Just yesterday afternoon I sat down for a 22-minute chat with Graham Moore, screenwriter of The Imitation Game. I’ll be posting that interview soon enough, but for today I have a new trailer for the upcoming movie centered on the life and accomplishments of Alan Turing, played spectacularly by Benedict Cumberbatch. I caught the movie at the Toronto Film Festival where it won the People’s Choice Award and in my “A-” review I wrote:
Using these three narratives, [director Morten Tyldum] grants us access to specific turning points in Turing’s life with Benedict Cumberbatch inhabiting the genius mathematician and cryptographer with what may be the best performance of his career. In a film entrenched in secrets, Cumberbatch is forced to play things close to the vest, though Turing isn’t without his eccentricities. Both antisocial and straight forward, there are a range of emotions and character peculiarities Cumberbatch must manage without taking it too far and that could have happened so easily.

The Imitation Game begins playing in limited theaters on November 28, watch the new trailer below.
