Soderbergh signals retirement from films

MUMBAI: Steven Soderbergh, known for his films like Sex, Lies & Videotape and Erin Brockovich among others has signaled that he would quit doing films after his next two.

"When you reach the point where you‘re like, ‘If I have to get into a van to do another scout, I‘m just going to shoot myself,‘ it‘s time to let somebody else who‘s still excited about getting in the van, get in the van," Soderbergh is quoted to have said.

"And so it‘s just time. For the last three years, I‘ve been turning down everything that comes my way, so you‘re not going to have Steven Soderbergh to kick around anymore. ... When you see those athletes hang on one or two seasons too long, it‘s kind of sad," he added.

Other films of Soderbergh include Out of Sight, Traffic, The Good German, Che, The Informant! and both the sequels of Ocean‘s Eleven.

According to the noted directed his last two films will be Liberace and Man From U.N.C.L.E.
