Plot introduction

[Edit this paragraph]

Three years ago, Danny Orson (played by George Clooney), together with the resourceful trader Ross Lane (played by Brad Pitt), the young pickpocket Linus Caldwell (played by Matt Damon), the absent-minded blasting expert Bai Hui (played by don cheadle) and the master locksmith Frank Caton, committed the most daring and expensive theft in history.

After the theft group led by Danny Olson divided the huge sum of10.60 billion US dollars equally, they parted ways, and from then on, "rivers and lakes forget each other". But things didn't go according to people's wishes, and trouble came to you again, which made Danny's absolutely beautiful wife Tess (Julia Roberts) feel very nervous.

It turned out that a member who had participated in the operation committed the number one taboo and tipped off the casino owner Benedict, so he was determined to retaliate against Danny Olson and his associates, and vowed to get back his1.600 million dollars, plus interest, otherwise Danny Olson and his gang would not survive and had to wait for death.

In order to get a large ransom within 14 days, they will make three big deals in three European cities, namely Amsterdam, Paris and Rome. In Amsterdam, they will steal the world's first stock. In Paris, their goal is the Mona Lisa, one of the "three treasures of the Louvre", while in Rome, it is a huge diamond.

As soon as they move, the European police keep an eye on them. Coincidentally, Ross's ex-girlfriend Isabel (Catherine Zeta-Jones) was appointed as the agent in charge of this case. At the same time, Fran? ois (Vincent Cassel), a European expert nicknamed "Night Fox", is also determined to compete with them. ...

As can be seen from the title, this is the sequel to the movie Ocean's Eleven. On May 38, 2006+0 65438+February, the eighth film production company co-founded by George Clooney and director steven soderbergh released their pioneering work Ocean's Eleven. George Clooney and steven soderbergh succeeded in persuading julia roberts, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Andi Garcia to join the film at a very low salary by virtue of their good popularity in the circle. In the end, this star-studded movie created a box office miracle of $450 million at a cost of $85 million, which once again proved the invincible ability of Hollywood star columns to attract gold. Three years later, George Clooney and steven soderbergh once again took the lead to continue the legend of Lohan.

In fact, George Clooney and steven soderbergh had no intention of making a sequel. Clooney said that the idea of filming Twelve Arhats originated in Italy. "When we filmed Ocean's Eleven, we never thought about making a sequel. That idea was gradually formed. " He said, "At that time, Soderberg, I and several members of the crew of" Ocean's Eleven "held a press conference in Rome. Stephen has never been to Italy before, which left a very deep impression on him. We were sitting in the restaurant, and he suddenly said that he had the idea of making a sequel and could take all of us to Italy to shoot. " Clooney himself said that he was not interested in the trend of making sequels. He said: "sequels often re-fry the things in the first episode, because writers and directors always want to use the pleasing elements in the first episode again." But Soderberg's idea convinced Clooney that he would "mix different things together and put the characters in completely different situations." Clooney insists that the character itself is the most attractive element of a movie. "In Ocean's Eleven, what really involved the audience was not the scene of casino robbery, but the friendship between gang members."

Compared with the first episode, this movie can not only bring many big names together again, but also attract the attention of another superstar actor, Catherine Zeta-Jones. Jerry Wayne Traber, the producer of this film, proudly said, "We have two of the most beautiful actresses in the world. It has always been my dream that Catherine Zeta-Jones can join this film, and now this dream has finally come true. " Jerry Wayne Traber also said, "I think this is my highest achievement (referring to the joining of Catherine Zeta-Jones). I've always wanted to work with her. It happens that there is such a suitable role in the movie, and it is really difficult to find an Oscar winner like Catherine Zeta-Jones to play. "

As a sequel to the movie Ocean's Eleven, the film moved the background of the film from Las Vegas, the last prosperous casino, to beautiful Europe. In order to cooperate with the plot, the film crew traveled to seven locations, including Chicago, Amsterdam, Paris, Monte Carlo, Rome, Lake Camo and Sicily, Italy, so that the audience could fully appreciate the beautiful scenery of Europe. In addition, unlike many masters in Ocean's Eleven, in the sequel, you ocean's people hit a wall everywhere, and your actions are full of bumps and setbacks. Soderberg said: "This sequel is different from the first episode. In the first episode, the audience enjoyed watching them play the casino owner around, but in the sequel, they hit a wall everywhere and bad luck followed them everywhere.

The thief's warehouse in the film was shot in a food market in Rome that was closed for 1 year.

