Moon and Source Code director Duncan Jones will direct a biopic about James Bond creator Ian Fleming.
The Hollywood Reporter says the project, announced at this week's Cannes film festival, will focus on the author's early years as a British naval intelligence officer during World War II and how his commando days inspired his greatest literary creation.
The film will be based on Andrew Lycett's biography Ian Fleming, The Man Behind James Bond.
"Fleming lived through one of the most perilous periods in world history, in a position that allowed him a unique vantage point of all the players, all the stakes. He witnesses true heroism first-hand. And he saw the evil men could do," said Jones. "Then, when the war ended, he went off to write fiction. The essential question for me is where did Ian Fleming end and Bond begin?"
