I’m a scosh dubious about Quentin Tarantino doing the next Bond film (both conceptually and as to its likelihood), but he certainly has some interesting ideas<\/a> that would nicely shake up the franchise:<\/p>\n

The film-maker Quentin Tarantino has disclosed his ambition to direct a James Bond film. Tarantino, who is best known for his darkly humorous and extremely violent films, has offered to remake Casino Royale, Ian Fleming’s first book, with Pierce Brosnan.
\nThe director said that while the last three films were “great” they really were “spoofs” of the true James Bond character. His notion was to set the picture in the Sixties after the events of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, when Bond’s wife was gunned down by Irma Bundt, Blofeld’s sinister henchwoman, minutes after their wedding.
\nHe wanted Bond to be “in mourning” when he falls for Vesper Lynd, the woman in Casino Royale.
\nTarantino thinks that the producers, Barbara Broccoli and her step-brother Michael G Wilson, who own Eon Productions, have nothing to lose by hiring him. “They’ve got this gigantic franchise, they can’t do anything wrong with it.”<\/p>\n

Given that the actual Bond books are nasty and brutal (in between the Clancyesque attention to verisimilitudious detail), Tarantino might certainly do some interesting Bond work. On the other hand, I don’t see Eon being at all likely to take that sort of risk.<\/p>\n
