Today Empire Online reported on the latest casting developments for Director Tomas Aldreson’s remake of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy based on the classic espionage novel by former MI5 and MI6 operative John Le Carre.

Many cinephiles and fangaholics lapped up the Swedish filmmakers poetic getting of wisdom vampire entry Let the Right One In and ever since have been eagerly gnawing on throats in anticipation of his next project.

With pre production moving along, the first name attached was the former Dracula, lord of bloodsuckers Gary Oldman. Now word comes that Ralph Fiennes, star of The Constant Gardener based on another Le Carre work has signed on. Joining him are Inglorious Basterd Michael Fassbender and Single Man Colin Firth.

Previously adapted as a successful 1979 British TV miniseries Directed by John Irvin (The Dogs of War, City of Industry) and starring Jedi master Alec Guiness, improving on the original is going to require stealth, cunning and covert tactics.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy tells the story of a retired Intelligence agent George Smiley, whose tenacious and perceptive talents have served him well. Called back into active duty he is recruited to hunt down a Russian mole that has infiltrated the highest levels of the Secret Service.

Taking the jargon littered source and writing for the screen is Frost/Nixon and The Last King of Scotland scribe Peter Morgan.

Still in the early stages of development and scheduled for a 2012 release nothing more is known yet, but expect John Doe to be on top of behind the scenes, trailer and poster news as it emerges.
