Quentin Tarantino is sticking to his 10-movie promise.
In a new interview with CNN’s Chris Wallace, the longtime filmmaker confirmed that his next movie would be his last, after directing nine standalone films over the past three decades (not counting 2007’s Death Proof, which served as half of the double feature Grindhouse alongside Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror).
«I’ve been doing it for a long time; I’ve been doing it for 30 years. And it’s time to wrap up the show,» said Tarantino, 59. «I’m an entertainer. I want to leave you wanting more.»
Tarantino kicked off his big-screen directorial career with 1992’s Reservoir Dogs, and most recently steered the ship on 2019’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
