Quentin Tarrantino has reportedly served notice to the producers of the James Bond series that he no longer has any interest in working on the next film, Casino Royale, because they have shown Pierce Brosnan the door in favor of a new, as yet uncast younger actor. Although I liked the recent, rather textbook Bond movies, there’s little doubt the series could afford a little creative shaking up, and Tarrantino would seem to have been a perfect choice for this. Tarrantino, who in the past has been linked to everything from a new Godzilla movie to a new Friday the 13th film (a rumor he’s since disowned) will have to seek elsewhere for a venerable series to screw around with.
