literally though guys this is the most I’ve ever gotten to talk about the ocean’s movies other than that time I was like 15 and my friends and I had a movie night where we all got to choose one and ofc I chose Ocean’s 11 and proceeded to annoy everyone for 2 hours with ocean’s trivia because you bet your ass I’d watched the cast commentary version
example DID YOU KNOW that Brad Pitt never had enough time on set to eat properly which is why Rusty is eating in basically every scene?? It’s so perfect because it worked as such a great little character quirk but also it kept Brad Pitt alive
you know that shrimp cocktail he’s sucking down when Linus is giving him the lowdown on Terry and Tess walks down the stairs? Dude ended up eating 40 shrimps filming that scene. 40 SHRIMPS TO GET THE TAKE.
also ALSO in the scene with the wrestling match for Friday Fight Night you can see cast from the original Ocean’s Eleven filmed in 1960
dude who played Yen??? brilliant, right?? never acted before. barely understood english. KILLED IT.
MATT DAMON IN ANOTHER LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT CRIMINAL his pick pocketing was too good to actually be watched which is why they slowed it down the first time they show him doing it
it HAS been calculated that to pull off the heist, in real life, would cost more than the amount of money they manage to steal BUT WE DON’T TALK ABOUT THAT
there’s lots of scenes where the actors just kinda do their own thing cuz Soderbergh was like “I am not directing 11 of you all at once just go nuts”
The movie is blessed with the success of Austin Powers - Rusty’s doctor wig is a wig once used by Mike Meyers during auditions. The actual, same wig.
Also, Rusty’s whole dramatic shtick as the doctor was Brad making fun of George Clooney’s role in the show ER
AND there was a scene where they’re pretending to be the SWAT guys and Brad Pitt couldn’t be there for some reason so they just had someone else stand there in a SWAT uniform and recorded Rusty’s lines later
