In 1998, Steven Soderbergh released the crime comedy 'Out of Sight,' based on the Elmore Leonard novel of the same name. Starring George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, and one heck of an ensemble cast, the film followed a bank robber as he's chased down by a U.S. Marshal and the two unwittingly fall for each other. While the film wasn't a huge success at the box office, it was a hit with critics and cinephiles alike, and has become a beloved classic. 16 years later, we revisit the cast and see what they're up to now.

Then: George Clooney played Jack Foley, a bank robber who breaks out of prison, spends his ride out with a U.S. Marshal in the trunk of a car, and then accidentally falls for her when she chases after him. Clooney had previously appeared in 'From Dusk till Dawn' and played Batman in 'Batman and Robin.'

Now: Clooney went on to appear in Soderbergh's 'Ocean's Eleven' trilogy, and appeared in the Coen Brothers' films 'O Brother Where Art Thou' and 'Burn After Reading.' He moved into directing himself, helming and starring in the films 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,' 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' 'Leatherheads,' 'The Ides of March,' and most recently, 'The Monuments Men.' He also recently starred in 'Gravity' and can be seen next in Brad Bird's 'Tomorrowland.'

Then: Jennifer Lopez played U.S. Marshal Karen Sisco, sent to apprehend Jack Foley -- but is she tracking him down because she wants to catch him, or because she loves him? Lopez, a previous Fly Girl on 'In Living Color' and star of the film 'Selena,' was not the first choice for the role: Sandra Bullock was also considered and had great chemistry with Clooney. (Bullock would later go on to star in 'Gravity' with Clooney in 2013.)

Now: Lopez released her debut single in 1999, and has since released seven studio albums. She has appeared in the films 'The Cell,' 'The Wedding Planner,' 'Maid in Manhattan,' and 'The Back-up Plan.' She is a judge on 'American Idol,' and the executive producer of the ABC Family show 'The Fosters.' Lopez has recently appeared in the films 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' and 'Parker,' and can be seen next in the horror film 'The Boy Next Door.'

Then: Michael Keaton made an appearance as Ray Nicolette, an A.T.F. agent and friend of the Sisco family. Keaton also played Ray Nicolette in Quentin Tarantino's 'Jackie Brown,' which was also based on an Elmore Leonard novel which takes place in the same universe -- but since Miramax held the rights to the character, Tarantino had to negotiate a special deal to allow Universal to use the character and Keaton, thus his appearance was uncredited.

Now: Keaton has since appeared in 'White Noise' and 'The Other Guys' and lent his voice to Pixar's 'Cars' and 'Toy Story 3.' Recent he starred in Larry David's HBO film 'Clear History' and in the 'RoboCop' remake, which is in theaters now. You can see him next in 'Need for Speed' and 'Birdman,' and he's rumored to reprise his role for Tim Burton's 'Beetlejuice 2.'
