Tarantino still bitter over Bond snub

Quentin Tarantino has attacked James Bond filmmakers for turning down his offer to make Casino Royale.

Quentin Tarantino has attacked James Bond filmmakers for turning down his offer to make Casino Royale.

The cult director is desperate to try his hand at a 007 film, and claims he came up with the idea to remake Casino Royale, only for producers to use it without him.

Tarantino tells British magazine Total Film: "I never saw Casino Royale because I was so mad at those guys. They said publicly that Casino Royale was un-filmable.

"The minute I said I would do Casino Royale, it's on all the websites and it is the film that people want to see. They should have said thank you."
