The pacing, script, acting, violence, and storytelling are all blended (shaken?) in the right amounts.

[@theurbanyouth]

@@davidjames579 Nothing was different, all the things in it had been done before, like the serious Bond was done before with Timothy Dalton, and Bond losing a serious romance was done before with On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

I've seen all of them, I noticed they have the same formulaic pattern. It would have been more interesting with a completely different production company and different director like Tarantino, which was something that almost happened.

[@Omar-wq9dz]

If you’re interested, Michael France’s original Goldeneye script is online to read. It’s darker and more serious, so you can’t really picture Brosnan in the role. Also, the opening is on a train, Trevelyan is older and once a mentor to Bond, and there are other differences too. It would make a good What Could Have Been

[@cinemaarts8795]

Bronsan has proven that's a talented actor and even scenes from his Bond films showed that he could be serious and gritty if he wanted to. Also, I heard that Anthony Hopkins was consider for Trevelyan early on but he was too expensive.

The 1967 Casino Royale movie was such an acid trip! It had a few moments but to me was mostly incoherent until I caught onto it appearing more like a movie of several short episodes of characters. Pierce Brosnan deserved a better final good Bond movie, I actually liked Die Another Day more than most, but it still wasn’t a great film. Setting it in the 60s would’ve been a bold and interesting take on Bond and having that be Brosnan’s final Bond movie would have been a good send off. But overall I personally prefer the modern 2000s Casino Royale that we got as it is one of my favorite Bond movies. (Also that office parkour scene!)

Great video (as usual). Brosnan should have had one more film. Good writers could have cracked the code on the script. Seems like they (including BB) were too concerned with a reboot. It would have been better to simply shift the tone as they did before with Moonraker and For Your Eyes Only.

[@Malum09]

Tarantino also said some years ago that he would like to make a more faithful adaptation of First Blood with Adam Driver as Rambo and Kurt Russell as the sheriff, that would be funny as his "Final film".

[@davidjames579]

Charles Feldman's Casino Royale went through a lot of script drafts to do it as serious before deciding to do it as a spoof. Feldman had a lot more money than Saltzman and Broccoli so hired the 'Shakespeare Of Hollywood' Ben Hecht to write several drafts. All were apparently quite dark, and actually would have struggled to have got past the censors. It has been said that they were close to the 2006 film, despite being written in the early 60's. Feldman had legendary macho drama director Howard Hawks set to helm. Supposedly Hawks dropped out after seeing Dr No and deciding that he couldn't compete with EON. EON had considered doing Casino Royale after Thunderball, as a collaboration much as that film ws with an existing rights holder. After EON bailed, Feldman went behind their backs and offered the film to Connery, to lend some authenticity and false continuity. Connery said he wouldn't do it for less than a Million Dollars, a then colossal figure, that only Elizabeth Taylor had been paid for Cleopatra. Feldman baulked at that and it's said this was when he decided to make it a spoof to "ruin" the EON films. However rather than critique the EON films or make them laughable, his comedy instead veers all over the place in its attempts to do jokes and skits, coming across as just a desperate laugh attempt. The film went over budget and cost more than any Bond film at that time. Feldman said it would have been cheaper to pay Connery a Million Dollars to do a serious film after all.

Casino Royale for Brosnan's Bond could've been the perfect send off. Just imagine this: Bond finally meets a woman who's interesting enough for James to consider retirement, and eventually... He does retire, gets married and settles down, thus putting an end to his highly paced spy days. And his wife isn't shot dead like in the closing act of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service". It could've been the perfect farewell to Pierce Brosnan's 007 days in my opinion

[@Thegoldenturtle2843]

Hey Bullets & Blockbusters. That was an amazing and interesting story of Quentin Tarantino's unmade "Casino Royale" film that you covered. Great job! I have another suggestion for you. Have you ever seen Bill Bixby's and Lou Ferrigno's "The Incredible Hulk" TV series from the 1970's? Well, after the series got cancelled, there were some television films that tried to not only revive the series, but also set up possible spin-off shows for Thor, Daredevil, She-Hulk, and even Nicholas Hammond's Spider-Man to expand on its franchise. Unfortunately, these projects never got made. But I'm wondering if you can do a video that covers Bill Bixby's and Lou Ferrigno's "The Incredible Hulk" expanded universe like: - Eric Allan Kramer's "Thor" TV show spin-off - Rex Smith's "Daredevil" TV show spin-off - "She-Hulk" TV show spin-off - 1980's Nicholas Hammond's "The Amazing Spider-Man" revival (crossover with "The Incredible Hulk" TV series) - 1990's "The Revenge of Incredible Hulk" film with Gerald Di Pego's script Once again, I hope to see more of your projects. Take care.

[@Bulletsandblockbusters]

[@davidjames579]

[@myenemysenemy1043]

I hope Tarantino casts Brosnan in his next movie...