The museum in the film was set up in the studio for shooting.

Soderberg insisted that the shooting budget of this film should be the same as that of 1 1 for Lohan.

Bruce Willis, who starred in this film, was the choice to play Danny Orson in 1 1 Lohan. Later, I quit because of the shooting time conflict.

Catch a Thief is a play written by george nolfi, originally written for John Woo.

During the filming in the Netherlands, several trains were delayed. Because the Thalys high-speed train used in the film accidentally scratched the locomotive cable, some trains were cut off, and it took the railway department two hours to repair the fault.

Before filming, Matt Damon asked to modify the script to make his role a small role, because he had just finished filming 2》(Bourne ultimate 2 and was exhausted from playing the leading role. Soderberg refused Damon's request because his role as Linus was important to the integrity of the plot, but Soderberg managed to reduce Damon's playing time.

Peter Fonda played Linus' father in the film, but he didn't appear in the final version.

The dry clothes in the film are specially made for this film and are done by hand. The husband and wife shop in Staffordshire has to work day and night to be completed in two weeks.

In the early stage of script writing, Clint Eastwood was thought to be a guest star of Linus' father in the film.

The white van in the film really belongs to a real security company.

The necklace Brad Pitt wore in the movie is a replica of his wedding ring with Jennifer Aniston.

Behind the scenes production:

200 1 1 February, the "Section 8" film production company jointly established by George Clooney and director steven soderbergh released their pioneering work1/lohan. Clooney and Soderberg succeeded in persuading Hollywood A-list stars such as julia roberts, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Andi Garcia to join the film at a very low salary. In the end, this star-studded movie created a global box office miracle of $450 million at a cost of $85 million, which surprised even the famous producer Jerry Weintraub. He said: "I have high expectations for this film, but I am still surprised by such an amazing box office." Of course, the success of the film is inevitable, because we have an all-star cast, great directors, great scripts and fascinating stories. I think one of the reasons why people go to the movies is to escape. They will buy popcorn and coke, sit down and have a good time, and "1 1 arhat" is just that. "

According to Weintraub, the sequel was first mentioned at the conference of 1 1 Lohan held in Rome. However, it is really hard to predict the reunion of such a star-studded lineup, and I am afraid I can only resign myself to fate. Later, at a dinner party, Soderberg said that he hoped the story would take place in Rome. He said, "Before coming to Rome, I never thought about making a sequel. I fell in love with this city, so I began to think about the story and structure and planned to start the story in Europe. " Andi Garcia recalled: "It was Steven's first visit to Rome. I saw his eyes shining. Rome inspired him to start talking about sequels and start writing there. "

Back in Los Angeles, Weintraub found george nolfi's play "Honor among Thieves", which tells the adventure story that the American thief king was burned to death by the European thief king, which is very close to the idea of the sequel. He gave the script to George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Soderberg, all of whom were very optimistic about it. The biggest challenge was to divide their play into collective performances.

Nolfi and Soderberg began to brainstorm, and then Nolfi said, "It is no exaggeration to say that our ideas can write five scripts. The script is progressing rapidly because we can use a lot of materials. "

As far as the cast is concerned, Weintraub has created a miracle. 12 thieves in this film still gather in the original class. No wonder Brad Pitt praised Weintraub as the Pope of Las Vegas. Julia roberts, who didn't play the thief before, didn't give up acting because she was pregnant in this episode, but became the 12 trump card of this thief gang. In addition, the joining of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Vincent Cassel also adds a lot of color to the film.

The shooting lasted 77 days, including Chicago, Amsterdam, Paris, Monte Carlo, Lake Como, Rome and Castellamare del Golfo in Sicily. During their stay in Rome, Brad Pitt and George Clooney braved the light rain and ran back to the hotel instead of taking the bus. However, when two soaked big stars entered the hotel, they were stopped by the security guard because they were suspected to be vagrants, and were not allowed to enter until the onlookers recognized them. When shooting in the Netherlands, frequent local rainfall disrupted the shooting plan and even damaged the shooting equipment. There is also a scene in the film that took place at Amsterdam Railway Station, but in fact the crew was shot at Harlem Railway Station, 20 kilometers away from Amsterdam Railway Station.

The crew also had trouble shooting in Sicily, because 19 local Sicilian mafia members were near the shooting location, and the police arrested them on suspicion that they were trying to blackmail. Many media immediately reported this and publicized the extortion of the mafia. To this end, the producer issued a special statement denying any mafia or extortion, and the stars in the film were not threatened.
