Awesome idea of the day: Biopic of Ian Fleming, based on Nicolas Shakespeare’s biography, directed by either Casino Royale director Martin Campbell or Danny Boyle. Having been so thoroughly enjoying Shakespeare’s book, I think an equally detailed film adaptation would be incredible. Obviously only someone who has directed a Bond film, or the very guy who had Bond escort the queen to the Olympics, could be trusted to direct it. The only question is, who could play Fleming? Obviously guys like Pierce Brosnan or Daniel Craig come to mind; but given Fleming’s air of upper class privilege, in a weird way I also think someone like Stephen Fry could be in the running.
