The docu-drama portraying the achievements and downfall of Alan Turing receives its New York and San Francisco premieres in the next few days...

Ed Stoppard impresses in a way he couldn't do in Upstairs Downstairs and Henry Goodman gets to play the nice guy after his more sinister (but extremely effective) portrayals in the OLCs of Assassins and Encore's production of Chicago

I only hope the rumoured Di Caprio portrayal goes half way to achieving what this does. Come to think of it, I'm more excited about Ben Wishaw's portrayal of Q in Skyfall than I am about Di Caprio as Turing.

I prefer these trailers to that on the above link but, hey, what do I know...

I always heard that DiCaprio wants to produce a movie on Alan Turing than star in it. And I'll be a little disappointed if he did end up starring in one, because I don't want such tale to bring out my cynical side thinking that he would only be doing it to get an Oscar.
