Who’ll play Turing? You do the math

Plans are afoot to develop a film about the legendary British mathematician Alan Turing

Plans are afoot to develop a film about the legendary British mathematician Alan Turing. The Imitation Game is to be adapted from a script by Graham Moore and – if discussions conclude successfully – will feature the only British actor who could possibly pull it off. No, not Danny Dyer. The producers are currently doing everything possible to lure Benedict Cumberbatch towards the role. Having played Stephen Hawking in a fine TV movie, the current Sherlock could hardly be better suited.
