MUMBAI: Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, whose eighth directorial project Django Unchained is all set to hit theatres soon, has hinted of his retirement after his tenth film.
The 49-year-old has directed cult films like Inglourious Basterds, Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, it is reported.
"You stop when you stop, but in a fanciful world, 10 movies in my filmography would be nice. I‘ve made seven. If I have a change of heart, if I come up with a new story, I could come back. But if I stop at 10, that would be okay as an artistic statement," Tarantino has been quoted to have said.
"I just don‘t want to be an old-man filmmaker. I want to stop at a certain point. Directors don‘t get better as they get older. Usually the worst films in their filmography are those last four at the end. I am all about my filmography, and one bad film ruins up three good ones," he added.
Tarantino‘s upcoming western Django Unchained will release across the US on 25 December. The film stars Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L Jackson, Walton Goggins, Kerry Washington and Jonah Hill.
