Jared Harris as Professor Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes 2
Professor Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes 2?
That’s an interesting role for somebody like Jared Harris, guy you probably remember from titles like The Riches, Fringe and his role as Lane Pryce on AMC’s Mad Men.
And, he’s also signed co-starring in Tomas Alfredson’s Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, so, as you see – quite busy actor these days…
Harris joins a cast including Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, who are both reprising their roles of Holmes and Watson from Guy Ritchie’s previous installment.

Wow, indeed, because this movie definitely has some serious cast: Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Jared Harris, Ciaran Hinds and Benedict Cumberbatch.
And, a cherry on the top of this cake, Svetlana Khodchenko is also now set for a role as a Russian spy.

Tom Hardy Replacing Michael Fassbender in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
We already wrote about the upcoming spy thriller Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy that has some great cast, and when we say that, we mean: Gary Oldman, Ralph Fiennes and Colin Firth are all in one movie!
We also reported that Michael Fassbender will be the part of the project too, but it looks that Inglourious Basterds star has moved on to X-Men: First Class which just started shooting.
So, now, we’re here for a little update that goes like this: Tom Hardy (Layer Cake, RocknRolla, Bronson, Thick as Thieves, Inception), has stepped into Fassbender’s role.
Or, if you prefer more details, Hardy will play tricky Ricky Tarr, a British operative who is the acquaintance of lead character George Smiley.
Gary Oldman is set to play George in a movie that is actually an adaptation of John Le Carre’s seminal cold war best-seller.
Ralph Fiennes Joins Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
We already told you that this is going to be something awesome! Too bad if you didn’t trust us, because today we are here again to talk about Tomas Alfredson‘s upcoming adaptation of John Le Carré‘s best-selling spy thriller Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, and we have a huge casting update for you guys!
Ralph Fiennes will join this project, which already includes great names: Colin Firth, Gary Oldman and Michael Fassbender!
Set in the aftermath of the cold war, the thriller tells the tale of a spy-hunt within the highest echelons of the British Secret Intelligence Service:
“The enduring novel by one of the greatest storytellers follows George Smiley, who is a troubled man of infinite compassion, and also a single-mindedly ruthless adversary as a spy.
The scene which he enters is a Cold War landscape of moles and lamplighters, scalp-hunters and pavement artists, where men are turned, burned or bought for stock. Smiley’s mission is to catch a Moscow Centre mole burrowed thirty years deep into the Circus itself.”
