Speaking before the Adobe Max creativity conference in San Diego, Quentin Tarantino re-affirmed his commitment not to make feature films beyond his tenth. This means that he will have to do two more films before he turns his back from film making.
In a story ran by The Hollywood Reporter, Tarantino spoke in the conference hosted by the software giant Adobe. "Drop the mic. Boom. Tell everybody, 'Match that shit," the film maker said to much applause of those in attendance inside the San Diego Convention Center.
The film-maker already hinted in 2012 that he plans to end his career as a director at ten films before moving into other passions like writing novels and stage or theater plays. At the said conference, Tarantino was asked how he personally defined success.
“Hopefully, the way I define success when I finish my career is that I’m considered one of the greatest film-makers that ever lived,” he answered. “And going further, a great artist, not just film-maker.”
According to The Guardian, Tarantino's latest film "The Hateful Eight" was his eighth film. This is due to the fact that Tarantino considers "Kill Bill" Volumes 1 and 2 as a single film, only split into two installments for its cinematic release. Also, the film maker does not count his first amateur film "My Bestfriend's Birthday" as it was not released in cinemas and the later half is still missing.
Tarantino first appeared in public consciousness after winning the Oscars for his screenplay in "Pulp Fiction". "Pulp Fiction" will go on to be one of the most influential movies of modern century, while still leaving many moviegoers in shock as to the level of violence in the film. On the other hand, his seventh feature film "Django Unchained", released in 2012, proved to be his biggest box office hit. The movie raked in $425 million worldwide and brought Tarantino his second Oscar.
