Now this is truly a stunning cast: director
Tomas Alfredson ("Let the Right One In") has signed
Ralph Fiennes, Colin Firth, Gary Oldman and
Michael Fassbender for his new movie "
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy". The film will be an espionage thriller based
on the 1974 best seller penned by
John le Carré. The story takes place during the aftermath of the Cold War and revolves around a spy hunter working within the highest echelons of the British Secret Intelligence Service. Back in the 1970s' BBC had a TV series starring
Alec Guinness based on the same novel. "
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" is scheduled to premiere in 2012.

Gary Oldman is brilliant in everything!
ReplyDeleteLove the new layout Dezz! :)
I used to like John Le Carre stuff. And with the current Russian spy stuff in the news here in the U.S. maybe the issue will be topical again.

@Alex and Avalon
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd like Oldman and Firth :)
@Michele
Amazing, yes?
@Kristin
thanks, Kristin, I was changing the design last two days, but I think this one is the keeper :) because it accentuates the middle bar while also giving place for two sidebars. I've also modernized the topic banner as well :) And I see I started a trend - with you and Falen doing the redesign as well :))
@Arlee
Agreed, Arlee, these spies in the news stories will bring up the trend of spies on film as well. There is already a bunch of spy and secret agent TV shows being prepared for the Autumn.
@Avalon
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing it's THE SEEKER :)))
@Dezmond, Of course.
ReplyDeleteThis cast is awesome.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have a blog award for you.
@Medeia
ReplyDeleteoh, thanks Medeia, I shall come over immediately as soon as I put on my tuxedo to receive the award appropriately :)
