Director David Lynch has hinted that he may never don the hat of a filmmaker again.
The 71-year-old helmer says Hollywood has changed by a lot in the last few years and he cannot comprehend how average films do well at the box office, reported The Sydney Morning Herald.
"Things changed a lot. So many films were not doing well at the box office even though they might have been great films and the things that were doing well at the box office weren't the things that I would want to do," Lynch said.
When asked whether his most recent big-screen outing, "Inland Empire" in 2016, will be his final directorial venture, the director replied, "Yes, it is".
The director will, however, come back with the revival of his popular TV show, "Twin Peaks", later this month for a third season, 16 years after the series ended.
Lynch is best known for his films "The Elephant Man", "Lost Highway", "The Straight Story" and "Mulholland Drive".
