Can I just say how excited I am so see this?! Many men have
had the privilege to play bond: Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig, Sean Connery, and
Sir Roger Moore to name a few; each has brought a different twist to how they
portray the character. Now we can add Dominic Cooper amongst the ranks… albeit
he is playing the creator of James Bond, Ian Fleming (if you didn’t know this,
you break my heart). Cut from the upper
crust of society, Ian Fleming was a journalist, author and Naval Intelligence
Officer; which incidentally supplied much of the fodder for his James Bond
novels.
I am very much looking forward to seeing Cooper’s portrayal of
Ian Fleming. Critics will duly note that he does not look a bit like Ian
Fleming, which in all honesty really doesn't matter. What will speak volumes
will be whether or not Mr. Cooper can capture the essence of Ian Fleming, and
relate his story to the audience.
