Tarantino wants to make Bond film

from ShowBizData.com:
Only days after James Bond star Pierce Brosnan revealed that writers have been stymied in their efforts to come up with a script for a new 007 thriller and suggested that they return to a more character-driven plot like the one in the original Casino Royale novel, Quentin Tarantino has indicated that he would like to remake Casino Royale -- with Brosnan in the starring role. In an interview with the online Sci-Fi Wire, Tarantino indicated that he had had a positive meeting with Brosnan about his proposal but that he had only a "thin chance" that MGM and the Bond film producers would go for it. "I don't see that they have anything to lose at all," Tarantino said. "They've got this gigantic franchise, they can't do anything wrong with it. Pierce Brosnan's only going to do one more movie for them, if that, so ... go my way and do it a little differently. I won't do anything that will ruin the series." (The 1967 film version of Casino Royale was a virtual spoof of Bond movies, featuring a number of actors, including David Niven and Peter Sellers, playing Bond in multiple "disguises.")

MGM would be crazy not to go for this. I think it's a great idea!
