Why doesn't he make a 50/60's set Bond-style movie instead?
Might have something to do with who owns the rights to James Bond.
But furthermore I have yet to see in any of Tarantinos films anything to suggest he could make a Bond film.
I bet if he had of made CR, he would've cast himself as Felix Leiter. :lol:
Way too go Quentin. :P
In my opinon he's a has been. Two great films and little else to follow it up.

Gary said Bond-style movie, not Bond movie. He could do a 50's set spy movie starring Pierce Brosnan and give the spy a name other than James Bond and there's not a whole lot EON's lawyers could do about it.

It would be funny though if Tarantino did a unofficial Bond film just to spite Eon :lol:

He could do what he did with The Bride in Kill Bill (until the end of the movie) and not refer to the spy by name. I mean, it's not like EON have the copyright on tuxedos or vodka martinis, right?

Yes - I meant that Taratino could make a tribute to the sixties Bond movie.

Now that Eon are making Bourne movies, maybe someone could make a traditional Bond style spy movie wth a handsome actor.
