Casino Royale

Before Daniel Craig was cast as James Bond andMartin Campbell directed a gritty reboot of the 007 franchise , Quentin Tarantino was working on his own translation ofCasino Royale . It was the first James Bond novel and it was also the only one that had n’t been properly adapted at that point . Tarantino wanted to keep Pierce Brosnan in the role of 007 , as he felt he was the ideal bail bond , and he want to make a movie that was driven more by plot and character than by crowing set piece . He would ’ve localise it afterOn Her Majesty ’s Secret Service , decently after Bond ’s married woman was drink down , so that he ’d be mourn and his romanticism with Vesper Lynd inCasino Royalewould be marked by cataclysm .

Less Than Zero

Bret Easton Ellis ’ seminal debut novelLess Than Zero , which absolutely captures the upper - class California youth culture of the 1980s , was adapted for the big screen in 1987 with Robert Downey , Jr. starring . However , it contain a lot of liberty with the narration and characters , so Ellis was dysphoric with it . In the long time since , Quentin Tarantino has hurl his hat in the ring to direct a more close ( and overall unspoilt ) version of the Quran . Ellis said at one head that Tarantino had been “ stress to get Fox to let him make over [ Less Than Zero ] ” for years with no success . deplorably , now that Hulu is mold on its own adaptation , Tarantino ’s version will probably never happen .

Westworld

AfterDeath Proofshowed that even Quentin Tarantino was n’t infallible and wascapable of making a not - so - smashing movie , the manufacturer pounced on him . They saw a failing and they thought they could work that and get a visionary director to take on a tentpole remake or an A - lister ’s star vehicle . One such handwriting that come through was Billy Ray ’s take on the Michael Crichton novelWestworld , the only one Tarantino gave any serious thought . The original Yul Brynner version ofWestworldwas too heavy on the mindless violence , whilethe young HBO versionis too grave on the existential themes and bass philosophical system of the premise . Tarantino could ’ve encounter the right balance between the two , just like he ’s done with all of his other picture show .

A Howard Hawks-esque Screwball Romcom

Whilea fortune of Quentin Tarantino ’s movies have comedic element – including one controversial muzzle about the Ku Klux Klan featuring Jonah Hill – he has n’t made an all - out clowning yet . He once cite his desire to conduct a Howard Hawks - style screwball romanticist comedy that would star two A - listing lead . A romantic comedy directed by Quentin Tarantino may sound like a joke , but this would be a postmodernist take on an old style of romantic comedy . It would do to the romantic drollery whatInglourious Basterdsdid to the World War II legal action picture . Hawks ’ movieHis Girl Fridayis one ofTarantino ’s all - sentence favorite movies , and it would ’ve been amazing – or at least interesting – to see him modernize that kind of flick .

Laurence Fishburne like Tarantino ’s vision for the moving picture and was concerned in recreate the lead role .

However , the project fell off the radiolocation when Tarantino got bind intoPulp Fiction . We finally end up with a projection screen version of Luke Cage in TV form on Netflix , butit was reasonably mehcompared to what Tarantino would ’ve given us : a comic book interlingual rendition ofJackie Brown .

Untitled Disaster Movie

The star - studded ensemble disaster film was one of the command genre in the seventies , and if there ’s one matter Quentin Tarantino likes doing , it ’s train literary genre that have gone out of style – the kung fu movie , the spaghetti western , the blaxploitation film etc . – and present them a modern makeover . So , it ’s no surprise at all that he was once consider make a disaster picture with a big ensemble cast fill with Tarantino regulars : “ [ John ] Travolta could be the pilot , Pam Grier the stewardess , Robert Forster , Michael Madsen , Tim Roth , Harvey Keitel , Bridget Fonda . ” Sounds like it could ’ve been awe-inspiring , right ?

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Kill ! , which would stick with three exotic social dancer “ just go out drink , having a in force time , solicit up . ” Carmen Electra , Kim Kardashian , Lindsay Lohan , and Britney Spears are among the names that have been associated with the labor .

Like those large trampy actresses from Italy and Germany in the ‘ 70s who were just like , ‘ Roll the camera , mother****r , here we go . ’ That ’d be so great . ”

Killer Crow

Killer Crowwas declare to complete Tarantino ’s historical retaliation trilogy that began withInglourious Basterdsand continued withDjango Unchained . The third and final chapter would mix the World War II context of the former with the racial theme of the latter .

The interconnectivity of the Tarantino - versewas found from the very showtime , with the revelation that Mr. Blonde ’s ( Michael Madsen ) material name is Vic Vega inReservoir Dogssuggesting he is the pal of Vincent Vega ( John Travolta ) fromPulp Fiction . Tarantino plan a twisting - off about the two brothers , but it never came to pass on . What made it so difficult is that both characters die in their movies , so it would have to be go under before those motion-picture show , and what with Madsen and Travolta maturate 25 years , that would be hard to pull off .

Kill Bill Vol. 3

Perhaps the most renowned project Tarantino has seek to make that never materialized is the mooted third chapter in theKill Billsaga . He first teased it during an consultation about the first two in 2009 when he say , “ You have n’t ask me about the third one . ” After he was pressed on it , he just declare , “ The Bride will contend again ! ” The third movie was account to revolve around Nikki exacting her revenge on the Bride after inherit Bill ’s money and being raised by Sofie Fatale .
