It seems he couldn’t keep away for long though, as today he announced that filming is underway on new film Logan Lucky.
A heist film, Logan Lucky centres on two brothers planning a crime during a NASCAR race in Charlotte, North Carolina (Soderbergh is no stranger to heist movies, of course, having directed the Ocean’s trilogy).
In 2013, Steven Soderbergh quit Hollywood, declaring that “movies don’t matter anymore, culturally”.
The comedy will be shot over 35 days, and is set for release on 13, October, 2017.
