The Imitation Game, the highly anticipated biopic about British computing pioneer Alan Turing, will open the 58th BFI London Film Festival on October 8 with a premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square.
The film stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Turing, whose work cracking the German Enigma code during World War II is credited with shortening the war and saving thousands of lives. Keira Knightley co-stars as fellow code breaker Joan Clarke, with Matthew Goode, Mark Strong, Allen Leech, Rory Kinnear, Charles Dance and Matthew Beard rounding out the cast. The Imitation Game is directed by Norwegian director Morten Tyldum, and is based on the book “Alan Turing: The Enigma” by Andrew Hodges.
