Benedict Cumberbatch’s next big role might be as Alan Turing

This falls within the kingdom of strong rumor , but it ’s an exciting rumour all the same . Deadlineis account that Benedict Cumberbatch is “ in cryptical conversations ” to wreak cryptanalyst and electronic computer scientist Alan Turing in the biopic The Imitation Game , a handwriting from the 2011 Black List . Will Cumberbatch make the jump from dally a literary genius to playing a historic one ?

Graham Moore ’s hand for The Imitation Game has already been buzz about as an Oscar lock , and originally Warner Bros. peck it up with designs on lay Leonardo DiCaprio in the starring role . Teddy Schwarzman ’s Black Bear Pictures of late acquired the script and bless on Headhunters director Morten Tyldum .

Carson Reeves has a breakdown of the script over at ScriptShadow , and he ’s impressed . Most of the film focuses on Turing ’s work cracking the Enigma Code , but it also derail between Turing ’s younker and his family relationship with Christopher Morcom and the 1950s , when the sanction memorise that Turing is gay ( although one of Reeves ’ complaints about the handwriting is that it does n’t focalize enough on Turing ’s sexuality ) . After seeing Cumberbatch ’s turn as Sherlock Holmes , it would be interesting to see him play a different variety of problem solver , one who localise his attentions on engineering , and the chroma of his rarefied human relationships .
