But I don't ususally trust these guys when they say they've retired.
Yeah, me neither. But he did make a statement recently about retiring in the near future.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I missed it too; it came up in later discussions on the book. It's more subtle than in Anansi Boys.
I thought it was pretty clear in Anansi Boys that the main character was black, and though I normally have white bias, it was one book where if race wasn't specified I assumed the character was black instead of white.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Soderbergh (he was just on Studio 360) said that he has 2-3 more projects and then he plans to retire. It isn't fun for him anymore. I believe him, but this is a SLOW rollout to retirement.
He seemed to have convinced Matt Damon, but 2-3 more projects is a good 5 years or so for him. He claims he has been saying no to things.

Are we sure it's not supposed to be a comedy, like Murder by Death?
