Oscar-nominated filmmaker Alex Garland (Men, Ex Machina, Annihilation) says he is planning to stop directing films following his newest movie, Civil War, at least for the time being. Speaking to The Guardian, Garland said he continues to feel how he felt in 2022, and that is that he wants to stop directing and instead write for other people.
“Nothing’s changed,” he said. “I’m in a very similar state. I’m not planning to direct again in the foreseeable future.”
In 2022, Garland told Screen Daily that he he feels “quite strongly that I should stop directing films and I should write for other people.” The idea, Garland said, is that he wants to try to “execute the film they want to make, rather than trying to force through the film I want to make, which is what used to happen in the old days.”
