In the first clip Ricki Tarr (Tom Hardy) is recounting what happened after a contact he'd made in Hungary told him there was a Soviet mole in the British intelligence establishment.
In the second Peter Guillam (Benedict Cumberbatch) is dispatched to MI6 headquarters to steal documents for Smiley that are key to his investigation.
For me the original 1979 BBC production is one of the great TV mini-series ever made. It'll be interesting to see if a considerably shorter feature film can stand on its own next to that. Everything I've seen and nearly all the reviews from overseas (where the film is already playing) that I've read look promising. And what a cast! Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, John Hurt, Mark Strong and many others.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy opens December 9th in the US.
