Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a title that I will never remember

But everything else tells me that I will definitely remember the content of it. This is what my e-mail says about it:
John Le’s classic tale of treachery and espionage, directed by Tomas Alfredson, features a stellar cast including Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Kathy Burke, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ciarán Hinds, John Hurt, Toby Jones, Simon McBurney, David Dencik, Roger Lloyd Pack, Stephen Graham, Svetlana Khodchenkova, Konstantin Khabensky and Mark Strong. The must-see big-screen version of John Le Carré’s best-selling Cold War novel, TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY, set in the 1970s, 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.

I mean, look at the cast! It's like they know they are getting Academy Awards nominations for it.
And even the poster...

is like the child of The Social Network poster with letters all around it with Inception poster with Tom Hardy looking on the side (or any other Oscar nominated film).

Shall we wait for more or put in on the list already?
