10 Things You Didn’t Know About Quentin Tarantino

It isn't long 'til Quentin Tarantino's seventh movie Django Unchained hits theatres, and going by the early reactions it's looking to be a doozy. After he's brought us defining works in the gangster, blaxploitation, samurai, war and slasher genres, we're practically giddy to see just what Tarantino has done with the spaghetti western. So whilst we wait for Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz to don their cowboy hits and ride out to meet Leonard DiCaprio, we've put together a list of 10 things you probably didn't know about Quentin Jerome Tarantino to help pass the time. We won't count his middle name - "Jerome" - as one.

Although we’ll never know how true this particular notion is, Quentin Tarantino has assured that he’s the defining reason that the Daniel Craig James Bond movie Casino Royale got made back in 2006.

“The reason they did Casino Royale all comes down to me,” the director said. “I said I wanted to do Casino Royale. They were already on record as saying the movie was unfilmable but then after I said it and talked about it for a little bit — then the big thing on all the internets was that that was what all the fans wanted to see.”

Tarantino also insisted that he would have made the film with Pierce Brosnan instead of Daniel Craig. Not sure we agree with you on that one, Quentin, but the results would’ve been mighty interesting.
