"After 'Pulp Fiction,' I tried to get the rights to Casino Royale away from the Broccolis, but that didn’t happen," Tarantino recalled to the magazine in a footnote from the interview. "That wouldn’t have been just throwing my hat in the franchise ring; that would have been subversion on a massive level, if I could have subverted Bond."

The filmmaker first revealed his plans to approach the studio about adapting the Ian Fleming novel in 2004 during his time as president of the Cannes jury. But how was the "Django Unchained" filmmaker initially planning to massively subvert 007? Tarantino wanted to make "Casino Royale" a period piece, set in either the 1950s or '60s, filmed in black and white, and he wanted it to star Pierce Brosnan, his favorite Bond.

I now demand a Superman Lives-style documentary.

It would have undoubtedly been ridiculously cool. But since the Casino Royale we ended up getting is easily my favourite Bond movie, I'm okay.

I remember QT also had a screenplay or story idea for Halloween 6, but nothing more has been uncovered about it, except a small article in Fangoria years ago just before Resurrection came out.

So Tarantino wanted to remake the TV version of Casino Royale?

 

[Sawyer]

Only three replies?

Ugh. Shame on all of you.

Putting aside my undying love for the Casino Royale we got...he lost me at Pierce Brosnan.

Lol how can you do that without any pre-production and whatnot never happening? :b The best we can hope is that Tarantino publishes his drafts, or makes them into books or lets someone else adapt them.

They just would, dammit!

Vega Brothers film not happening still haunts me.

I like Tarantino, but I like Bond more. I'm glad his version never got made.

 

[Uptown Finest]

He lost me at Pierce Brosnan and in black and white.

Vega Brothers film not happening still haunts me.

I keep/kept hoping that he would at least do it animated like in the style of anime or something like that
