Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy : full length trailer

As the weeks go by and more is releaesd for the film the better it starts to look. I have vague memories of the this from the 70s series with Alec Guinness as George Smiley. With this I was concered how Gary Oldman would pull of such an iconic character. Whilst watching the new trailer all my fears have been removed and I think he makes a great George Smiley.

Set in the 1970s, TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY finds George Smiley (Gary Oldman), a recently retired MI6 agent, doing his best to adjust to a life outside the secret service. However, when a disgraced agent reappears with information concerning a mole at the heart of the Circus, Smiley is drawn back into the murky field of espionage. Tasked with investigating which of his trusted former colleagues has chosen to betray him and their country, Smiley narrows his search to four suspects - all experienced, urbane, successful agents - but past histories, rivalries and friendships make it far from easy to pinpoint the man who is eating away at the heart of the British establishment.
