"Steven Soderbergh has revealed that he will begin his sabbatical in January.  The Magic Mike director, who announced in September 2011 that he intended to take a break from making movies, opened up about his plans for the future. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve been planning this for five years,&amp;quot; Soderbergh told Reuters. &amp;quot;I gave myself an out date and I&amp;#039;m right on schedule,&amp;quot; he continued. &amp;quot;I turn into a pumpkin in January.&amp;quot; He went on to say that he will likely move into television when he returns to the industry. &amp;quot;After I take my self-imposed sabbatical, if I&amp;#039;m going to come back and do something, I think it&amp;#039;s more likely that it would be on television than it would be a movie,&amp;quot; Soderbergh said.  In July 2011, the director was forced to deny reports that he was retiring after Matt Damon claimed that Soderbergh was done with the film industry. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
