Bond producers to take on 'Casino Royale'
Published Wednesday, Dec 1 2004, 16:58 GMT | By Daniel Saney
Eon Productions, which produces the Bond movies for MGM are reportedly considering remaking the Bond thriller Casino Royale.
These reports follow rumours of Quentin Tarantino's possible intentions to remake the Casino Royale with the snubbed Pierce Brosnan reprising his rightful role as 007.
Eon Production hold no intentions of including either Tarantino or Brosnan in the potential venture.
While there is an original screenplay of Casino Royale it is very much different from the book which was, as Fleming's biographer Andrew Lycett told the Sunday Times, "probably Fleming's most literary work."
The original was a spoof starring various Bonds including David Niven, Woody Allen and Peter Sellers.
