Fan Casting Bond 26: Ouroboros

Charlie Sinclair, a British screenwriter, is tasked with writing the new James Bond film. But as he develops the script, the events he imagines begin to come to life. A new global threat emerges: Solomon Drake, a former spy turned terrorist, who seems to know MI6’s every move in advance. When Sinclair discovers he’s being followed and spied on, he begins to suspect that his film might not be fiction after all: it could be a covert war strategy. As the line between reality and narrative blurs, Sinclair finds himself caught in a real espionage mission, teamed up with Kate Dawson, an agent who might protect him... or manipulate him. Meanwhile, the new 007, Alex Mercer, is on Drake’s trail, but he, too, starts to question his own existence: is he a man, or just a character written by someone else? In the final climax, Sinclair realizes that he’s not just writing Bond’s story—he’s rewriting reality itself. The question is: who’s pulling the strings? And more importantly, if the world is just a script, who wrote it in the first place?
