Regisseur Quentin Tarantino (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill) heeft met Pierce Brosnan gesproken over een verfilming van Casino Royale als Brosnans vijfde en laatste Bond-film. Tarantino zou graag zien dat producers Michael G. Wilson en Barbara Broccoli de huidige Bond-formule, waarin enorme dure sets en stunts de films bepalen, voor even opzij schuiven.
[eng]"Wouldn't it be great to have a James Bond movie that didn't cost $115 million and only cost $40 million or something like that? You know it's going to make its money back, and we would all do good. Maybe we win the critics this time, then you're back in business the way you were before."[/eng]
