Goldfinger!

Goldfinger! is a 2020 spy film starring Pierce Brosnan and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The film is based on the 1959 James Bond novel Goldfinger, which had been previously adapted in a 1964 film of the same name. Unlike the majority of Bond films, Goldfinger! was not produced by Eon Productions but by Warner Bros.

Brosnan played the role of Bond for the fifth and final time on-screen, marking his return to the character 18 years after Die Another Day. As Brosnan was 66 at the time of filming, the storyline features a retired Bond, who is brought back into action to investigate SPECTRE treasurer. Filming locations included Switzerland, the United States and Millennium Studios in the United Kingdom.

Plot
James Bond, a retired MI6 agent, is phoned by M, the head of MI6, to come back to MI6 and do a mission. The mission involved fighting against SPECTRE treasurer, Auric Goldfinger.

Development
Around 2004, director Quentin Tarantino expressed his plans to Eon Productions for a Casino Royale adaptation set in the 1960s and would've only been director if Pierce Brosnan would agree to being James Bond. When Pierce Brosnan left the position of Bond in 2005, Tarantino quit his idea of an adaptation. In 2014, however, he approached Warner Bros with an idea of a Goldfinger adaptation. The idea was kept in discussions, and then became confirmed in 2017 when Tarantino and Danjaq, LLC made an agreement that the film was allowed to be made as long as Danjaq, LLC got 20% of the box office. The script was then confirmed to be penned by Tarantino and Anthony Horowitz, who has also written two official James Bond continuation novels. The script went through several rewrites, but eventually settled on one.

Casting
Casting begun in May 2018, when the script was complete. Tarantino approached Pierce Brosnan for the role of Bond. Brosnan had portrayed Bond in the official James Bond films Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day. Brosnan agreed to the role, and the script was slightly altered, suiting Brosnan's age and making Bond a retired agent who was approached by MI6 for one last mission. Rowan Atkinson had also signed on for the role of Major Q Boothroyd.
