Benedict Cumberbatch is his name, and was recently linked to being cast in the next Star Trek film (deal may have been finalized this weekend for all I know). He'll also be heard in the Hobbitt, so the cross-promotion with Sherlock continues (Martin Freeman being young Bilbo and Spock quoted Holmes in Star Trek VI).
David ________________________________ From: PGage <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Movie Review: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Finally got to see this yesterday, and yes, I did love it, pretty much agreeing with Adam and Michael in this thread on all counts. I have not seen all of the Oscar-bait yet, but Oldman is my favorite for best actor this year (though Alec will always be the real Smiley for me). I did see it with my 21 year old daughter, who lives good films but did not read the books or see the earlier mini-series. Talking with her after I can see why Kevin and others might feel like there was problem with character development - she had trouble really telling the 5 main possibles apart, and understanding what their unique qualities and relationships were, something that is obviously more clear in the novel and mini-series. My daughter does love the actor who plays Sherlock (with the adorable name I can't think of now) so she was happy enough to see the film. The mini-series is available at Netflix, but not to streamers. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
