File - In this Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013 file photo, director Steven Soderbergh speaks to journalists during the press conference in Berlin. Soderbergh has said that Behind the Candelabra, a $23 million HBO movie starring Michael Douglas as the flamboyant pianist and Matt Damon as his lover, Scott Thorson, will be his last film, at least for now.
Ocean's 11, Erin Brockovich, Magic Mike: Steven Soderbergh is a tough director to pin down. Now, the Oscar winner is taking on a ghost story called Presence. Soderbergh spoke with CBC's Eli Glasner about the precarious state of the industry and why he won't make another Ocean's film.
The directorial premise was the first thing because we'd had some incidents in this house that we have in Los Angeles. My wife had some moments like "Oh, did I leave that light on? I don't think so." Then we had a house sitter who saw someone in the house. There was a whole backstory to somebody who had lived in this house regarding a daughter who had killed her mother.
I love the way you were allowing us to eavesdrop on this family, almost encouraging us to jump to conclusions. There's gotta be something that scares me about the thing — and it could be anything, but there has to be a pocket of fear because it keeps you alert. I love the job so much and respect the job so much that if it's not keeping me up, then I should do something else and let somebody who's passionate about it do the job.movie should be somebody who's as excited about that opportunity as I was." Like, it's just too far in the past for me. I'm done.
