What's the story behind him retiring? Has this been well known? Why would he walk away when he's still making pretty good films and he's not even that old?
He wants to go out on top/has a belief that directors lose touch the older they get. So he's been saying for a few years now that his tenth movie (which will be
The Movie Critic) will be his last, likes that it's a nice, round number, etc. He's also started a family and lives with his wife and kid in Israel now (where his wife is from). Again, he'll probably still do the limited series he's been talking about after this, and then, after that, I just don't see how stays away. That said, as of now, he seems pretty adamant that he's not directing an 11th movie. We shall see...
