George Clooney and Adam Sandler are to star in a new Netflix movie.
The 62-year-old actor and the 'Uncut Gems' star will appear on screen together for the first time in a currently untitled film from Noah Baumbach, who will direct the project from a script he co-wrote with Emily Mortimer.
According to Deadline, plot details are largely unknown but the movie will be a funny and emotional coming-of-age film about adults.
The 'Barbie' co-writer will also produce alongside Amy Pascal and David Heyman.
Meanwhile, George recently teased a new 'Oceans' movie could be in the pipeline, 16 years after he last played Danny Ocean in 'Ocean's 13'.
The 'Boys in the Boat' filmmaker – who led a star-studded ensemble cast that also featured Brad Pitt and Matt Damon – told Uproxx: "We have a really good script for another 'Ocean's' now, so we could end up doing another one. It's actually a great script."
Asked if the new movie would be titled 'Ocean's Fourteen', Clooney replied: "Well... I don't want to call it that... I mean, the idea is kind of like 'Going in Style'."
The 'Ocean's' franchise is already expanding with a prequel film that features 'Barbie' stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Danny Ocean's parents – a move that has been given the seal of approval by the 'Ticket To Paradise' actor.
George said: "Yeah! Margot Robbie is my mother? I've always thought that.
"Ryan Gosling is my father. Now, when you think about it, it makes sense. Truly."
Producer Josey McNamara previously insisted that Margot and Ryan will "do right by" the franchise – which originated from the 1960 Rat Pack flick 'Ocean's 11' – and expressed his excitement at the duo sharing a screen again.
He told Games Radar: "They're wonderful together. The more projects even outside of that we can have them do would be amazing.
"I can't really say much, but I think we're just trying to do right by the franchise. I'm excited for people to experience it when it's ready."
