Hmmm, where have we heard this before? Oh, that's right.

Steven Soderbergh - director of Ocean's Eleven, Side Effects and our personal favourite, Out of Sight - announced last year that he was retiring altogether from directing. What's he doing now?

Directing one of the best TV shows on air today in the form of The Knick with Clive Owen. Liar.

Quentin Tarantino has announced that he's to retire after his tenth film - which, by our count, is the film after his next film if you don't count Grindhouse and Four Rooms.

The director was speaking at a buyers event at the AFM and talked about leaving audiences "wanting more."

"It's not etched in stone, but that's the plan. If I get to the tenth, do a good job and don't screw it up, well that sounds like a good way to end the old career."

Tarantino also spoke at length about his plans to harness the full power of 70mm and remind it's "something you can't see on television."

"I'm hoping it's going to stop the momentum of the digital stuff," Tarantino explained.

The Hateful Eight arrives in cinemas in 2015.
