LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Producer Jerry Weintraub constructed a poker lounge so the stars of "Ocean's 13" could kick back between shoots in Los Angeles.

The "Ocean's Club" lounge is reminiscent of the men's dens prowled by members of the "Rat Pack" in the 1960s, TMZ.com reported.

The original "Ocean's Eleven" film, produced in 1960, starred Rat Pack members Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop. Weintraub used to consort with members of pack and also managed Sinatra's career.

The new sequel stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon. The actors can use the lounge to eat, drink and relax during the production of "Ocean's 13," due to be released in 2007, TMZ.com reported.
