Hardy (THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, INCEPTION), who came aboard replacing the previously attached Michael Fassbender, has been revealed for the first time on set. He plays British agent ‘Ricki Tarr’, seen here sporting a mean wig.
From our last update:
The story – at one point adapted by Peter Morgan with John Le Carré, though now being credited to Bridget O’Connor (SIXTY SIX) and Peter Straughan (THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS) who were presumably brought on at some point to do a rewrite – follows retired intelligence agent George Smiley (Oldman) who’s called back to service when a high-ranking member of MI6 is suspected of being a Soviet mole. The film is based on Le Carré’s first novel of The Karla Trilogy.
TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY is currently filming and is due out next year.
