    no. she didn't leave me any lasting impression.

    You must either have been a very worldly young chap, or weren't paying close enough attention. Or perhaps your school had edited the version.

    I'm not totally crazy about the idea, because I feel like Tarantino relies too much on shock factor, like extreme violence and vulgarity. I don't think he's that great of a director when it comes to the basic element of telling the story.

    However...I do really like his idea of having narration. I always pictured CR as more a film noire. It would have been cool to have him involved at a producer level with Broccoli and Wilson.

    Casino Royale '06 is a very modernised take on the book, which adds a lot and takes a lot of liberties. Honestly, I would like to have seen a more faithful adaptation.

    Tarantino doesn't even know the CR novel enough to direct. He said Bond killed Vesper. Guess he skipped from their arrival near the beach to "the bitch is dead", and filled in the dotted lines.

    Haha, yeah, too true. But I think he would capture the 'feel' of the book better. But then again, you're probably right. Can't trust a guy who can't get one of the most important details right.

    The CR we got is pristine. I can't see another cast/crew mash-up doing better.

    The guy made one mistake! Maybe he hadn't read it in a while, he wanted it in the 50s/60s, sounds true enough to the book to me. Jackie Brown was truer to it's original book than CR 06 was. Tarantino is a master of memorable characters, great dialouge and making a film look good. And he can adapt. I would've loved CR from him and I would love to see him tackle a Bond film in the future.

    Overrated writer and director - nicked all of his creative inspiration from Asia and the 70s. The guy is pants. So glad he didn't get his cheatin' lyin' paws on Bond. Setting Bond in the 60s? Yeah of course, another era he can plunder and loot. Twat.

    I'm inclined to agree, although Pulp Fiction is a very good film.

    PF is his most overrated film with no soul and lots of cool dialogue, I like the film but JB, IB & RD are better films.

    Maybe it just came out of his mouth wrong.


    Anyway, this proves that he wanted to do CR before EON came up with the idea, so maybe EON did get the idea from him like he's said before.

    Brosnan said DN was the first Bond novel... not the first time someone makes a mistake when talking about Bond.

    One thing people seem to forget is that Tarantino, while having his own style, has the ability to adjust himself to a specific genre and the requirements of that genre. I don't think he would have made Pulp Royale or Inglorious Solace.

    Yes ... I am a bit hesitant over him with a Bond film. but then again: it would be interesting! Perhaps not more than one, but I'd give him a shot. I had to think that over, but yeah it could be good, different, exciting; but not any Bond like we know now, I think. I'd rather like him to do one and probably just one. But who knows if this will happen? I seem to doubt it.

    Well, I am sort of for giving Taratino a shot but NOT to remake Casino Royale (or remake any Bond movie). CR with Craig was pristine, like you said. I am completely happy with that one.

    TBH its probably a good thing both Tarantino/Brosnan never got to make the film. While it would have been interesting to see how a Tarantino Bond film would have turned out (I don't believe it would have been worse than DAD) I'm not convinced Tarantino nor Brosnan have a particularly strong knowledge of Fleming. Both have made some slightly embarrassing gaffes.

    CR was already in development when he demanded to make a four hour black and white R-rated version with Brosnan, despite bad mouthing the producers. It was a publicity stunt and you fell for it hook, line and sinker.

    Besides, Tarantino cannot make a studio movie as he is not a member of the Directors Guild and can only do independent movies. James Bond is MGM, a Directors Guild studio and a non-Guild director cannot work for them. The only way this would ever have happened was if QT had joined the union, but he didn't and neither did he have a script outline for CR. That's two reasons why the QT connection to CR should be confined to the rubbish pile.

    Now, as for the Chris Nolan rumour, that's a possibility.

    I've always been a QT fan, Jackie Brown is one of my favourite films. And it's a film that shows how he doesn't need to use over-the-top violence to keep the story going.
    I would like to see him do a Bond film because some of his previous films show elements that would be perfect in a Bond film.
    There are a couple of scenes in Inglorious Basterds that are masterclasses in suspense. And I think the Bond films could do with a bit more of that.
    Bond films have a lot of car chases. Death Proof has one of the BEST EVER car chases made at the end of that film. If Quentin can come up with something like that for a Bond film, it'd be brilliant.
    Bond has a lot of one-liners, some better than others and some of them are memorable ones that people still quote today. How many memorable lines have come out of Pulp Fiction?!? QT can come up with some funny lines!

    If QT and EON can both forget the whole CR stuff and work together on something completely new, we'd have a winner of a film.
    B-)
