Film
890: Ocean’s Thirteen
Trivia: Al Pacino was director Steven Soderbergh's first choice for the role of Willie
Bank. The film's producer, Jerry Weintraub,
a friend of Pacino's, persuaded him to join the cast.
The fake
nose Matt Damon wears is an in-joke
reference to The Brothers Grimm,
in which director Terry Gilliam
wanted the actor to wear a fake nose but the studio vetoed it.
The
film's translation in Russia is "13 Friends of Ocean".
Rusty's
ring-tone is "Don't You Want Me" by The Human League.
Linus's
fake nose ploy is "The Brody", a reference to actor Adrien Brody.
The
Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow logos at the front of the film are styled in
homage to the 1970s/1980s intro animation to New York station WOR-TV's "4
O'Clock Movie," and the accompanying music is identical.
The
numbers that Mr. Weng picks to win at the roulette wheel are 11, 12 and 13 -
the numbers of the three "Ocean" movies, thus far.
