James Bond Creator To Be Immortalised On Film

As MGM and Sony Pictures Entertainment bring Bond to the gestation of his twenty-first movie based on Fleming�s first Bond novel: 'Casino Royale'; words are in the works about the author himshelf.

�The Secret life of Ian Flemming,� writer and muse of the James Bond series, has only yet seen itself into a TV movie with Jason Connery, son of 007 King, Sean.

Warner Bros., who have currently not given a comment on a possible biog screen version of the film, will be backing Damian Stevenson�s screenplay, while Andrew Lazar will produce.

Fleming, born into an affluent Scottish family, originally a young journalist for Reuters, reported from the Soviet Union before working in Naval Intelligence during WW2. Like Bond he had a penchant for fine women, wine and foreign fare.

Fleming sold film rights of 'Dr. No' in 1960, and Bond was first released onto the nations� screen in 1962. Fleming died in 1964, but left his legacy to live on through a series of charmed secret agents. The new one of which, is yet to be named.

So we suppose he�ll be appearing from the grave then, with love.
