Quentin Tarantino has doubled down on his claims that he will retire after his next movie, and revealed that he has considered making his swansong a Reservoir Dogs reboot.

The director has long promised that his tenth film will be his last, and recently reflected on the fact most director's final films are "horrible".

Appearing on Real Time with Bill Maher, Tarantino was asked whether he had considered going full circle with his final film, recreating his directorial debut with all the wisdom he's picked up across his illustrious career since then.

Of his reasons for his imminent retirement, Tarantino added: "I know film history and from here on in, filmmakers do not get better.
