Tarantino's R-rated Bond was ahead of its time.
It's often the case in Hollywood that innovative and creative movies don't pick up an audience until later in their lifespan: Blade Runner, for instance, was a box office dud but eventually became a cult classic, and that's just one of the many notable examples.
But sometimes a film project comes so out of left-field that it never actually gets made, ending up stuck in development hell at best or, at worst, never even escaping the pitching phase itself.
