LONDON, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Prolific Hollywood filmmaker Steven Soderbergh says he plans to take a break from directing after he completes the projects on which he is already working.

Soderbergh's movies include "Sex, Lies and Videotape," "Traffic," "Erin Brockovich," the "Ocean's 11" trilogy, "The Good German" and "Che."

"I feel the need to recalibrate, just step away," Soderbergh, 46, told the BBC. "I'll go away and come back with a different approach -- or I won't."

The director went on to say he is considering "maybe a change of career" after he wraps his upcoming projects, which include a a 3D musical version of the Cleopatra tale, a Liberace bio-picture and a movie about undercover FBI agent Jack Falcone.
