Speaking with Deadline<\/a>\u2018s Baz Bamigboye, Tarantino said that while he never met with Barbara Broccoli, producer of the 007 franchise, he did plan to make the film during the long period of time when Eon didn\u2019t own the rights to the novel.<\/p>\n He explained: \u201cWe reached out to the Ian Fleming people, and they had suggested that they still own the rights to Casino Royale. And that\u2019s what I wanted to do after Pulp Fiction, <\/em>was do my version of Casino Royale,<\/em> and it would\u2019ve taken place in the \u201960s and wasn\u2019t about a series of Bond movies.<\/p>\n \u201cBut then it turned out that the Broccolis three years earlier figured out somebody was going to try to do what I did.\u201d<\/p>\n Tarantino continued: \u201cWhat they did is they just made a blanket deal with the Fleming estate and said that, \u2018We have the movie rights to everything he\u2019s ever written. We\u2019re going to just give you a bunch of money. This is for every single thing he\u2019s ever written. If anybody wants to make a movie out of it, they got to come to us.\u2019<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cLike every short story, every travel book. If I want to make a movie of Thrilling Cities, I need to go to the Broccolis. That\u2019s for everything he wrote. To stop somebody from being a wise guy and trying to do what I did.\u201d<\/p>\n In the same interview, Tarantino also opened up about where he thinks the Bond franchise should go next, saying that they should \u201cjust do the books\u201d<\/a>.<\/p> Meanwhile, the hunt for the next Bond star continues, with actor Rupert Friend<\/a> having seemingly thrown his own hat into the ring.<\/p>\n He revealed that he was once in contention for the part, but considered himself too young. Now, he says that maybe he has \u201cthe scars and the bruises\u201d to pull it off.<\/p> ![\""Quentin\"](\""https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/05\/GettyImages-1347703539-cdf41bf.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413"\" "\\"\"Rome\\"")