[@jhjhjhjhjhjhify]

Tarantino's account of this project is very bizarre, and I'd argue at times crosses the line between exaggeration and outright lie. The reason he's associated with Casino Royale is because Miramax tried to get the rights to the book in the mid 90s (which wasn't an uncommon thing for studios to try and do incidentally). They presumably wanted Tarantino to direct if they ever got it or perhaps Tarantino expressed some interest in the idea. They couldn't attain them due to a deal EON had with the Fleming estate and nothing ever came of it. That's literally as far as his Casino Royale ever went. For the next ten years Tarantino would make some very strange claims about this project during interviews under the idea that it was his 'unmade Bond movie' - and keep in mind this was never an official project. Talking about the novel in 1997, he claimed the story ends with Bond killing Vesper (he doesn't, she kills herself), that Fleming's Bond is some sort of Mickey Spillane type character (I wouldn't quite say that, although it's relatively subjective), that the book takes place in the 60s (it doesn't, it was written in the 50s), and he even implied the novel used first person narration (it doesn't). I personally don't believe he's ever read the book. Fast forward to 2004/2005 and Brosnan's contract as Bond is not renewed, the rights to Fleming's first novel are back with EON, and Casino Royale is the next planned Bond movie. This is where we get Tarantino's idea of using an older Brosnan set after Majesty's. It's completely hypothetical and nothing more than him spitballing during interviews. Clearly it wasn't how he'd have approached this project in the mid-90s. The idea to adapt Casino Royale had nothing to do with him despite his claims, and he's never been considered or approached to direct an official Bond movie as far as I'm aware. As the video states there's a long and drawn out backstory to the rights, and the Casino Royale we got was an attempt to revitalise the franchise and go back to the character's roots. I'm a fan of many of Tarantino's movies, but it's laughable to try and claim such a minimal association with Bond directly impacted the franchise.

No Jinx, Graves, Frost, R, etc...or freakshow Madonna; However I would keep the two Moon characters, rewrite Zao as an ally (a relative of Wai Lin) plus make Bond completely rogue; fading into the shadows towards the end - instilling a sense of ambiguity as to whether Bond is either killed or 'killed' off. Brosnan IMO still had the acting chops and intensity to portray a hard arse, old school Bond (not Dalton or Craig level), but in a way that still retained some of the Brosnan Bond wit, charm and character.

It would have featured a 20 minute scene of Bond, Vesper, Felix and Mathis debating how much they tip bartenders and card dealers. And that would have been perfectly fine!

They need to give Cavill a run immediately

Too old now unfortunately.

I was aware of Tarantino's Casino Royale plans back in the day.

[@TheVideoScientist-bi7px]

I love the Bond franchise, but I love hearing these rejected ideas even more. They sound so intriguing and would often wonder what if we would've gotten those versions instead.

[@SoChillGamer]

Hopefully Tarantino makes a Spy movie that he wanted or his last movie. I believe he will make more tbh.. I want to see a gritty take outside of bond and see him do a spy movie. That would be awesome

[@yehhkow847]

Brosnan deserved CR This film would've been amazing, though the Craig film is really good

[@matthewdaley746]

Executive Meddling's heartless, unquestionably.

Giving any bond film an R rating or an artsy director like Tarantino would have destroyed the franchise. Bond has only ever needed to be PG-13 due to the invention of the rating and the standards changing but he works best in the realm of PG-13, showing less but leaving more to the imagination, and allowing bond to have more violence, language, and sex goes against the fundamentals of the franchise and would result in moving away from the basics of bond onto a more violent and unrecognizable bond. And bond is centered around simplicity in filmmaking styles so trying to fix something that isn’t broken with an artsy director would wreck the franchise.

Would’ve really loved to see Logan as Bond kinda like patch ❤

[@roc5291]

I’m torn on this. Although as described, this would have been phenomenal to see come to fruition, the EON Casino Royale we got is my favorite Bond film of all time and a masterpiece in it’s own right. Just hoping that Bond 26 continues to explore and push the character in new directions that takes risks while still being faithful to its legacy.

Tarantino's Casino Royale with Pierce Brosnan as Bond and Uma Thurman as Vesper, in black and white and set in the 60s would have been fire! 🔥 He would have, in fact, made it too good it would have Fd-up the series.

[@davidjames579]

Regardless of quality it would have up-ended the franchise. A reboot confused a lot of people, so a one-off Elseworlds with Brosnan and in Black And White would totally have boiled people's noodles. Good luck to whoever did the next one.

[@ChrisDavies-r7n]

I'm about as big a Bond fan as you can imagine with a lot of respect for the traditions in the making of the Bond films, but I have to say it pains me that they didn't entrust this to Tarantino - I genuinely think he would've made one of the most celebrated Bond films in the entire franchise - They just weren't willing to take the risk, such a shame. And Brosnan would've smashed it with Tarantino's vision, I'm sure of it.

[@bradavon]

Tarrinto is American and don't they own enough in cinema? They've always said Bond doesn't need to be British but not North American.

[@parkerpshebnisky1051]

Casino royale is my fav James Bond movie!😁👍👍

[@bluerincon]

The two biggest what if's: this one and the Roger Moore version of "The Living Daylights".

[@TheGeekInformant]

Haha! Beat you to this one! Obviously yours is the better video, but... FIRST! Lol. Another great video though btw!

[@Bulletsandblockbusters]

Nobody’s counting brother. You do great work!

[@TheGeekInformant]

@@Bulletsandblockbusters Thanks! That means a lot coming from someone with your prowess! Just joking around. Keep doing what you're doing! Love these vids.

[@Bulletsandblockbusters]

Haha thanks!

[@rawry100]

Tbh peirce is my bond he is who i grew up with throughout the 90s and early 00s but I do love the tone of casino royale but die another day was the first bond film i got to see at the cinema

[@PureMaddnessOne]

Quentin Tarantino's version sounds soooooooo much better than what we have gotten.

[@TheBatman2022DC]

We need a Quinton Tarantino casino royale film now!!!!

[@mathieuleader8601]

Tarantino's Bond film being filmed in black and white makes it very stylish

[@davidjames579]

He was also pissed at CR opening in Black And White, thinking they did it just to rub his nose in it!

[@ghostdesignstv]

After working all week i look forward to these uploads every Saturday! please keep up the good work

[@Bulletsandblockbusters]

I appreciate that! More to come!

[@walker1984]

You kinda get one last Brosnan as Bond in video game form
