Don’t freak yet. He’s not replacing Daniel Craig or anything.
Actually James McAvoy is attached to play Bond’s creator, Ian Fleming. Palmstar Entertainment and Animus Films are developing a biopic about the man behind 007. The story would focus on the years that gave him inspiration for Bond. The project is being based on the book, Ian Fleming: The Man Behind James Bond, by Andrew Lycett, according to Pajiba’s very reliable source.
Before his creation, Fleming stood in the shadow of his family’s name. His Father was a politician, and his siblings were well known (His Brother was a travel writer). Fleming was a likable guy, but was a bit of a disobedient playboy. His brainchild stemmed from experiences in World War II then his life was changed forever.
I think the role would be very fitting. McAvoy is a fine actor. There’s been rumblings that one day Mr. Tumnus will take over the role as the actual Bond. I really think that McAvoy showed us all how badass he could be with WANTED, but I don’t see him as a Bond. For now, Fleming will be as close as he gets.
