You just can’t get away from David Warner. Whether you’re watching an episode of Babylon 5 or hearing his voice as Ra’s al Ghul in Batman: The Animated Series, there’s a ubiquity to David Warner that all true fans of superheroes, science fiction, and fantasy know without thinking about it. Yes, Warner did a lot of work that wasn’t sci-fi or fantasy, but his omnipresence within those genres is partly what made him so beloved. Warner passed away recently at the age of 80, and because he’s been in soooo many things we’ve all loved, it feels difficult to accept that he’s gone.
It would be impossible to list every single one of Warner’s projects, so instead here is a curated David Warner movie marathon, highlighting some of his greatest sci-fi and fantasy hits, and a few deep cuts you may not have seen.

If you know the name James Bond, you likely know the name Ian Fleming, too.
All the "official" movies about licensed-to-kill Agent 007 note his creator, the novelist whose experiences as a World War II naval intelligence officer informed the spy's adventures. His story has been told before - as in the 1990 TV movie "Spymaker: The Secret Life of Ian Fleming," which starred Bond portrayer Sean Connery's son Jason - but it's revisited in the four-part BBC America miniseries "Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond," which starts a weekly run Wednesday, Jan. 29.
Dominic Cooper ("Captain America: The First Avenger," "Mamma Mia!") plays Fleming as an adventurous, romantic pseudo-Bond. "It's really hard to go back and remember what you knew and what you learned doing the job," Cooper tells Zap2it. "I knew that kind of iconic image of him smoking a cigarette, and what he had done and achieved.

Real life couple James McAvoy and wife Anne-Marie Duff may be cast as Mr. and Mrs. Ian Fleming.
Actor James McAvoy appears close to signing to play James Bond creator Ian Fleming in a biopic set to start shooting later this year.
