From CBn: Tarantino's Bond Bid www.commanderbond.net/Public/Stories/2132-1.shtmlWhile promoting his forthcoming film Kill Bill, director Quentin Tarantino told The New York Daily News how he would tackle one of the only Bond novels not to have an 'official' Eon treatment to date. He told told them "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 isn't the only time Tarantino has expressed interest in being involved in a Bond film, the rumour mill had him apparently submit to Eon a script for a potential Bond film that Tony Scott would supposedly direct, Tarantino also has in the past put forward his wish to write/direct a film in a 60s style. *** What a great compliment for Pierce! He always said he dreamed of one day working with Tarantino and the likes.

Yes a great and deserved compliment that he wants to do it with Pierce and PB has said before he'd love to work with Tarantino. The problem is EON now owns the rights to Casino Royale and they aren't giving them up to anyone, they want to Bond monopoly after the interminable Kevin McClory debacle with Thunderball/ Never Say Never Again. Basically he'd have more luck picthing this idea to EON and doing the next official Bond film, and that isn't much luck at all, unfortunately. Full article from The NY Daily NewsAce
