John Le Carre has cameo in new TTSS film adaptation

[karadinart]

" Le Carré has now also seen the new film and graciously admitted: "Through my very personal prism, it is a triumph. And if people write to me and say, 'How could you let this happen to poor Alec Guinness,' I shall reply that, if 'poor Alec' had witnessed Oldman's performance, he would have been the first to give it a standing ovation. I'm very proud to have provided Alfredson with the material, but what he made of it is wonderfully his own."

Oh, that's marvelous to know--I had heard he approved early on, but to hear that (with the Guillam change) is a relief.

well, Ben said he spoke to Le Carre about the characterization (all the actors did) and they all agreed on this adaptation, so I wasn't worried.
