Director Quentin Tarantino has revealed he plans to retire after completing his 10th film, saying he likes the idea of leaving audiences "wanting a bit more".
He told an American Film Market (AFM) audience in Santa Monica: "I don't believe you should stay onstage until people are begging you to get off".
The Pulp Fiction director was speaking at an event to promote his current project, western The Hateful Eight.
"I've got two more to go after this," the 51-year-old continued.
"I like that I will leave a 10-film filmography," said the director, whose other titles include Reservoir Dogs and the two-part ? Bill.
"It's not etched in stone, but that is the plan."
Tarantino said directing was "a young man's game" and that he intended to spend the remainder of his career "writing plays and books".
The director's statements drew light-hearted mockery from his fellow panellists, who included his regular collaborator Samuel L Jackson.
"What's Quentin going to do with himself if he's not doing this?" said the actor, who worked with Tarantino on Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and other titles.
The Oscar-winning writer and director announced in January he was putting The Hateful Eight on hold after its script was leaked online.
He reversed his decision later in the year, saying the film - about a group of outlaws left stranded by a blizzard - would be made after all.

He's said this before. There was a director (idr his name) that kept going on past his prime and made some terrible movies at the end of his career and tarantino said he doesn't wana be that guy. Just wants to wreck ? and leave before people get tired of him.

His statement "directing is a young mans game" is ? IMO.

Channing Tatum and Sam Jackson have been cast in The Hateful Eighth.. . Looking good already
To shed more light on his plans for retirement, everyone knows QT has been more of an encyclopedia of film than an actual film director i.e. he's borrowed from every film genre possible and referenced styles from old movies more especially Blaxploitation cinema to make his.
And he's blurred the lines perfectly between those old films and originality, thereby making him a screen legend .. his films are entertaining too, most importantly
It might be he's run outta ideas and I don't blame him. He wants to stop at 10 films which looks like a solid landmark. This current one is his 8th so there's still some more years for him to be active.
Soderbergh too "retired" and is directing a TV series now (The Knick, which is dope BTW) and he was an auteur like Tarantino.. -
This is sad, He's my favorite director, Hope he goes out on top and these last 2 films are as good as his others
