Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy: Meet George Smiley

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is already being called the best UK movie of the year, as well as one of the best to grace the screen in a very long time – and it hasn’t even been released yet.

Yes the John Le Carre book is getting the big screen treatment as the likes of Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom hardy, Mark Strong and John Hurt have banded together to bring the political thriller to life.

This is a movie that I have been banging on for some time and it’s one of the post summer releases that I really have been looking forward to.

The Oscar season starts now, I know it gets earlier every year, as the possible Best Picture movies will begin trickling out over the next five months or so – could this be a contender?

And we have a featurette for you to feast you eyes on as the cast give their thoughts on the central character George Smiley – played by Gary Oldman

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy hits cinemas 16th September

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is set to be one of the best political thrillers of 2011 – and it is a movie that I am super excited about.

Directed by Tomas Alfredson, the man behind Let The Right One In, the movie is a big screen adaptation of the John Le Carre novel of the same name.

Set in the 1970s, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy finds George Smiley (Gary Oldman), a recently retired MI6 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.

Gary Oldman leadsd an all star cast that includes , Kathy Burke, Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Ciarán Hinds, John Hurt, Toby Jones and Mark Strong.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is released 16th September. Take a look at some images from the movie:

This September the adaptation of John le Carré’s novel Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy comes to the big screen – and it is a cast to die for.

Gary Oldman joins forces with Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, John Hury, Ciaran Hinds, Mark Strong and Benedict Cumberbatch in what promises to be one of the best political dramas of the year.

Baghdad 1987, Latif Yahia (Dominic Cooper) is taken to see his former schoolmate Uday (also played by Cooper), eldest son to Saddam Hussein.

Latif is told that a great honour had been bestowed upon him: because of the great likeness between them, he has been chosen to be Uday’s ‘fiday’ – his body double. Trapped, tortured and fearful for the safety of his family Latif has no choice but to comply.

A chilling vision of the House of Saddam Hussein comes to life as Latif is forced to become part of Uday’s world, witness to the horror of his insane life of debauchery, excess and brutality.

A world entrenched in betrayal and corruption and an experience for which he almost pays with his life on more than one occasion.

The Devil’s Double is based on true events.
