LEO DiCAPRIO TO PLAY IAN FLEMING??

Slashfilm is reporting that Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company Appian Way has acquired the rights to make "Fleming," a film biopic based on the life of British author and James Bond creator Ian Fleming.

The story would center on Fleming, who fought as a Commander of Naval Intelligence in World War II while creating 007 and the many characters from the novels. Scribe Damian Stevenson describes the film as “Shakespeare in Love or Finding Neverland with some real-life Bond-like espionage and female flattery thrown in.”

And while it has not been officially announced that DiCaprio would play Fleming, most insiders assume that Appian Way is developing the project as a starring vehicle for DiCaprio.
