Hollywood to make Alan Turing Biopic

[0iD]

Keira Knightley is in talks to co-star with Benedict Cumberbatch in biopic “The Imitation Game.”
Script topped the 2011 Black List and is based on the life story of mathematician Alan Turing, the genius responsible for cracking the German “Enigma Code” during World War II that helped the Allies stave off defeat, and who would later be prosecuted by Britain in the early 1950s for being a homosexual.

Hmmm. As long as Turing doesn't suddenly manage to transmogtify into an American, in the style of the U559 Enigma story, when given the Hollywood trestment. Hopefully, the reported involvement of Benedict Cumberbatch implies not.
