Tarantino, Brosnan Want Royale

Quentin Tarantino told SCI FI Wire that he has talked to Pierce Brosnan about adapting Casino Royale as Brosnan's fifth and final James Bond film. The director noted that his challenge would be to convince producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli to diverge from the current formula of expensive action set pieces.

"I don't see that they have anything to lose at all," Tarantino said in an interview while promoting his latest film, Kill Bill, Vol. 2. "They've got this gigantic franchise, they can't do anything wrong with it. Pierce Brosnan's only going to do one more movie for them, if that, so if he stayed on to do one more with me, let's just this one year go my way and do it a little differently. I won't do anything that will ruin the series."

Tarantino hopes that the offer of a low budget and Brosnan's return would convince the producers to approve a one-time-only return to the character-driven spy plots of the first several 007 films. "Wouldn't it be great to have a James Bond movie that didn't cost $115 million and only cost $40 million or something like that?" he asked. "You know it's going to make its money back, and we [would] all do good. Maybe we win the critics this time, then you're back in business the way you were before."

Tarantino felt there was only "a thin chance" that he would win the project, and said he would concede to update the 1952 novel for the present day. "If I owned the material, I would set it in the '60s, but I'm sure I'd have to do it now." Casino Royale was first adapted as a comedy in 1967.

Well I hope it wouldnt be a goofy movie like the original Casino Royale. I hope it would be a standard James Bond style movie...

well... I just hope that it would be as good as the three previous Bond films Brosnan did... I didn't like Die Another Day.. it was too much fuzz and impossibility or exaggerations... i know that the classic Bond films showed out-of-this-world gadgets which now actually exists.. but showing an enemy there with invisible cars like his.. and Brosnan looked old in that film...

well... i hope he can still do another Bond film.. unlike some news that they are thinking of getting other actors like Clive Owen, Colin Firth, Hugh Jackman, Colin Farrell, etc...
