Judging from the first trailer, Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy should be a welcomed mind-bender when it hits theaters this November. The movie stars Gary Oldman as George Smiley, a former British spy re-enlisted to sniff out a mole in the secret service agency — meaning everyone’s a suspect and the paranoia factor is amped up to 11. Directed by Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In) and based on a novel by famed mystery author John le Carre, Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy co-stars Oscar-winner Colin Firth, Inception‘s Tom Hardy, John Hurt and a handful of other acclaimed British actors. All suspects and all ready to screw with our heads.
The first poster for the movie has popped up online and it’s already scaring the crap out of me. Like Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation, Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy has an obsession with data (as any good spy should) and the poster is indicative of that. In fact, there are even a few clues scattered through the seemingly random collection of letters and numbers that assemble to make Oldman’s face. Below, check out the poster and keep scrolling for a few hidden words that most likely tie directly into the film’s mystery:
“Witchcraft”
“Tinker”
“Circus”
“Hunter”
“Smiley”
“Merlin”
“Agent”
