They wouldn't even be doing this movie if it weren't for Tarantino. He gave them the whole idea.
How do you figure that?
It's based on a book Ian Fleming wrote WAAAAY back when, it's one of the first, if not THE first JB full-length story...as in set before all the "old" JB films. I doubt the film will owe anything more to tarantino than the fact it'll have guns in it?

I'm ok with the "different" bond.
It's not him changing, it's (and other early books) more like how he used to be. Yes, he was an assassin, as M puts it in the trailer "a blunt instrument". It's set in the modern day which may be a little unusual, but whatever...I didn't see as many complaints about Batman Begins, more or less the same deal...
I personally hope it's a new franchise for Bond, for at least a few films, there's definately enough material to work with.

As for the comedy version, I heard it was great...I may hire it.
