Before that, the movies he's written were directed by the likes of Rob Reiner, RIP, Mike Nichols, RIP, David Fincher, Bennett Miller, and Danny Boyle.

And Every time he comes out with a movie, most people say they wish the movie was directed by someone else.

Soderbergh had worked on Moneyball for five years, and then they didn't like, Soderbergh didn't like the way they were going with Moneyball, so they brought in Bennett Miller to direct the movie.
Michael VogelHOST
Yeah.
John RochaHOST
But it's, it's very rare that a director is called away from a movie and works in conjunction with another director to come in and finish their movie, and a director being willing to push their ego down and be in service of another director's vision.
