For James McAvoy, those rumors include playing Bilbo Baggins in Guillermo del Toro's The Hobbit, and a more recent rumor that he's going to star as Ian Fleming in a biopic that Animus Films is developing.
But according to McAvoy, it's all rumors and nothing more. Regarding the Ian Fleming movie, McAvoy says he read the script a long time ago but he never spoke with the producers, so he doesn't know where the story originates from. He also denies The Hobbit story.

Frodo was 50 in LOTR, but Elijah was the perfect age to portray him. Hobbits age more slowly than humans. McAvoy would have been a good pick, but I think they're looking for a lesser known actor.

No because of his age particularly. Bilbos 50. So they need an older Hobbit. But I think he'd make a great Fleming.

Lame. I think McAvoy would be a great Bilbo.
