Oscar winner Quentin Tarantino has been saying for a while that he would only make ten films, and he reiterated that he will only do two more films during a Adobe Max conference at San Diego Convention Center on Thursday. Then he’ll “drop the mic. Boom. Tell everybody, ‘Match that s-‑‑.’”
The filmmaker’s eight directed-films so far consist of Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill (he counts the two volumes as one film), Death Proof, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, and The Hateful Eight. Four Rooms, Sin City, and Grindhouse are not counted since he was a co-director.
Tarantino revealed he has been busy researching the year 1970 for a historical nonfiction project, but he does not yet know what type of project it will be. “It could be a book, a documentary, a five-part podcast,” he stated.
He also previously announced he’s working on a ’Bonnie and Clyde’-ish” story that focuses on criminals in 1930s Australia.
“Hopefully, the way I define success is when I’m finished with the career, I’m considered one of the greatest filmmakers who ever lived,” he said of success at the conference. “That would be successful. And then to go further than that, I would be considered a great artist and not just a film director.”
You can watch Tarantino’s discussion online at approximately the 1 hour and 24 minute mark.
