Soderbergh 'to stop directing in few years'

Steven Soderbergh has revealed that he plans to end his filmmaking career in "a few more years".

The director has admitted that he regrets making Che, the four-hour plus movie starring Benicio Del Toro, because the shooting experience was too intense.

Soderbergh told The Guardian: "I'm looking at the landscape and I'm thinking, 'Hmm, I don't know. A few more years, maybe'.

"And then the stuff that I'm interested in is only going to be of interest to me. In terms of my career, I can see the end of it. I've had that sensation for a few years now."

He added: "For a year after we finished shooting I would still wake up in the morning thinking, 'Thank God I'm not shooting that film'."

Last week, the helmer was reportedly considering filming the sequel to The Limey.
