Soderbergh to quit.

16Jan12

Interview in Times2 today with Steven Soderbergh suggesting he’s had enough of the movie business. Pay walled, but key quote:

I’m just frustrated at the restrictions around structure, casting, exposition and payoffs. Even on smaller movies you get given a list of people your backers would like to see in the movie.

He also reveals he was set to direct Moneyball, but was fired from doing so 3 days before filming began, presumably over the type of thing mentioned above.
