Here is the Amazon description of the novel:
John le Carré’s classic novels deftly navigate readers through the intricate shadow worlds of international espionage with unsurpassed skill and knowledge and have earned him — and his hero, British Secret Service agent George Smiley — unprecedented worldwide acclaim.
A modern masterpiece in which le Carré expertly creates a total vision of a secret world, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy begins George Smiley’s chess match of wills and wits with Karla, his Soviet counterpart.
It is now beyond doubt that a mole, implanted decades ago by Moscow Centre, has burrowed his way into the highest echelons of British Intelligence. His treachery has already blown some of its most vital operations and its best networks. It is clear that the double agent is one of its own kind. But which one? George Smiley is assigned to identify him. And once identified, the traitor must be destroyed.

Okay…Goosebumps. Oh please let this be Gary Oldman’s A Single Man!!!
If he doesn’t get at least an Oscar nomination this year, I don’t know if he ever will.
Loved the first trailer even though you couldn’t tell what was going on:P Love this one even more!
I’m actually reading the book now so it helps to have a face to go with a name. Wonder if they’ll make the Karla trilogy if this one does well.
Also, if anyone hasn’t seen Benedict Cumberbatch in the Sherlock miniseries it is an exceptional modern take on Sherlock Holmes. Highly recommended!!
How’s the book? Would you recommend it?
I agree with 100% on that, to bad it was just 3 episodes, and not a few more to get immersed in.
Man, this looks really good. Oldman looks like he’s going for the Oscar. Give it to him!
I can’t believe the man doesn’t even have a nomination with his fantastic body of work.
Poor Gary Oldman, he’s so much more talented than many who have won Oscars, how is it he’s never even been nominated? They’re giving an honorary Oscars to Oprah for crying out loud!
I’m pretty stoked that I’m actually going to be able to watch this in theaters. This looks awesome.
Yay, another new trailer already. I simply can’t wait to see this one, been waiting for quite a while. That poster is pretty cool, too. Don’t get me started about the Oscar thing, seriously, give Gary Oldman his due!
When I was at the book store the other day, I found a ‘pocket edition’ of this book. I swear, it was like 10cm by 15cm or something…and it was the whole book! Haha, I might get around to reading it one day.
But this movie looks seriously awesome. The cast is freaking awesome, and so is the director. I smell Oscar…
this is one I am really looking forward to seeing. I think there is a panel concerning the film next week at Big Screen…I will let you know!

That’s the best trailer I’ve seen in a while.
I think this film is well on it’s way to becoming my most anticipated of the rest of the year, and could easily end up being my favourite of the year.
I do love the books, and the cast is absolutely amazing. I can’t wait!
It’s a more narrative trailer but the effect is still there and good. Happy that Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy have bigger roles than I previously expected. I want to know the girl’s name, this is important.
