Quentin Tarantino will end his career as a director with his next, tenth film, Film critic. For a long time, the director has confirmed his intention several times, despite complaints from fans and insiders who would like many more of his projects. And our thoughts go not only to all of his films that we will never see in the event of his retirement, but to all those that they could be but they were never made. Only in recent years has Tarantino been associated with hypotheses about new films, such as Silver Surfer, Zorro, Star Trekwhich, however, never saw the light of day. But there is another great iconic character who could have Tarantino’s treatment: James Bond.
This anecdote comes to mind in a rather enthusiastic interview published on Timing and did while the director was at the Cannes Film Festival to present his book movie spec (published in Italy by La Nave di Teseo). Tarantino admits he has “wrote several such stories, but it was a long time agoapparently in the mid-2000s. However, official negotiations with Barbara Broccoli, heir to the rights of the producer of the saga, born from the novels of Ian Fleming. Tarantino’s idea was to make a film based on Casino Royalethe very first book in the series, for which Eon (Broccoli & Associates) did not yet own the rights at the time: “What I wanted to do next pulp Fiction this was my version Casino Royale, and it would have been set in the sixties, but it wouldn’t have been a series. We would take an actor and make only one film“. In the meantime, however, Eon also acquired these rights and eventually produced Casino Royale 2006 from Daniel Craig which was a real reboot.
Now the era of Craig is also over, and Tarantino doubts it. this franchise still has a lot to say: “What do they want to do? I mean, what’s the point of a Bond now? Because they’ve already come a long way, right?“, he stated, noting that in most cases the scripts only took some elements of the novels (such as Bond girls or villains) and then produced completely original stories. In any case, this will no longer be his problem, as he has decided to retire:It’s really time, time to get out of this. I love the idea of climbing to the top, giving away all my 30 years, and then saying, “Okay, that’s enough.”‘, he admits. Even if it leaves ajar other possibilities: “I could do a series, a short film. Or a theatrical performance. I could do a lot, but probably more as an author“.
