I've always liked to hear Tarantino talking about Bond and I just found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urR-5fKINyc&t=9m30s

Very interesting, though I'm glad he didn't do it. As much of a fan I am of him, I wouldn't want it set in the 60's. Or Pierce to return. I'd still be interested in at lease a script by him in the future, even if they modify the hell out of it it'd be great.
This topic has been discussed many times, but this video is new to most of us I believe.
Picking up where I started with this comment, the end of CR by QT would probably have Bond blowing up Vesper's head with a big gun, spater himself all over with blood and whatelse, and saying "The bitch is dead" with a mad-dog look in his eyes.
Yes, and probably this will be shut in no time but the video was fun nonetheless.
And this is where I get upset. Yes, he got it wrong, but he probably read the book as a kid, or didn't read it all, and that's his fault for messing up because he looks silly to us. But I think Tarantino would tame himself. Look at Jacky Brown, the film they were discussing.
Its and adaptation of a book, and its extremely tame for a Tarantino film. He was true to the characters and didn't take the story to the extreme. Watch it, and read the book and you'll see what he does with source material.
Now, when Tarantino IS the source material and he does his own work, yes he can get extremely.. interesting. But remember that Eon is always safe. A scripty by him would be rewritten by some other writer likely, and while the film would be drastically toned down, it would still have elements of Tarantino Bond almost needs. That being gripping scenes, with strong dialogue and visuals.
Just because his original work is too much for some, doesn't mean he isn't aware of it. He's extremely aware, and when he needs to be tame, he is. Check out Jacky Brown, and you'll see that Jacky isn't a cold-blooded sociopath out for revenge. She's relaxed, and looking to set things straight for herself.
You were a little ridiculous there at the end. How naive.
And about the end of my comment, obviously I was making a joke with his mistake. Obviously the joke and irony got lost when I wrote it but calling me ridiculous and naive was ridiculous and naive of you.
If your mistake was obvious, my comment would have been naive. But you failed at the joke, which you admit. I took you seriously, and seriously speaking your comment was naive. Had it come across as a joke I wouldn't have thought what I did. It came across as a lack of judgement.
But in retrospect, if indeed you intended it as a joke, then yes I was naive. But looking back, your failure to make it come across as a joke causes it to appear to be a serious comment, so I wasn't naive.
And that is the reason Cubby never went for famous directors (and of course they would want a cut of the profits)
Steven Speilburg approached him at the end of the seventies and was turned down flat. It would be a Speilburg film rather then a Bond film.
Wrong, Tarantino. That would be TWINE.
Speak for yourself. My favourite director and my 2nd favourite Bond actor, I think I would've enjoyed it.
Tarantino directing Brosnan would actually have been very interesting! He would perhaps have brought out Brozza's strengths as an actor - an ability to convey moral ambiguity and a certain sleaziness.
Maybe Tarantino "steals" from older movies but it's a fact that he's a brilliant writer.
I'm inclined to agree, although Pulp Fiction is a very good film.

Can you justify your hate? You don't have to, but I'm curious what Uma has done.
Never been a fan of the guy, seems a bit of an ass sometimes, Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs were good work but right off the bat, something just doesn't feel right about having Tarantino as a future Bond director, I think we should just look elsewhere, sincerely hope this never occurs
What about co-writing a Bond film?
Tarantino is a good writer and he really does a great job with dialogue. But its all American street talk and slang. I love the dialogue in Reservoir Dogs and all his movies after that.
Writing is difficult and not at all easy. With screenplays one really has to have a feel for dialogue, visually writing and "voice". Tanantino has all these down but again the fact that he is American and his humor or dialogue would be out of place in a Bond movie.
Let Tarantino do his own secret agent stuff and stay away from Fleming.
Well, normally I'd just throw Batman & Robin up there, but my real problem is that it just seems to me like she over-acts her parts, and that makes it hard for me to really enjoy her acting, or take her seriously.
She has amazing parts, especially in Dangerous Liaisons.
I don't remember her from that film.... I studied it in class, and I remember that I quite liked Malkovich's performance :)
You must be joking?!
She had better parts in Henry and June...
:P =P~
no. she didn't leave me any lasting impression.
