After Quentin Tarantino accepted the Best Screenplay award for Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood at the 2020 Golden Globes, the director told the press that he inevitably plans to stop making films and “leave them wanting more a little bit.”
“I do like the idea of… a 10-film filmography where I’ve spent the last 30 years giving everything in the world that I have to it, and then dropping the mic and saying, ‘Okay, that’s it,'” Tarantino explained (via ComicBook.com). “And there’s other things I can do. I can write plays, I can direct plays, I can do a TV show, I can do a lot of different things, but the filmography will stand.”
As Tarantino told GQ Australia in July 2019, his departure from film doesn’t mean he’ll disappear from the public eye entirely. “I think when it comes to theatrical movies, I’ve come to the end of the road,” he said. “I see myself writing film books and starting to write theatre, so I’ll still be creative. I just think I’ve given all I have to give to movies.”
And, while he’s focused on his growing family at the moment, Tarantino is not counting out the possibility of a comeback down the road. “If, later on, I come across a good movie, I won’t not do it just because I said I wouldn’t,” he said (per Deadline). We can’t wait to see what’s ahead for this talented family!
