007: Quentin Tarantino reveals how he almost made a classic James Bond movie

The director also has suggestions for the future of the franchise.

Despite the controversy, Quentin Tarantino remains one of the most respected directors in the film industry. The filmmaker has captivated audiences with his subversive action films such as Kill Bill This pulp Fiction. And in a recent interview, the director confirmed that he almost added another big hit to his resume – 007: Casino Royale.

In an interview with Deadline, Tarantino explained that he planned to adapt the original book written by Ian Fleming V 1953. At that time the studio EON Productions was the owner of the rights to produce 007, but not to the adaptation of this first book. The director contacted the studio Miramax and started planning my own version of this feature.

“This is what I wanted to do after Pulp Fiction. Make my version of Casino Royale. And it would have been the 60s and it wouldn’t have been a series of Bond films.” explains Tarantino. “We would choose one actor in one film, and that’s it. So we thought we could do it.”

He just did not imagine that the family broccoli, the owner of EON Production, was already expecting some director to try to adapt this book. The group then paid Ian Fleming’s heirs to ensure that anyone who wanted to make Casino Royale you have to deal with them first. As such, Tarantino has abandoned his plans and is no longer interested in the franchise. However, do you have any idea how the story can continue without Daniel Craig.

“A lot of the books have very classic titles and very classic adventures. And for the most part, many of them, they never did. [adaptações diretas] books. They never went down in history.” announce.

For Tarantino, the next 007 movies should stop taking just a few scenes and book titles and invest in adapting the story in the best possible way as it was originally written. What do you think of this franchise path? Be sure to comment!
