I don't know, maybe Matthew Vaughn has read that interview too and saw the potential, because 'Kingsman' is pretty much that: An ultra violent, funny, crazy, foul-mouthed James Bond film (with a little bit of 'Men in Black' and 'Mission Impossible' thrown in). Sadly, that never happened, but ever since I read that I wondered what an R-rated Bond might be like.
Years ago Tarantino said in an interview that he had written a James Bond script and that he would love to direct a Bond film.

While Connery's Bond was scoffing at the "noise" of the Beatles, Caine's Palmer was wooing 60s dollybirds by driving them to his place in his Ford Zephyr and rustling up a meal.
This Michael Caine vehicle may have been produced by the team behind the Bond films, but its hero Harry Palmer is the antithesis of Ian Fleming's suave super-spy.
Ex-KGB & Russia's President putin calls this the most realistic portrayal of a spy. One of the best adaptation of a spy novel.
