Quentin Jerome Tarantino (born March 27, 1963) is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer and actor. In the early 1990s he was an independent filmmaker whose films used nonlinear storylines and aestheticization of violence. His films have earned him a variety of Academy Award, Golden Globe, BAFTA and Palme d'Or Awards and he has been nominated for Emmy and Grammy Awards. In 2007, Total Film named him the 12th-greatest director of all time. Tarantino was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, the son of Connie McHugh Tarantino Zastoupil, a health care executive and nurse born in Knoxville, and Tony Tarantino, an actor and amateur musician born in Queens, New York. Tarantino's mother allowed him to quit school at age 17, to attend an acting class full time. Tarantino gave up acting while attending the acting school, saying that he admired directors more than actors. Tarantino also worked in a video rental store before becoming a filmmaker, paid close attention to the types of films people liked to rent, and has cited that experience as inspiration for his directorial career.

If Quentin Tarantino had directed the movie "007 Casino Royale", it would surely have been a very different version of the movie. Tarantino is known for his unique style and love of homages to the cinema of yesteryear, so he probably would have included a lot of pop culture references and elements in the film. Tarantino may have added more violence and witty dialogue to the film, and he also could have explored more of James Bond's background and personality. Instead of following the plot of the original film, Tarantino could have gone for a more non-linear and piecemeal approach, similar to what he did in movies like "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill." In short, if Quentin Tarantino had directed "007 Casino Royale," it would have been a very different version of the original film, with a more violent approach, witty dialogue, and a non-linear structure. He would have also included a lot of references and homages to the cinema of yesteryear, and could have cast some of his regular collaborators.
