Tarantino speaks up on the `Casino Royale` adaptation again

Daniel Craig wouldn�t be playing James Bond � if director Quentin Tarantino had his way.

Showbiz Spy explains that the eccentric movie maker said he would like to have directed Casino Royale � but with Pierce Brosnan as the suave British spy.

�The reason they did Casino Royale all comes down to me,� Quentin said.

�I made it a point, I said I wanted to do Casino Royale. They were already on record as saying the movie was unfilmable but then after I said it and talked about it for a little bit � then the big thing on all the internets was that that was what all the fans wanted to see and so that�s when they said, �Oh, maybe it�s not so un-filmable.�

�Actually if I had done the film, I wouldn�t have done it with Daniel Craig, I would have done it with Pierce Brosnan.�

Tarantino also confessed to being a fan of romantic comedies.

�These rom-coms get a bad rap but actually I�ve been a fan of romantic comedies since the 30s � they usually work on wordplay and everything like that, so I actually think I�d be really good at it,� he said.

�It is a guilty pleasure. I used to find it hard to actually go to the movies by myself, you want to have a date with you so you have an excuse to go.�
