Over the past couple of years there’s been numerous rumors and reports about multiple film projects that will bring Ian Fleming to the big screen. The biggest of these is one simply titled “Fleming” which is being produced by Leonardo DiCaprio’s company, Appian Way. In that film, which at one point was set to include scenes from the famed Thunderball legal case, Fleming may be portrayed by DiCaprio himself. Another production titled “Ian Fleming” is currently being developed by Palmstar Entertainment and Animus Films, based on Andrew Lycett’s extensive 1995 biography Ian Fleming: The Man Behind James Bond.

Wonder of they will ever make a movie on Dusko Popov?

Oh that’s right, they already made an entire series - they just called him James Bond.

I'd prefer Jefferson D'Arcy.

Fascinating. Now I have to get his book.

View the old "Reilly: Ace of Spies" series. From wikiwacki - Reilly, Ace of Spies is a 1983 television miniseries, written by Troy Kennedy Martin, and based on the 1967 book Ace of Spies by Robin Bruce Lockhart.

Absolutely delightful. Well scripted, magnificently acted and fairly close to the life of 'Sidney Reilly.' He was all one imagined Bond to be and more...and he was a real person.

The most interesting story about Popov was his run-in with J Edgar Hoover. Reportedly he warned Hoover about Perl Harbor, but Hoover disliked Popov so much (because he drank, cursed, romanced women, etc) that he discounted the information.

Years later Hoover would try to spin things to say he was never told any such thing.

I'd prefer Jefferson D'Arcy.

Who? Oh, you mean Stan Gable.
