OSCAR-WINNING director Steven Soderbergh’s “Ocean’s Thirteen” will make its international premiere at the 60th Cannes Film Festival in May, a report said Thursday.

Movie industry journal Daily Variety reported that a date for the out-of-competition screening had yet to be set, without indicating its sources.

The studio and festival hoped that many of the film’s stars, including George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Al Pacino, would attend, Variety added.

The film is the third installment in the series by Soderbergh, following on from “Ocean’s 11” in 2001 and “Ocean’s 12” in 2004, which together have grossed close to US$800 million worldwide.

Soderbergh, winner of the best director Oscar for “Traffic” in 2000, has close links to Cannes, with his “Sex, Lies and Videotape” scooping the prestigious Palme d’Or in 1989.

The lineup for this year’s Cannes Film Festival, which takes place from May 16 to 27, will be unveiled April 19.
