Quentin Tarantino is considering making a horror film for his 10th and final movie

Director Quentin Tarantino has long maintained that he will retire from filmmaking after his 10th film, and it seems possible that could be a horror movie.

While doing press for his ninth film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the 56-year-old director hinted his final movie could be his first straight up horror flick.

'If I come up with a terrific horror film story, I will do that as my tenth movie,' the director said in an interview with The Independent. I love horror movies. I would love to do a horror film.'

Tarantino still hasn't nailed down what his 10th and final film will be, but it seems there are several possibilities.

The filmmaker has been developing a new Star Trek movie for Paramount Pictures, which is believed to be one candidate for his final film.

Tarantino revealed in a June interview with Empire Magazine that he has already written a script for the Star Trek project.

'There’s a script that exists for it now, I need to weigh in on it, but haven’t been able to do that yet,' Tarantino said at the time. 

The filmmaker has also hinted that he could reunite with Uma Thurman and make a third Kill Bill movie

During an appearance on MTV's Happy Sad Confused podcast, Tarantino admitted he has thought a lot about making a third Kill Bill movie.

More Kill Bill: 'Me and Uma have talked about [a third Kill Bill] recently,' he said on the podcast. 'Frankly, to tell you the truth, I have thought about it a little further'

As for what he would do after retiring as a filmmaker, Tarantino has hinted about writing novels or plays.

His ninth film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, recently crossed the $100 million domestic plateau at the box office, the only original film this summer to cross that milestone.

The film follows the former star of a hit Western TV series, Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his longtime stuntman Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt), who find themselves struggling to fit into a changing Hollywood in the summer of 1969.
