and it was awful, a really bad TV movie. With some terrible action sequences, Infact so Bad it was Funny.
Fleming had an amazing life so hopefully this Movie will be better made, Looking forward to it. -{
Agree Jason Connery was rubbish and correct me if Iam wrong(I'm sure someone wil) but Iam
Sure Charles Dance played him in a film I think it was called Goldeneye the life of Ian Fleming.
"The secret life of Ian Fleming " just a bit slow for my taste.
That one was the best bio they've done, and Dance looked pretty close to Fleming, though the actor they got to play Coward looked nothing like the man.
Yes, it was slow. The music also tended to be a sort of Bond score, and they even showed scenes of Dance acting as if he were Bond, which was really strange. The problem was the obviously small budget, which left us with a very chopped up condensed version of his adult life. I look forward with a lot of reserve at this next attempt at his bio, because personally, I don't think any filmed version of his life could be done with any seriousness or justice unless it was done for PBS as a series. Let's face it, they really know how to do British historical dramas and bios and detective series.
Yep, Fleming's life is very interesting, especially the Andrew Lycett bio which is more indiscrete than Pearson's. It would work better as a mini-series though imo, there's so much to pack in. And who should play Fleming? I thought Fassbender would be good, going by his Inglorious B***** role, but he may be too old for the time they have in mind.
Actually, did QT mess up the spelling on IB so it could get thru the censor detectors? It's a thought.
