I recently just watched the film, Age Of Heroes, Ian Fleming is not played by a Bond actor but Sean Bean was in the film.
I looked up on IMDB, and (not sure on his name) but the guy who plays Villers from CR, played Fleming and so did Jonathan Pryce. Also Sean Connery's son played him in a film. Did anyone else notice that every actor who has protrayed or been in the film has a Bond connection somehow?

    When you make a movie on Fleming, you at least partly want to cash in on the success of the Bond movie series.

    Here's a 10 min clip from Goldeneye with Charles Dance:

    Anyone know if this can be found on DVD?

    It also features a young Christoph Waltz and Julien Fellowes (Downton Abbey creator)

    I really enjoyed Bondmaker. How accurate it was I don't know, but it shows the creative process and inspiration beautifully.

    Dalton could make a great Fleming. But he's probably passed the age for it at this point.

    He doesn't look like him though. I don't see any Bond actors playing Fleming.

    He could have a hair cut and dye it slightly grey? =D>

    Neither does Dominic Cooper... :-w

    When will they hire Geoffrey Rush to play Fleming?!

    It is the face that is completely different.

    The resemblance is striking. I think Rush might be too old now, sadly.

    I would love to see Rush play Fleming in a story about the last years of the man's life.
