When Tarantino was arguably on the peak of his hype, proper after Pulp Fiction, he had large plans for his subsequent film. He contacted Ian Fleming’s property about buying the rights to adapt considered one of Fleming’s novels for movie. Sadly, it appears they misled him or didn’t fairly perceive the implications of a deal they’d made just some years earlier.
Tarantino spoke with Deadline about his lengthy pursuit of a James Bond venture. As he defined…
We reached out to the Ian Fleming folks, they usually had steered that they nonetheless personal the rights to On line casino Royale. And that’s what I wished to do after Pulp Fiction was do my model of On line casino Royale, and it might’ve taken place within the ’60s and wasn’t a few collection of Bond films. We might have solid an actor and be one and performed. So I assumed we may do that.

That’s what he thought. But it surely was to not be. In line with Tarantino, the Broccolis, the household that has managed the James Bond movie franchise rights for the reason that Sixties, realized “any person was going to attempt to do what I did” and made the Fleming property an enormous deal to the film rights for the creator’s whole profession. (“Like each brief story, each journey ebook. If I wish to make a film of Thrilling Cities, I have to go to the Broccolis,” Tarantino quipped.)
