Los Angeles, Jan 3 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The cute Scottish actor James Mcavoy is all set to play the character role of the James Bond creator Ian Fleming in an upcoming movie. The movie has got a huge budget that is in the range of around 40 million dollars, and the producers of the movie think that the thirty-year old boyish star James Mcavoy would be the perfect person to essay the role of Ian Fleming.
According to sources, the film is going to be produced by the joint collaboration of Palmstar Entertainment and Animus Films. It is said to be the film adaptation of Andrew Lycett’s much-acclaimed book ‘Ian Fleming: The Man Behind James Bond’.
Though there are some disclaimers to this news as well, because a source has denied that Mcavoy is “attached” to the movie, based on Andrew Lycett’s biography of Fleming. And Britain’s The Independent newspaper reports that a formal approach is thought to have been made to secure the Scottish star’s involvement.
Now James Mcavoy is the second Hollywood star to be linked to a big screen biopic about the James Bond creator Ian Fleming. As prior to this, Leonardo DiCaprio and his production company had announced in 2008 they will be producing a movie about the famous author.
