The script and locations for Ocean's Twelve had been carefully kept secret, but a key scene was recorded in the coffeeshop "De Dampkring." The owner, Paul Wilhelm, told media the lead characters are no strangers there. "We have Brad Pitt in our store a few times a year," he said, "all incognito with a beanie and glasses. Just sitting there smoking some. We've had George Clooney in, too. They are just nice people."
Partying on the set in Amsterdam apparently got pretty stoney due to stars' easy access to legal pot. According to insiders, Warner Bros got word that the toking was causing production delays, translating into increased costs to get the film made.
A memo from the company, sent out on May 8, 2004, addressed their apprehension about drug use among its stars and its crew. The memo read: "Though the laws regarding the use of alcohol and recreational drugs vary from country to country, we remind you that the policies of Ocean's Twelve, Warner Bros Productions, and Warner Bros Entertainment Italia strictly prohibit the use of these substances during work hours."
