New Character Portraits From Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

New Character Portraits From Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

Cinema Teaser (via Dark Horizons) has debuted five new promotional images from Tomas Alfredson's new feature version of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, based on the seminal spy novel by John Le Carré. The images amount to character portraits of key characters George Smiley (Gary Oldman), Peter Guillam (Benedict Cumberbatch), Control (John Hurt), Percy Alleline (Toby Jones) and Toby Esterhase (David Dencik). While I still wish Oldman had put on a big more weight to play the pudgy Smiley of the books (he looks a little bit too cool for Smiley here), they all look great—like they could have stepped out of a stuffy, smoke-filled Whitehall office building in the mid-Seventies. Which is perfect!
