Ocean Breeze For Zeta-Jones

Welsh beauty is set to star in Ocean's Eleven sequel

Golden Globe and Oscar winning actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has joined Julia Roberts in the cast of Ocean's Twelve, the sequel to the hugely popular remake of the 60's rat-pack movie, Ocean's Eleven.

According to the movie's producer Jerry Weintraub, the casting of Jones has been a dream come true.

"I think this is my crowning achievement." said Weintraub.

"I've been wanting to work with her and we had this wonderful role for a woman and it's hard to find someone of that stature, an Oscar winner.

"Now I have two of the most beautiful women in the world in this picture," he added.

The cast of the original movie famously took huge pay cuts in order to star in the movie, which went on to massive box-office success both in the States and the UK.

Filming is set to start in April and takes place in a whole host of cities, including Chicago, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

Weintraub, who produced the 2001 hit Ocean's Eleven, said the movie will likely be released in December.

"Steven Soderbergh is the best and fastest director in the world."

Zeta-Jones will join the cast that also includes George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Andy Garcia, Bernie Mack, Casey Affleck, Carl Reiner and Elliott Gould.
