Summary
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spyis , undeniably , an underrated motion picture . Although it win the BAFTA Award for Outstanding British Film and received three Oscar nominations , the moving-picture show has not received its due respect in the geezerhood since its press release . Notably , despite dialogue of a sequel since its release in 2011 , the project has seemingly fallen to the wayside , and I ’m a little disquieted by that .
TheCold War spy filmwas based onJohn le Carré ’s 1974 novel of the same name . place in London during the early seventies , the story revolves around a team of British Secret Service agent as they scramble to hound down a Soviet double agent who has infiltrate the way . Le Carré ’s novel was also the basis for the critically acclaimed 1979 BBC tv set series of the same name , with Alec Guinness in the lead role of Smiley . However , while both adaptation are staggeringly enjoyable , I believe thatthe Gary Oldman version remains one of the most underrated mod entries in the entire spy movie musical style .
From Doctor Strange to the Dragon Smaug to his lonely Oscar nomination , here are Benedict Cumberbatch ’s films ranked from worst to skillful .

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Could’ve Had A Sequel, So Why Didn’t It Happen?
A Sequel Most Likely Won’t Happen
It ’s baffling to me thatTinker Tailor Soldier Spynever got a continuation . Not only was it a critical and commercial-grade succeeder , butthe novel the film was based on is only the first of Le Carré’sSmiley Versus Karlatrilogy . The second and third leger in the series areThe Honourable Schoolboy(1977 ) andSmiley ’s People(1979 ) , severally . This means that there is no paucity of fabric that could be pull for a subsequence .
FromTinker Tailor Soldier Spy ’s 2011 release to December 2021 , rumors circulated that a subsequence was in the works , although it was unidentified if the continuation would be based onThe Honourable SchoolboyorSmiley ’s the great unwashed . Unfortunately , in 2021 , it was discover that the rightfield to theSmiley Versus Karlatrilogy had reverted to Le Carré ’s land . This signify that , now , a sequel to the acclaimed undercover agent pic is unlikely . However , that ’s not going to stop me from holding out hope for a long - awaited subsequence .
