The new poster for Morten Tyldum’s film The Imitation Game starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley lands.

Benedict Cumberbatch

It’s big, it’s beautiful and it’s Benedict Cumberbatch fronting the new poster for THE IMITATION GAME.

The highly anticipated film opened the record breaking 58th London Film Festival, with the two stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley pulling in the crowds despite the horrendous weather.

Of course there is a lot of media hype surrounding this film and understandably so, with many predicting an Oscar or two awarded to the film.

Both Cumberbatch and Knightley are superbly supported by Matthew Goode, Mark Strong, Rory Kinnear, Charles Dance, Allen Leech and Matthew Beard. The film offers a dramatic portrayal of the life and work of Alan Turing, one of Britain’s most extraordinary unsung heroes, and one of the world’s greatest innovators.

The pioneer of modern-day computing, Alan Turing is credited with cracking the German Enigma code and the film is a “nail-biting race against time by Turing and his brilliant team at Britain’s top-secret code-breaking centre, Bletchley Park, during the darkest days of World War II.” Turing, whose contributions and genius significantly shortened the war, saving thousands of lives, was the eventual victim of an unenlightened British Establishment, but his work and legacy live on. Norwegian filmmaker Morten Tyldum (Headhunters) is directing from a screenplay by Graham Moore, based on the book “Alan Turing: The Enigma” by Andrew Hodges.

THE IMITATION GAME is set for release November 14th in the UK and November 21st in the US.
