While looking forward to this film's release, its production won't be an easy task. I've read the book twice and seen the BBC TV series. Arguably Le Carre's finest novel, the writing is dense and every line of dialog has hidden meaning and nuance. The TV series was six episodes of an hour each, I believe, and it seemed short by half. Alec Guiness' portrayal of Smiley is every bit as iconic as that of Anthony Hopkins' to Mr. Lecter. Consequently, while skeptical, I hope Mr. Alfredson can pull it off and avoid the wrath of the legions of TTSS fans.
