October 12, 2005
Warner Bros. has made a deal to develop a movie about James Bond creator Ian Fleming, reports Variety. Fleming has been written by Damian Stevenson and will be produced by Andrew Lazar through his Mad Chance company.
The film tells the story of how the author's own experiences with womanizing and spying shaped his signature secret agent creation.
Born into a privileged English family, Fleming began as a comparative underachiever until a stint as a journalist covering the Soviet Union led him to begin spying on that country for the Foreign Office. Fleming was the mastermind of numerous clever spying schemes, some deemed too outlandish to use, says the trade.
He unveiled 007 in "Casino Royale" in 1953, and that book has been dusted off for the 21st film in the series.
Lazar also is producing another film on a classic secret agent for Warner Bros., Get Smart, with Steve Carell attached.
