Director Quentin Tarantino has given fans his "drop the mic" moment by confirming that he plans to retire after making his next two films.
Speaking at the Adobe Max creativity conference in San Diego, Tarantino told the audience his tenth film would be his last.
"Drop the mic. Boom! Tell everybody, 'Match that s***!'" he said.
During his interview with Adobe's Chief Marketing Officer Ann Lewnes, Tarantino was asked how he defines success.
"Hopefully, the way I define success when I finish my career is that I'm considered one of the greatest filmmakers that ever lived," he replied. "And going further, a great artist, not just filmmaker."
Tarantino has yet to confirm details of his next two movies. He has previously said a 1930s gangster movie set in Australia could be a contender, while he also told the audience at Adobe Max that he also has another project based around the year 1970. "It could be a book, a documentary, a five-part podcast," he said.
Since making his debut with 1992's Reservoir Dogs, Tarantino has twice won the 'triple whammy' of Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA awards for his screenplays for his films Django Unchained and Pulp Fiction. In 1994 Pulp Fiction also won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
His most recent film, 2015's whodunit western The Hateful Eight, did not perform as well as his two previous films Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds at the box office.
