Quentin Tarantino talks about his desire to direct Bond and Casino Royale |
Bond News – 06-10-03
“Kill Bill” and “Resevoir Dogs” director Quentin Tarantino has spoken again about his desire to helm a Bond film to the New York Daily News: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.”
Thanks to Scorpion for the alert.
