Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
Gary Oldman says a sequel to the 2011 movie is a possibility. “I loved playing George in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. It’s on the cards and I know John Le Carre is very keen to do Smiley’s People. It could be a five, even a 10-year break – the years pass between the middle book (The Honourable Schoolboy) and the last one (Smiley’s People) anyway. But we’ll do one, I hope. I miss him. I love George.” (Total Film)
