Trailer Time: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, starring Gary Oldman and Colin Firth

Times like this I really envy our friends across the pond. You take a number of the best British actors(best actors period) and put them in a potboiler of a spy film, based on John Le Carre's classic Cold War novel Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy, and we have to wait two extra months to see it.  I need to see this film now. Been wanting to ever since it was first announced, and now that the first teaser trailer is out my hands are getting a little twitchy with anticipation...




Even I'm on edge after watching that. Tomas Alfredson(Let the Right One In) is making his English language debut here, and he appears to be bringing the same level of anxiety from his vampire flick and transporting it into the world of MI-6, where a mole needs to be rooted out.  He couldn't have rounded up a better cast: Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Mark Strong are enough to earn this every ensemble acting award on the planet. But then you add Benedict Cumberbatch, Stephen Graham, Toby Jones, John Hurt, and Ciaran Hinds and it's just ridiculous the level of talent involved. 

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy opens here on November 18th, which should put it right in the thick of awards season.
