James McAvoy to play Ian Fleming

"Wanted" star James McAvoy is set to play the interesting life of Ian Fleming (creator behind James Bond) in an upcoming biopic "Ian Fleming" (working title).
The big news here, however, is that the movie — which has been independently financed to the tune of around $40 million — has James McAvoy attached in the lead, which sadly probably takes him out of the running to replace Daniel Craig in the future. McAvoy actually seems well suited to the role — he can do playboy (Bright Young Things), he can do period and war movie (Atonement), and he can do action (Wanted). Plus, he’s an excellent actor with a dry sense of humor befitting not just Fleming, but Bond. - Pajiba
Fleming was a rich kid, recruited to the Naval Intelligence Division at the outbreak of the Second World War. His experiences were used into the Bond novels.

The movie will be based on the book, Ian Fleming: The Man Behind James Bond, by Andrew Lycett.

30-year-old Scottish actor is great choice as Ian Fleming but some doubt in playing the role of James Bond.
