i actually like the idea. i mean sure it has to be pg-13 but have you noticed the decreasing amount of cussing in his movies? pulp fiction said ‘fuck’ over 200 times. vol. 2 said it 20 times. i think he needs to expand and im interested to see him do a non-r rated film.
and in this movie he would actually spy. not a bunch of this action thats been going on. like from russia with love. there are what like two action sequences in that movie yet its one of my favorite bond films.
but pierce brosnan speaking tarantino dialouge? i just dont see it. unless tarantino can get a good performance out of him then it shouldnt be done. get connery back or something i dont care if he is 70 some odd years old.
I deleted a double topic:
Hya folks,
I really like Quintin Tarantino and when I heard he wanted to make the new bond flick: Casino Royale I got all excited.
However, I did realize that the changes of realizing this project are slim to none so I made the site whit a online petition. When there are enough sigs in the petition I will send it to the producers of James Bond.
It may or may not do anything, but this way we can at least show them that there are quitte some people interested in a ‘good’ bond movie.

From the New York Daily News Article on Kill Bill :
Tarantino on tackling 007
"Someday I’m going to get the rights to do ‘Casino Royale,’ the first James Bond novel, and do it the right way. I really wanted it to be my followup to ‘Pulp Fiction’ and do it with Pierce Brosnan, but have it take place after the events of ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ - after Bond’s wife, Tracy, has been killed.“I want Bond to be in mourning when he falls in love with Vesper Lynd, the woman in the novel. From what I know of Brosnan and read in interviews, I think he’d want to go in the direction I’d want to take Bond, though I’m not certain producers of the series would agree.”
This would be so fucking cool. I always hated the fucked up sixties version of “Casino Royale” with Woody Allen and Orson Welles. It is very unlikely that a Tarantino Bond movie ever sees the day but we can dream, can’t we ? …

Here’s another link on the James Bond thing. Quentin also mentions ‘Inglorious Bastards’ and talks about what he wants the film to be.

