Actor James McAvoy appears close to signing to play James Bond creator Ian Fleming in a biopic set to start shooting later this year. McAvoy's wife, actress Anne-Marie Duff may be cast in the role of Fleming's wife. The film will be based on the book Ian Fleming: The Man Behind James Bond. Fleming has been the subject of two previous TV biopics, Goldeneye (produced before the feature film of the same name) starring Charles Dance as Fleming and The Secret Life of Ian Fleming starring Jason Connery (Sean Connery's son) in the title role. The film will not have anything to do with the James Bond movie series produced by Eon Productions, which owns the movie rights to Fleming's novels. For more click here
