TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY Poster Featuring Benedict Cumberbatch

Another day, another poster. Focus Features has debuted a new poster for the Cold War drama Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy,  which features Benedict Cumberbatch (English film, television, and theatre actor) as Peter Guillam, who is shown through a layer of intricate coding. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is an upcoming film directed by Tomas Alfredson, from a screenplay by Bridget O'Connor and Peter Straughan based on the 1974 novel Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by John le Carré. Along with Cumberbatch the film stars Gary Oldman as George Smiley, Colin Firth as Bill Haydon, Tom Hardy as Ricki Tarr, Mark Strong as Jim Prideaux, and Ciarán Hinds as Roy Bland. Synopsis:

Set in the 1970's, TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY finds George Smiley (Gary Oldman), a recently retired M16 agent, doing his best to adjust to a life outside the secret service. However, when a disgraced agent reappears with information concerning a mole at the heart of the Circus, Smiley is drawn back into the murky field of espionage. Tasked with investigating which of his trusted former colleagues has chosen to betray him and their country, Smiley narrows his search to four suspects – all experienced, urbane, successful agents – but past histories, rivalries and friendships make it far from easy to pinpoint the man who is eating away at the heart of the British establishment.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy will be released in US on November 18, 2011.
