Quentin Tarantino has long vowed that he’ll hang it up after directing one more movie.
During a recent interview with CNN’s Chris Wallace, the director of such celebrated films as “Pulp Fiction” and “Once Upon a Time in America” said he’s holding fast to that promise.
“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,” Tarantino said during his appearance on “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” to promote his new book Cinema Speculation.

“No, I don’t at all, because I’m also not in a giant hurry to make my last movie either,” he admitted.
“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 want and people watch it on their couch with their wife or their husband? Is that a movie?” he added. “Because my last movie opened up in 3,000 theatres and played all over the world for, you know, for a couple of months.”
