9. Tarantino claims to be the reason that Casino Royale got made
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.
