The Perfect Actor to Play Ian Fleming

Infernorhythm

I remember hearing a year ago that there was an in development film set to chronicle the life of Ian Fleming. The one script that was written was said to be a bit too James Bond-ian, but still, the idea of a Fleming biopic is perfect (although, I think there was one called Goldeneye in the 80s). In either case, after seeing Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds a second time, I finally figured out who Christoph Waltz (who played the wonderfully chilling Hans Landa) reminded me of: Fleming himself. They are similar in appearance, and Waltz can pull of a perfect English accent, as well as carry himself in that Fleming-esque, gentlemanly nature. Also, oddly enough, he was in the Goldeneye miniseries from the 80s as well. I can honestly not think of a better actor to play Fleming.

He certainly looks like he could pull it off, although I haven't seen Inglourious Basterds yet.

What about Ralph Fienes?

Charles Dance was spot-on in the TV bio-pic; he'd be hard to top.

I would like to see this. Do you happen to remember the name, or know where I can find it.

Edit: I see that it is called Goldeneye. ;% I guess I should have read the first post a little closer.

Yeah, scratch mine - Charles Dance would be perfect.
