Companies such as Netflix and Amazon have become major players in the film business in recent years, with a host of Hollywood stars signing deals to create original programming for the on-demand Internet companies.

However, Tarantino is not planning on joining actors such as Kevin Spacey and Jodie Foster, and director David Fincher by working for streaming sites, after revealing he is so uninterested in online movie-watching that he still tapes films when they are broadcast on TV.

The Django Unchained director tells Indiewire.com, "I am not excited about streaming at all. I like something hard and tangible in my hand. And I can't watch a movie on a laptop. I don't use Netflix at all.

"I don't have any sort of delivery system. I have the videos from Video Archives. They went out of business, and I bought their inventory. Probably close to eight thousand tapes and DVDs.

"I have a bunch of DVDs and a bunch of videos, and I still tape movies off of television on video so I can keep my collection going."
