Weitz says he may direct one more film

NEW YORK, Nov. 19 (UPI) -- U.S. director Chris Weitz says the process of helming films is so exhausting he might only make one more in his career.

Weitz's credits include "American Pie," "About a Boy," "The Golden Compass" and "The Twilight Saga: New Moon."

"I can't find any intentionality in my career other than hoping to get the chance to do another film, wanting to do something different from the previous one and trying to accumulate a set of skills. I still feel as though I'm learning," Weitz told MovieMaker magazine.

However, he added "the number of aspects that go into making a film of the sort that I'm making now have become so multifold that it's really exhausting."

"Every time I make a movie I'm pretty much convinced it's the last time I'm going to be able to do it and that really it's a rather silly occupation to undertake. But I think I have maybe one more film in me," Weitz told the magazine. "Yes, I think so. I know this is for MovieMaker, but I don't think that people have to do the same thing for all their lives. Giuseppe di Lampedusa wrote one great novel, 'The Leopard,' and he didn't have to write anymore."
