“Most directors have horrible last movies,” he said during the conversation.
“Usually their worst movies are their last movies. That’s the case for most of the Golden Age directors that ended up making their last movies in the late ’60s and the ’70s, then that ended up being the case for most of the New Hollywood directors who made their last movies in the late ’80s and the ’90s,” he continued, specifically referencing Bonnie & Clyde director Arthur Penn.
“I’m not a super huge fan of this director, but the fact that Arthur Penn‘s last movie is Penn & Teller Get Killed is a metaphor for how crummy most of the New Hollywood directors’ last, last films were. So to actually end your career on a decent movie is rare. To end it with, like, a good movie is kind of phenomenal,” he said.
“I mean, most directors’ last films are f—ing lousy. Maybe I should not make another movie because I could be really happy with dropping the mic.”
Quentin Tarantino‘s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood is his ninth film, which won two Academy Awards and critical acclaim, and he has previously stated that he wound end his career at 10 movies. There is also some news about his latest movie!
