Ridley Scott Throws Cold Water On Quentin Tarantino's Idea Of Retiring After 10th Film

After Quentin Tarantino revealed last year that he intended to retire after his tenth film so that he could focus on writing, another famous director has said that they believe he is making a mistake.

Speaking to the BBC, Ridley Scott, whose latest film 'House Of Gucci' is out now, was asked about Tarantino's plans and said: "I find that very odd. I mean, you’re at the height of your powers in your 50s as a director."

Scott, who is 84 and is about to release his 27th film, continued by saying: "I think it would be terribly sad if he stopped making films. I hope it's just a phase."

Tarantino, 58, who burst onto the scene with 'Reservoir Dogs' in 1992 and has since released nine more feature films and has won two Oscars and a Golden Globe, said last year: "I think when it comes to theatrical movies, I’ve come to the end of the road. I see myself writing film criticism and short stories and novels."

However, Scott insists that Tarantino is not old enough to retire: “We all have to slow down at some stage, but I can assure you there is plenty of life in him yet."
