THAT
is a hella wacky story.
Sir Ian Fleming.
Also how rude to refer that poor homeless dude as a "wastrel" who'd never accomplished anything in life. How did he eat rat poison??

Netflix pre-bought North American and Latin American rights to stream this move. I think Jason is in it, but I'm not sure how big his role is. He hasn't mentioned it much, only once before he filmed it. I don't know if he actually filmed it, but this says he's in it, and so does his IMDb.

The streamer has pre-bought North America and Latin America rights for around $15 million from The King’s Speech producer See-Saw and Cohen Media Group after seeing footage in recent days.
Now, just buy ot for the rest of the world, and we all will be happy...

I just caught some of the 1956 movie 'The Man that Never Was' based on the story on TV last week and boy was it atmospheric. Looking forward to this.

IMDb lists this as “completed”; however, no release date is given.
Judging from IMDb’s description (
“During WWII, two intelligence officers use a corpse and false papers to outwit German troops.”), this sounds like it could be any genre from war/drama, war/dark comedy, even war/farce.
Jason plays “Admiral
(!!) John Godfrey.”

I hope not, since he’s finally “risen through the ranks”!
(OTOH, to have one of his first Naval roles—if not his very first—as an Admiral is pretty impressive!)

Oh goody! Means I keep having to pay Netflix. I keep looking for a reason to stop paying but Stranger Things and the occasional good movie keeps me in.
