Quentin Tarantino admits hes come to the end of the road with directing and may even QUIT following
The director, 56, has always said he intends to quit the business after making ten films, and his latest, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, is his ninth film.
Admitting that hes considering becoming a writer, he told the publication: I think when it comes to theatrical movies, Ive come to the end of the road.
I see myself writing books and starting to write theatre, so Ill still be creative. I just think Ive given all I have to give to movies.
When asked what he might do if his upcoming release is a huge success, he teased: If its really well received, maybe I wont go to 10. Maybe Ill stop right now! Maybe Ill stop while Im ahead. Well see. 
Brad Pitt, who stars in the film as stuntman Cliff Booth, said that Quentin is dead serious about quitting directing but added that were not going to have to say goodbye for a long time.
Quentins ten film journey began with Reservoir Dogs in 1992, and continued to include Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill: Volume 1, Kill Bill: Volume 2, Deathproof, Inglorious Bastards, Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight.
Technically speaking, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is already the directors tenth film, however both Kill Bill volumes are widely seen as one movie.
It is also believed that Quentin is keen to make a Star Trek film, and he confirmed to Empire magazine on Wednesday that it would be R rated if he decided to direct it.
Quentin revealed in late 2017 that he wanted to make a Star Trek movie and had been talking with JJ Abrams about it, adding the caveat that the project would only happen if Paramount approved a more adult version. 
Paramount owns the rights to the Star Trek movie franchise and Abrams has either produced or directed the last three movies in the series.
Theres a script that exists for it now. I need to weigh in on it, but I havent been able to do that yet, he explained to Empire.
