't hang up on us? "Are you saying that Keith doesn't hate us?" "Well, I haven't spoken to him, but I don't think Keith hates anybody, really. He seems like a pretty nice guy," Stephen replied. "So it's just the entire internet that hates us, not Keith," Max said. Urban and Kidman first met at the G'Day USA Gala in January 2005 and tied the knot in June 2006. Now parents to two daughters, Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 14, the couple recently celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary, which Kidman marked with a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. "Happy Anniversary Baby," the Babygirl star wrote alongside a tender black-and-white photo of the pair cuddled up over Urban's guitar.
