I went through a Le Carre spell where I read all his books. Smiley is one of the great characters of the spy genre and TTSS is a pretty good story. The miniseries is worth a watch though, like the book, it's a bit muddled. This story is 100% Cold War, which ended over 20 years ago, so the kids may not get it. But there's a lot of potential, especially if the polish the story a bit, so I'll certainly be checking it out. Thanks for the heads up.

Looks really good cant wait til it comes out.

I very much like the original, this looks just as good...if not better!
This looks like how a reboot should be done. No heavy dependance on CGI, just good actors and good writing!

A pity the production budget couldn't stretch to some decent wigs ........

Another amazing trailer. This one's up there on my must-see list this year.

I'm sure the kids will be entirely disinterested, either way.

And the film hasn't been watered down to get the friendlier rating: It's rated R in the USA and a '15' cert in the UK, so hopefully this will mean more adults and less kids in the theater.

USA: Rated R for

UK: [The film was classified '15' for]

I'm just sad that I have to wait until November 18th to see it over here. It will be out September 16th in the UK.

I haven't been this excited for a film getting a wide American release in a long while. I ordered the new UK DVD set of the Smiley BBC miniseries with Alec Guinness as I have yet to see them--hopefully, that should be enough to tide me over until the film version.

Philby was a triple agent causing so much angst they had to invent George.

It's not been posted yet in here so I thought I'll all tell you the film has been pushed back a month into December to hit the Oscar audience more
