Acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has explained why plans for his version of Casino Royale never eventuated. The first book published by original James Bond author Ian Fleming, Casino Royale introduced the world to the suave British spy and paved the way for his eventual jump to the big screen in 1962’s Dr. No. In 1967, the book eventually went on to inspire a parody film starring Peter Sellers and David Niven, and 39 years later, it was finally given the proper Bond treatment for Daniel Craig’s official 007 debut. Long before Craig assumed the lead role in Casino Royale, Tarantino planned on making his adaptation following 1994’s Pulp Fiction.
