'Time to wrap up the show': Quentin Tarantino reveals why his next movie will be his LAST
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Quentin Tarantino is a reputable filmmaker and is known for movies like 'Kill Bill' and 'Pulp Fiction'. In his career, he attained massive success, and the movies he directs are mostly known for him and not the other way around. His films like 'Once upon a time in Hollywood', 'Django Unchained' and several others are characterized by frequent references to pop culture and film genres, non-linear storylines, dark humor, stylized violence, extended dialogue, the pervasive use of profanity, cameos, and ensemble casts. However, we have a piece of sad news for all Tarantino fans. The famous director has revealed that he will stop making movies after his next one.
During a recent interview with CNN's 'Who's Talking to Chris Wallace?', the director was once again asked about his 11th movie and the reason behind his decision to stop making movies after so much recent success and a track record of huge hits. The 'Pulp Fiction' director addressed the speculations finally and said it was more a creator's choice and he wanted to leave the audience with more happy memories instead of making them bitter toward the director's creativity.

The director spoke to Chris Wallace about his fears of sounding out of touch as the film industry rapidly changes around him, especially since he's been in the business for so long. He explained, "Thank you. Well, it's...I've been doing it for a long time. I've been doing it for 30 years, and it's, it's time to wrap up the show. Like I said I'm an entertainer. I want to leave you wanting more, you know, and not just work and I don't want to work to diminishing returns. I don't want to be...one, I don't want to become this old man who's out of touch, who had already, I'm feeling a bit like an old man out of touch when it comes to the current movies that are out right now. And that's what happens."
Regardless, during his career, Tarantino's films have garnered a cult following as well as critical and commercial success. He has been considered "the single most influential director of his generation", and listed as one of the most influential people in the world. Apart from receiving the Palme d'Or and two Academy Awards, his other major awards include two BAFTAs and four Golden Globes.
There has been speculation that 'Kill Bill: Volume 3' will be his last movie. However, the director neither agreed nor denied it. He just said, "No I don't at all, because I'm also not in a giant hurry to make my last movie either. Right now I don't even know what a movie is. Is that something that plays on Netflix? Is that something that plays on Amazon and everyone wants and people watch it on their couch with their wife or their husband? Is that a movie? Because my last movie opened up in 3000 theaters and played all over the world for, you know, for a couple of months."
The director's previous film 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' grossed $374 million worldwide and received praise from critics for Tarantino's direction and screenplay, the performances, particularly from DiCaprio and Pitt, cinematography, soundtrack, sound design, costume design, and production values. Organizations such as the American Film Institute named the film one of the top 10 films of 2019. The film was nominated for 10 awards at the 92nd Academy Awards, winning two, and received numerous other accolades.
