Iconic film director Quentin Tarantino, best known for classics like “Pulp Fiction” and “Kill Bill”, recently confirmed his retirement plans in a Deadline interview. Tarantino, renowned for his candidness, expressed his displeasure with the current state of Hollywood and its shift toward streaming.
In his assertive critique, Tarantino condemned the lack of originality in Hollywood’s distribution model and questioned streaming as a detrimental practice for creativity, pondering, “What is a movie now? Is it just something thrown on Apple?”
In his post-retirement phase, Tarantino envisages disrupting the system from within, contemplating a new TV series and other diverse creative endeavors. Despite signing a film distribution deal with Sony, Tarantino openly critiqued Hollywood’s overemphasis on Marvel movies, insisting on the necessity of change.
In the interview, Tarantino shared, “I could make a TV series, do a short film, act in a play. I could do all sorts of things. Compared to being a director, I’ll be more like a writer in the future. Up to this day, the industry still judges a movie’s success by the number of people it gets in cinemas, not just by making a really expensive movie and putting it on your streaming platform with no one knowing it’s there.”
