Quentin Tarantino has doubled-down on his pledge never to make another film past his tenth — meaning his next two films will be his last.
"Drop the mic. Boom. Tell everybody, 'Match that ****,'" he said Thursday to much applause at Adobe Max, a creativity conference held by the software giant inside the San Diego Convention Center.
But before Tarantino gets to work on his next full-length scripted film — which he teased earlier this year as potentially being a "Bonnie and Clyde-esque" tale set in 1930s Australian — the 53-year-old director told the crowd inside Hall H that he is focused at the moment on a historical nonfiction project.
For four years, Tarantino has been been immersed in studying the year 1970, one he considers the most pivotal in the history of cinema. How the project eventually takes shape is not yet entirely clear. "It could be a book, a documentary, a five-part podcast," he says.
Ann Lewnes, CMO of Adobe, conducted Thursday's interview. She asked Tarantino, dressed in a blue denim shirt over a black T-shirt and jeans, how he personally defines success.
"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," he said. The audience laughed and applauded.
I love 'Kill Bill', but we don't need a third (or second, as Tarantino seems to classify the two volumes as a single film)... it's not necessary at all.
With regard to the OP, I don't believe him. He'll get sick of not making movies, and then he'll end up coming back.
