seems to be outdated. It's not like I'm
a frum Jew — I drive on Shabbar. But
every time I don't eat shrimp, I'm
reminded that I'm Jewish. It makes me
realize that there is something unique
about me, and more than anything,
I'm aware of who came before me and
what [was taken] from somebody else
for me to get here."
who is single and
Turteltaub
says he would ni2.r f . y only a fellow
Jew" — remains very close with his
family. Now that his brother is mar-
ried, the pressure is on him to find a
mare as well. His biggest fan, his
mother, is accepting applications.
"Send [letters] to my mom,"
Turteltaub suggests with a laugh. "Let
[her] go through them. I think she'll
take anyone over 18 and under 60."
But even morn cannot diffuse the
stress that comes with the anticipation
of instinct's opening weekend.
"I'll read a review that says I'm
lousy and I stink, and my mom will
call, excited that my name is in the
paper," he jokes. "Every single inherit-
ed gene from the Jewish culture shows
up around the time you release a
movie. Every traditional heart prob-
lem, stomach problem."
Turteltaub isn't sure what project
he'll tackle next. A graduate of
Wesleyan University in Connecticut
with a master's from the University of
California film school, he's currently
working on two movies, one a roman-
tic comedy and the other an action
adventure.
Next year he is set to direct a •
remake of the Japanese film Shall We
Dance, starring Tom Hanks. And the
enterprising filmmaker wouldn't rule
out a turn on the other side of the
camera as well.
"I used to want to be an actor, but
I stunk," he admits. "I didn't stink by
high school and college standards, but
I knew I stunk by grownup standards.
But I might try it again at some
point."
And if all else fails, he might just go
back to his original plan of becoming
a teacher — something he scrapped
when he realized it wasn't as lucrative
as the film industry.
"I always thought I'd love to be
an elementary school teacher," says
Turteltaub, "— if they paid elemen-
tary school teachers 5 percent of the
gross."

Instinct, rated R, opens in area
theaters today.
