Is Quentin Tarantino retiring from making movies?

Throughout his 30-plus year film career, famed director Quentin Tarantino has earned a reputation as a modern and visionary filmmaker, with a near-perfect catalog of movies. He has written and directed some of the greatest movies in cinematic history, including the cult classic Pulp Fiction and the revisionist war flick Inglourious Basterds.

Furthermore, Tarantino has been lauded with accolades and awards celebrating his work over the years, winning multiple Academy Awards, multiple Golden Globes, and a Palme D’Or, to name a few. Beyond that, his love of filmmaking, appreciation of pop culture, and uncanny ability to revive and refresh underappreciated genres earned Tarantino perhaps one of the most loyal fanbases of all time and made nerding out on movies cool again.

Though the celebrated director has long stated his goal to only make ten great films throughout his career, fans are hoping he will stick around a bit longer. With nine films under his belt so far (counting both parts of Kill Bill as one), fans are speculating if his next film will be his last. Here is what the iconic filmmaker has to say about why he wants to retire.

With Tarantino recently announcing his retirement to Bill Maher, fans have since been speculating on what his next project will be and how soon we can expect it. Many have suggested his final work will be a conclusion of the Kill Bill franchise, Kill Bill: Vol. 3, although it is probably more wishful thinking than anything else as it is a loophole to his 10 films rule.

In the interview, Maher praised the director, stating, “You’re too young to quit and you’re at the top of your game,” to which Tarantino responded coyly, “That’s why I want to quit because I know film history and from here on end, directors do not get better.” He later added, “At the same time, working for 30 years doing as many movies as I’ve done is not as many as other people, but that’s a long career. That’s a really long career. And I’ve given it everything I have.
