The Five Confirmed Movies Starring Julia Roberts and George Clooney
The enduring appeal of the Roberts-Clooney pairing stems from their natural, easygoing rapport. Their long-standing, off-screen friendship—which Roberts once joked was a "lifesaver" during a difficult period—translates into electric chemistry on screen, whether they are playing romantic leads or professional adversaries. Here is every film they have made together, ranked by their critical and cultural impact.
1. Ocean's Eleven (2001): The Heist That Started It All
This stylish, star-studded heist film marked the first time Roberts and Clooney shared the screen, establishing their dynamic as the ultimate Hollywood 'it' couple. Clooney plays Danny Ocean, the charismatic leader of a crew planning a massive casino robbery, while Roberts plays Tess Ocean, Danny's estranged wife who is dating the casino owner (Andy Garcia).
- Roles: George Clooney as Danny Ocean; Julia Roberts as Tess Ocean.
- The Dynamic: Their relationship is the emotional anchor of the film, providing a high-stakes personal rivalry that complements the main heist plot.
- Legacy: A massive box office success and a cultural phenomenon that launched a new franchise, instantly cementing their on-screen chemistry as iconic.
2. Ticket to Paradise (2022): The Rom-Com Revival
After a six-year hiatus from working together, Roberts and Clooney reunited for this Bali-set romantic comedy, a genre both actors are intimately familiar with. They play a fiercely divorced couple who must reluctantly team up to stop their daughter from marrying a local in a rash decision, fearing she is making the same mistake they did decades ago.
The film was a significant commercial success, proving that the star power of two established A-listers could still draw audiences to the cinema for a classic, feel-good movie. Its performance showed that the romantic comedy genre, often relegated to streaming, was not dead.
- Roles: George Clooney as David Cotton; Julia Roberts as Georgia Cotton.
- The Dynamic: Hilarious, bickering ex-spouses whose deep-seated affection slowly resurfaces, showcasing their masterful comedic timing.
- Legacy: A post-pandemic box-office hit that successfully revived the big-screen romantic comedy, proving their chemistry is timeless.
3. Ocean's Twelve (2004): The European Sequel
The sequel to the original blockbuster saw Roberts return as Tess Ocean, but this time, the stakes were higher, and the action moved to Europe. Roberts' character famously takes on a meta-role, impersonating the real-life Julia Roberts as part of the new heist, which added a layer of self-aware comedy to the proceedings.
- Roles: George Clooney as Danny Ocean; Julia Roberts as Tess Ocean/Herself.
- The Dynamic: Less focus on their romantic relationship, more on their roles within the larger ensemble cast and the complex, globe-trotting plot.
- Legacy: A successful follow-up that expanded the Ocean's universe and allowed Roberts to play one of the most unique, fourth-wall-breaking roles of her career.
4. Money Monster (2016): The Intense Thriller
Directed by Jodie Foster, this financial thriller marked a significant departure from their light-hearted heist and rom-com collaborations. Clooney plays Lee Gates, a bombastic financial TV host who is taken hostage live on air, while Roberts plays Patty Fenn, the show's producer who tries to manage the crisis from the control room.
- Roles: George Clooney as Lee Gates; Julia Roberts as Patty Fenn.
- The Dynamic: Their chemistry is professional and intense, as they communicate through earpieces, fighting for survival and justice in a high-pressure, confined setting.
- Legacy: A critical look at the financial industry and media sensationalism, demonstrating their ability to anchor a serious, socially conscious film.
5. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002): The Cameo Connection
While often overlooked in their joint filmography, this movie is historically significant as George Clooney's directorial debut. Roberts appears in a smaller, but pivotal, role as a mysterious spy named Patricia Watson. Their collaboration here shows the depth of their friendship, with Roberts agreeing to a supporting role to support Clooney's first foray behind the camera.
- Roles: George Clooney as Jim Byrd; Julia Roberts as Patricia Watson.
- The Dynamic: A brief, but impactful, connection between two operatives in a spy thriller based on the life of Chuck Barris.
- Legacy: A testament to their personal bond, with Roberts lending her star power to help launch Clooney's career as a respected director.
The Truth About The Rumored Julia Roberts and George Clooney 2025 Movie
The question on every fan's mind is: Will there be a sixth film? The internet has been abuzz with trailers and speculation about a movie titled The Way We Were: A Love Rewritten, allegedly set for a 2025 release.
The Current Reality: As of this update, there is no official announcement or confirmed production for a sixth joint film starring both Julia Roberts and George Clooney. The trailers circulating online are often fan-made or concept trailers, expertly edited to look like a genuine movie announcement, capitalizing on the success of Ticket to Paradise.
However, both actors remain incredibly busy. Julia Roberts is set to star in the upcoming thriller After the Hunt, and George Clooney is actively involved in directing and producing new projects. Their presence at major events like the 2025 New York Film Festival for their separate films only confirms their individual commitment to high-quality cinema.
While a new collaboration is not yet confirmed, the massive success of their latest film, Ticket to Paradise, makes a reunion highly probable. Hollywood loves a winning formula, and the Roberts-Clooney pairing is a proven box office draw that audiences clearly want to see again. Fans should remain hopeful, but for now, their fifth film remains the latest chapter in their shared cinematic history.
