While Daniel Craig is the current 007 in residence at Eon Productions — the company responsible for 22 James Bond films, from Dr. No (1962) to Quantum of Solace (2008) — another British actor may be working with "Her Majesty's Secret Service" in the near future.
According to Pajiba, an inside source has revealed that Wanted star James McAvoy is in talks to play Bond's creator,
Ian Fleming, in a biopic from Palmstar Entertainment and Animus Films.
With the working title Ian Fleming, the movie will be based on the book Ian Fleming: The Man Behind James Bond by Andrew Lycett and is expected to focus on the years of Fleming's life that inspired him to create the world's most famous spy. Matt Brown is adapting the book for the screen, but no director has been attached yet.

Actor Todd Dies At 90

The Dam Busters star and real life war hero Richard Todd has died at the age of 90.
Todd, best known for his role in the 1955 World War II epic, passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Grantham, England on Thursday.
The Irish-born star began as a stage actor in the 1930s, but his promising career was cut short by war and he joined the British Army. He graduated to the position of captain in the British 6th Airborne Division and took part in the famous D-Day landings of 1944.
After the war, Todd returned to the stage for a production of The Hasty Heart and was chosen to star in a Hollywood adaptation which won him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in 1949. For his second role he teamed up with legendary director Alfred Hitchcock to star in 1950 thriller Stage Fright.
He went on to play heroes including folk legends Robin Hood and Rob Roy, before landing a role in The Dam Busters. He also starred in another well-known World War II epic The Longest Day in 1962, in which he relived the D-Day landings.
Todd came close to landing the iconic role of James Bond in the super-spy's movie debut Dr. No. The actor was 007 author Ian Fleming's first choice to play the suave secret agent, but a scheduling conflict ruled him out of the movie and handed the part to Sean Connery.
The veteran star continued to act in the 1980s with roles in British TV shows including crime series Silent Witness and sci-fi classic Doctor Who and was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1993.

Watch: Lady GaGa turns 'Bad Romance' into a great music video

Lady GaGa is at it again. She’s taken a paper-thin slice of a song—in this case “Bad Romance”—and turned it into a fascinating video that peels back layers never evident in the tune. The superstar-in-training delivers her trippiest video yet (although “Paparazzi” was pretty mindblowing in parts). This one recalls everything from “Clockwork Orange” to “Sunset Blvd” to “Austin Powers” to “Dr. No” to things we haven’t even figured out yet. The basic plot is the Lady GaGa is a robot taken over by Russian supermodels (or so we assume they’re Russian from the vodka), who force her to

I don't know if you caught last night's 2009 Scream Awards on Spike TV last night. But if you didn't, then you missed out on one of the strangest parades of Hollywood back-patting ever staged. For those unfamiliar with this new heir to the Oscars and the Golden Globes, the Scream Awards are ostensibly all about celebrating the best in sci-fi, fantasy, and horror on both the big and the small screen. And just to show that the event is even cooler than the MTV Movie Awards, the categories honor such superlatives as Best Horror Movie, Best Villain, and my personal favorite,

The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009) Movie Review
24 October 2009 1:12 PM, PDT
| Beyond Hollywood
| See recent Beyond Hollywood news
»
“The Men Who Stare at Goats”, starring and produced by George Clooney, is an adaption of Jon Ronson’s 2004 nonfiction book about alleged psychic experiments conducted by the U.S. military. Like “The Informant!”, another Clooney-produced movie, “Goats” is ostensibly based on true events, but has clearly stretched the facts for the sake of getting laughs. The movie aims to be a “Catch-22” or “Dr. Strangelove” style spoof of the absurdities of military bureaucracy, but ultimately it’s more of a gentle, loving send-up than the sharp satire it could have been.
Ewan McGregor is Bob Wilton, a stand-in for author Ronson, who’s a down on his luck newspaper reporter in Michigan. Wilton’s wife has left him for another man (who wears a prosthetic arm apparently borrowed from Dr. No), and he’s not exactly getting the plum assignments these days. For one of his stories, he interviews

· Congratulations to erstwhile Michael Scott paramour Amy Ryan and her fiance, who became the proud parents of a baby girl last week.
· Bad news for Hollywood gays, though, as T.R. Knight and Rosie O'Donnell both appear to have split from their partners.
· Is everybody from TV dealing oxycodone now? First there was the Big Brother dude, and now there's Smallville's Sam Jones, who was arrested today after taking part in a conspiracy to deal more than 10,000 pills of oxycodone.
· Joseph Wiseman, who played James Bond villain Dr. No, died Monday at the age of 91. Pour out a martini for him in honor, won't you?

Joseph Wiseman: A tribute to the late Dr. No

Joseph Wiseman, the Canadian-born actor best known for his deliciously evil portrayal of the James Bond villain, Dr. No, passed away yesterday at age 91. Wiseman appeared in a slew of Broadway productions, television shows, and movies such as Viva Zapata! with Marlon Brando and The Unforgiven with Burt Lancaster. But he will always be remembered for locking horns with Sean Connery's agent 007 in 1962's Dr. No. Wiseman's character, a mad scientist with an arsenal of fiendishly wry quips, a charter membership in Spectre, and a nasty atomic-powered radio-beam weapon, became the prototypical Bond villain. Later in his life, the

James Bond's original nemesis Dr. No has died - the actor Joseph Wiseman passed away on Monday.
Wiseman played the metal-clawed, crazed scientist in the first ever 007 feature film in 1962, which starred Sean Connery and Ursula Andress.
He died aged 91 at his home in New York after a prolonged battle with ill health - almost eight months after his wife, modern dancer/choreographer Pearl Lang, died suddenly from a heart attack following hip surgery.
As well as his role as Dr. No, Wiseman featured in a string of films including Detective Story and The Unforgiven.
He also had guest roles in Law & Order, The Streets of San Francisco and The Twilight Zone.

Original Bond Villain Dies Aged 91

Sad news today that Joseph Wiseman who played the first James Bond villain opposite Sean Connery in Dr. No has died ages 91. Wiseman played the character Dr. Julius No in the 1962 film.
The La Times have reported that Wiseman’s health had recently been deteriorating and that he died at his home in Manhattan. His last TV role was in an episode of Law And Order in 1996 with his last performance on stage in the 2001 production of Judgment At Nuremberg.
I think I’ve seen Dr. No more times than any other Bond and along with Connery, Ursula Andress coming out of the water and a ‘dragon’, Wiseman’s performance was excellent and paved the way for 20 other Bond villains over the next 50 years!
Our thoughts go out to his family and friends. Rip Mr. Wiseman.

Breaking News: Joseph Wiseman, The Original James Bond Villain, Dead At Age 91

Joseph Wiseman, who made screen history as the first 007 screen villain in the title role of Dr. No, has died at age 91. Wiseman was a distinguished name in both film and on stage, and remained active on Broadway in recent years. Only a few years ago, he had a major role in the revival of "Judgment at Nuremberg." Wiseman also had many other major films to his credit including The Night They Raided Minsky's, Detective Story and The Unforgiven. Wiseman rarely granted interviews, despite countless requests to discuss his role in Dr. No. On a personal note, back in the 1990s, I attended a New York film event at which Sean Connery was honored. To everyone's surprise, Joseph Wiseman was among the speakers and he reflected fondly on Dr. No. When a film clip was shown of Connery and Wiseman in the film, the audience went wild. He was a