[i]Here is a book review of “Casino Royale” for those who are unfamiliar with it :
“The plot is straightforward Cold War cloak and dagger. A despicable villain known as LeChiffre is in trouble. He has used good deal of Soviet/Commie-backed Union money to satisfy his own grotesque personal needs and, because his brothel business has been legislated away, he turns to gambling to get the money required to make his re-payment. LeChiffre is desperate, knowing full well that should he fail to come up with the required cash, he will be dealt with by SMERSH, a Soviet Agency Far More Secret And Dangerous Than The KGB. The Good Guys - meaning British Intelligence with help from French and American allies - aim to destroy LeChiffre and scandalize the Soviet/Commie-backed Union by sending their best gambler, James Bond, to bankrupt him at the game of baccarat.
It will surprise no one that Bond is an unrepentant misogynist. When finding himself paired with a female agent - the lust-inducing Vesper Lynd - he is disgusted in spite of his sexual attraction to her. Bond firmly maintains that women are only “for recreation”, and declares her to be a “stupid bitch” - although not to her face, gangsta rap having yet to make that fashionable. Yet, as a chivalrous woman-hater, he is compelled to go on a dangerous pursuit when she is kidnapped by the Evil Villain. This act of overt male heroism ends with Bond getting tortured by having his genitals beaten so badly that it takes him weeks in a hospital to recover. Upon recovery, he is consumed with a desire to bed Vesper Lynd in an effort to prove he can still, ahem, perform as man. Dwelling too long on the symbolism of this theme will make your head explode.
The story can be cleanly divided into two parts. The first section is the standard espionage fodder of bugged hotel rooms and assassination attempts, with the exception of an extended sequence on the fateful game of baccarat, both an overview of how the game is played and the description of the Bond/LeChiffre showdown. This is a wonderfully written section - the card game is more exciting than the bombs and car chases. It will make you want to play baccarat next time you’re in Vegas.
The second part of the story follows Bond’s recovery from the above mentioned torture and is oddly melodramatic and romantic; certainly not the sort of thing one expects from an action oriented genre. It is a difficult task for a novelist, to maintain reader interest through character development after spending the first half of the book portraying bombastic daring-do. Fleming makes a solid attempt, but the senses are already overwhelmed and any delicacy and subtlety seem anti-climatic. Eating steamed broccoli may be healthy, but it still tastes bad after a chocolate sundae.
Another shortcoming is the lack of humor or irony - there is no Q, no clever gadgets, and no witty repartee. In fact, the only humor is unintentional. When speculating what motivates a LeChiffre henchman to be a cold ruthless killer, Bond decides the answer is drugs - probably “Marihuana” (the ‘h’ is not a typo). One wonders what prompted Fleming to eventually settle in Jamaica.”
Hmm … “bitch” … “getting tortured by having his genitals beaten” ( perhaps to a funky song ?) …
- sounds perfect for Quention
“lack of humor or irony” - well Quention would certainly take care of that …
But Quentins version would not be the first real one - the
“Climax Mystery Theater” episode “Casino Royale” from 1954 was the first Bond ever …
James ‘Jimmy’ Bond was an American played by Barry Nelson (Airport, the Shinning). LeChiffre was played by Peter Lorre.
Has anybody seen this ?
On the subject of American Jimmy Bond - this aspect of Casino Royale book is pretty amusing :
"It was a mostly Anglophile world, although you might spot the odd Yank, like Bond’s CIA agent friend Felix Leiter, of whom “Bond reflected that good Americans were fine people and that most of them seemed to come from Texas.” [/i]
Pierce Brosnan rocks. he suppors QT:
imdb.com sais:
007 star Pierce Brosnan is desperate to make a James Bond film with maverick movie-maker Quentin Tarantino. The Kill Bill auteur recently revealed his ambitions to make a Bond movie, and Brosnan - rumored to be stepping down as the superspy after making his fourth 007 film - thinks he’d be fantastic. When asked what Tarantino would add to the franchise, Brosnan gushes, “Life. A great sense of excitement and danger and the perspective of a film-maker who’s really made people sit up and watch his movies. He’s got a cutting edge which we got with the last Bond film Die Another Day with Lee Tamahori’s sense of flair. They allowed him, more than any other director, to go out there with it. So someone like Quentin would be magnificent, whether it’s me as Bond or some other guy.”
Uma was interviewed while she was at Cannes and they just showed a clip where she was asked about the Bond movie and how Tarantino wants to do it and how he wants her as a Bond Girl and she said that she’s heard nothing about it and that Tarantino hasn’t talked to her about it either.

First of all, even though I posted it, the GTA rumor is pretty much unsubstantiated at the moment.  I posted that topic asking if anyone had any solid information on it.  So far, nothing.  Secondly, QT just might make that Itallian giallo (sp?) and the same goes for the Airplane thriller. ÂÂ
Finally, Casino Royale stands just as good a chance of being made as any of the aforementioned films.  Its not like QT is just going to STOP making movies between (since QT said he doesn’t feel up to another epic just yet) Inglorious Bastards and after Inglorious Bastards.  And he doesn’t necessarily have to water himself down for a Bond film.  QT’s dialogue is more than just a string of curses and pop culture references.  Its much more sophisticated than that, and I’m sure, being a Bond fan himself, QT has more respect for the franchise than to simply devolve it into a f-bomb, splatter filled mess.
QT knows movies, and by virtue of that, QT knows BOND movies.  He knows the rules and limitations of the universe he’s working within just as he understand the rule and limitations of the Elmore Leonard universe and Jackie Brown turned out great.  If anyone is capable of breathing new life into the Bond series, its QT.  ÂÂ

Nice point, there. Well spoken, Puck.

[quote]Tarantino furious with Bond producers
Sunday, January 8 2006, 11:00 GMT – by Daniel Kilkelly
Quentin Tarantino is unhappy with James Bond producers.
The director claims that he suggested the idea of filming Casino Royale to former Bond star Pierce Brosnan, who has since been replaced by Daniel Craig.
“I’m annoyed that the James Bond producers never even called me up to talk to me about it because I can tell you they would not be making Casino Royale if I hadn’t talked about it first,” Tarantino is quoted by the Sunday Mirror as saying.
“They should have called me. Especially since they are taking my idea and they are taking the publicity I gave them towards that idea. They should have at least out of courtesy had coffee with me.”[/quote]
