6. The Imitation Game
The Imitation Game is a biographical film based on the fascinating but ultimately tragic life of Alan Turing. Set during World War II, the movie will focus on the mathematician and cryptologist who was initially hailed a hero for cracking the Enigma code, but who later found himself persecuted when it was revealed that he was a homosexual.
Led by Benedict Cumberbatch in a performance which early reviews have indicated will see him as a serious awards contender next year, the impressive cast also includes Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Mark Strong and Charles Dance. However, one of the main reasons to be excited about this one is the fact that Morten Tyldum, the man behind the brilliant Norwegian thriller Headhunters, is behind the camera.
