Tinker, Tailor Movie!

No, I'm not talking about the 1979 television mini-series. 


Tomas Alfredson, the Swedish director of Let the Right One In, is currently filming a new movie version of Le Carré's Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy. And if IMDB is to be believedLe Carré is one of the writers. 


Normally I don't get excited when I hear one of my favorite books is being made into a movie, but I can't wait to see how this turns out.


It also helps having an amazing cast: 
Gary Oldman as George Smiley

Colin Firth
Tom Hardy as Ricki Tarr
Mark Strong as Jim Prideaux
