Jones has teamed with Roger Avary to write the script, based on author Andrew Lycett’s “Ian Fleming, the Man Behind James Bond.”
Fleming was a British secret agent before becoming a best-selling author. He travelled the world masterminding covert operations that later inspired him to create the Bond superspy character.

Open thread: The Godfather? Annie Hall? Groundhog Day? Take a look at the Writers Guild of America's list of the 101 best screenplays – and let us know which is your favourite script
When Quentin Tarantino accepted his Oscar for best screenplay this year, he said 2013 would be the "writer's year". While directors and actors tend to get the lion's share of glory, film-makers would be lost without a good script written by a talented screenwriter.
What are the greatest screenplays of all time? In a survey of its members carried out in 2005, the Writers Guild of America came up with a list of 101 of the best – here's the top 10:
1. Casablanca
2. The Godfather
3. Chinatown
4. Citizen Kane
5. All About Eve
6. Annie Hall
8. Network
10. Godfather II
You can view the whole list here – while the top 10 featured nothing produced after the 1970s, more recent screenplays in the top 101 included Pulp Fiction, »

Roger Avary On The Possibility Of A Pulp Fiction Prequel
25 February 2013 3:29 PM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Quentin Tarantino says that he has no intentions of becoming an “old director,” which means our time seeing new work from the iconic mind behind Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds, and Django Unchained is likely coming to an end. Now that he’s set his ten film cap, the question everyone wants answered is what exactly will Tarantino’s last couple films be about.
He’s basically ruled out Kill Bill 3, but there have been talks of a film to make a trilogy out of Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained. There’s also the popular rumour of a Pulp Fiction prequel, Vega Brothers.
I was recently at a film festival in Oxford, Mississippi where Roger Avary, Tarantino’s co-writer on Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, was speaking about his recent screenwriting projects. At one point Avary addressed whether he thought Vega Brothers was ever going to happen. He said he doubts »

24 February 2013 8:54 PM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
That's Oscar number two for Quentin Tarantino. The writer/director snagged his second trophy at the 85th Academy Awards, winning Best Original Screenplay for "Django Unchained." He previously won the same award, with Roger Avary, for 1995's for "Pulp Fiction."
Tarantino accepted the award from Dustin Hoffman and Charlize Theron, who happens to be his neighbor. He went on to say the only way anyone will remember his movies is due to the characters he creates, crediting the people he casts for bringing them to life.
When the Academy tried to play him off, Quentin kept on talking. Eventually the music stopped, and he continued. In the end, Tarantino spoke of his fellow nominees, proclaiming this the a "writer's year."
This was the second award for "Django Unchained," as Christoph Waltz won for Best Supporting Actor. »

Pulp Fiction
24 January 2013 6:17 AM, PST | Sky Movies | See recent Sky Movies news »
Quentin Tarantino - who won an Oscar with screenwriting partner Roger Avary - tells three crime stories in one in an unbeatable, out-of-sync compendium overflowing with shocks, laughs and endlessly quotable dialogue. Hitmen John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson riff on fast food and foot massages while cleaning up after their fearsome boss (Ving Rhames) and looking after his coke-snorting wife (Uma Thurman). Boxer Bruce Willis angers the same crimelord before they both find themselves in the clutches of a deviant cop. »
