Director Quentin Tarantino told the Reuters news service at the Cannes Film Festival that he wants to tackle a James Bond movie. Once Tarantino finishes worldwide promotion for his Kill Bill Volume 2, he plans to approach the producers of the big-budget Bond series, the wire service reported.
"I've always wanted to do it," Tarantino reportedly said. "I bumped into Pierce Brosnan, and we talked about it. He liked the idea." Tarantino is a lifelong fan of the British spy saga, now starring the Irish actor Brosnan. "I would like to do the original book Casino Royale and do it more or less the way the Ian Fleming book is," Tarantino told Reuters in an interview in Cannes, where he is president of this year's film festival jury. Casino Royale was made in 1967 as an ill-fated spoof starring David Niven as an aging 007. "I don't know if they're going to go for it or not, but I'm letting them know I'm interested," he said.
