Simon Pegg is planning to make his feature directorial debut and the actor says it will "hopefully" happen by the end of the year.

In an interview with Empire magazine, the 48-year-old actor-writer shared his plans for his maiden directing gig which he might start shooting in November.

"My directorial debut... Will hopefully be shooting by the end of this year," Pegg said.

"(Nira Park) sent me a script last year and said, 'This might be your first film.' I read it and said, 'I think you might be right.' Sure enough, that's what we're gearing up to do in November," he added.

Pegg will be next seen in Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible - Fallout", which also stars Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, Michelle Monaghan, Alec Baldwin, and Sean Harris.
