Says Variety: "Al Pacino has been added to Steven Soderbergh's "Ocean's Thirteen" gang.

Jerry Weintraub is producing the pic, which has a July 21 start date. Shooting is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. "Rounders" scribes Brian Koppelman and David Levien penned the script.

Details of the plot are being kept under wraps, but Warners revealed that Pacino will be playing Willie Banks, the owner of a high-profile casino and hotel in Las Vegas."

Previous reports indicate that neither Julia Roberts nor Catherine Zeta-Jones will be on board this time -- although the "Ocean" flicks snag cast-members like flypaper, so only time will tell.

Additionally, Cinematical reports that Clooney wants to find some room for Sacha Baron Cohen (aka Ali G) in this second sequel.

Also currently scheduled to return for "Ocean 3" are Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, and Andy Garcia."

bleh, they need to know when to stop

Ali G sounds good, Ellen Barkin not so much.

Ooh Ali G will be awesome...but I bet his appearance is going to be a bell hop or something

I love Al, esp in The Godfather 1&2, but IMO, no other man has aged so poorly in Hollywood as him. Gotta be the chain smoking.

Still an amazing actor tho.
