Thank you Marta I'll definately give it a try before I watch the film. It seems I've got time until November.

I learn physics too and it is really hard. I find mathematics much easier - and much more interesting

I'll stay with animal anatomy - easier November? I'm afraid we'll have to wait until January or February like rest of the Europe T.T

My thoughts exactly. And now I only need a German release at the same time (like they did with TFE).

I wonder if this film will be on Polish cinemas? I seriously doubt it...

...While sellers occasionally show extended post-production footage to boost presales, creating the 15-minute reel on the Alan Turing biopic “The Imitation Game” was “more like cutting a short film,” says FilmNation’s Baker.The reel excised subplots and focused on the film’s WWII-era section, which featured star Benedict Cumberbatch’s most powerful moments.“We knew we had this incredible performance from Benedict, and Keira (Knightley) for that matter, so we tried to cut something with an awards feel, showcasing the emotional arc of the characters.

It was about our buyers having an emotional response”The gambit worked — the Weinstein Co. bought U.S. rights for a whopping $7 million.“They need the commitment from us that were going to deliver something that’s going to work for them commercially,” Jones notes. “The more they know, and the more they have an early influence on that process, the more confidence they’re going to have.”

Thank you very much. This make me even more excited for his performance. Although I am quite sure that his post-war moments will be as powerful regarding the tragic events.

I hope this film makes it to Denmark sometime... it sounds so exciting and I have the best feeling Ben is going to wow me once again!

Excited and nervous about this!
I really hope it's as good as it's being reported to be...I usually wait to watch Movies on DVD or TV but I think I'll catch this one while it's at the cinema.

So the German rights have been sold. I hope this means we get a release date soon.
