John Orloff has been hired to write Leonardo DiCaprio's Fleming, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The project is a biopic of James Bond creator Ian Fleming, who served as a Naval intelligence officer during World War II and worked as a journalist for Reuters. Fleming released his first Bond novel Casino Royale in 1953 and went on to write 13 more. He also penned the children's book Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

DiCaprio will produce the Warner Bros movie through his Appian Way company. It has also been rumoured that he will take on the role of Fleming.

Orloff recently worked on the Angelina Jolie film A Mighty Heart and is writing Zack Snyder's animated film Guardians Of Ga'Hoole.
