The man who gave us the likes of Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, Inglourious Bastards and Kill Bill besides some other cinematic masterpieces had many a time in the past declared calling it quits on his film-making career after making 10 films. With his last year's work The Hateful Eight being his eighth film, we were left to wonder if we would be privileged with just two more films from the genius that is Quentin Tarantino.
Although the declarations for retirement have been questionable at times, it looks like the film maker will actually turn out as a man of his words regarding the same.
Addressing a gathering at the Adobe Max Creativity Conference in San Diego, the director confirmed rumours of him stopping at 10 features, saying:
"Drop the mic. Boom. Tell everybody, 'Match that shit.' "
Further on, the 53 year old director revealed that for now he is focused on a historical non- fiction project before he gets to work on his full- length scripted film which, according to him could potentially be a "Bonnie and Clyde-esque" tale set in 1930s Australia. However, Tarantino did not seem quite sure about what this project might turn into. "It could be a book, a documentary, a five-part podcast," he said.
Moreover, on being asked about how he would personally define success, Tarantino quoted,
"Hopefully, the way I define success when I finish my career is that I'm considered one of the greatest filmmakers that ever lived. And going further, a great artist, not just filmmaker."Anyways, this genius of a man, who at times has embraced controversies during his lifetime, has given much to the world cinema, and we all hope that when the time of his calling it quits finally arrives, we'll be left with a couple more of his artistic masterpieces that will continue to enthral many generations to come.
