After suggesting as much in the past, Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill director Quentin Tarantino has announced that he will indeed retire after making his tenth film.
"Drop the mic. Boom. Tell everybody, 'Match that s—t,'" Tarantino said at the Adode Max creativity conference, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Last year's The Hateful Eight marked the eighth film from Tarantino—read IGN's review—so the director still has two more films on the way before he steps away from filmmaking.
During the conference, the director said he is currently focused on a historical nonfiction project that "could be a book, a documentary, a five-part podcast." Earlier this year, he expressed interest in turning The Hateful Eight into a stage play, and last year, he said his next project may be a miniseries adaptation of Elmore Leonard's Forty Lashes Less One.
When we had the opportunity to speak with the director back in January about his plans for the future, Tarantino told IGN that his final two films could be a gangster movie in the style of Bonnie and Clyde, and a story set in Hollywood’s past.
At the Adode Max conference, Tarantino also discussed how he would define success for himself, saying that he hopes to be "considered one of the greatest filmmakers that ever lived. And going further, a great artist, not just filmmaker."
He also shed light on his process in starting each new film project, noting that because a large portion of the language of a movie "revolves around a sound or a song," he first goes through his record collection. "Before I've started, I'm seriously thinking about the music. I'm listening to a track and picturing everyone at the Cannes Palais just loving it," he said.
