Quentin Tarantino has announced that he wants to manage a cinema when he stops making films.

The Kill Bill director spoke to The Sun whilst in London to collect an Icon of the Decade award at the Empire Awards. He said that he would continue to make films for at least another 15 years, and then added: "I'm not going to be this old guy that keeps cranking them out. My plan is to have a theatre by that time in some small town and I will be the manager - this crazy old movie guy.

"I've made enough money that nobody even needs to show up at the theatre. It's just having something to do.

"I will make little speeches before each movie. That sounds like a pretty cool life."

He also told the newspaper that he has begun working on the script of his movie about a platoon of second world war soldiers, with the working title of Inglorious Bastards.
