Legendary Black List

The incredibly true, yet largely unknown story of British cryptanalyst Alan Turing spread like wildfire among the Hollywood community in December of 2011. It was then that Graham Moore’s nascent screenplay illuminating Turing’s life, THE IMITATION GAME, placed first on the legendary Black List – Hollywood executives’ ranking of the most-liked yet still unproduced screenplays.

Teddy Schwarzman, head of film production and financing company Black Bear Pictures, was hooked at first read. "It was a real page-turner, but so dense, so rich with historical significance, with a riveting, misunderstood protagonist. It was a script where you very clearly saw the movie and it was written in a very intelligent way, with highly stylized dialogue, but never putting anything at the forefront other than the characters." Schwarzman knew it would fit perfectly into Black Bear’s canon: original, engaging and complex character-driven stories such as their recently acclaimed ALL IS LOST, starring Robert Redford.

Legend of Father of Computer

THE IMITATION GAME is a dramatic portrayal of the life and work of one of Britain's most extraordinary unsung heroes, Alan Turing.  Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley star as Turing and his ally and fellow code-breaker Joan Clarke, alongside a top-notch cast, including Matthew Goode, Mark Strong, Rory Kinnear, Charles Dance, Allen Leech and Matthew Beard.

Norwegian filmmaker Morten Tyldum, 2012 BAFTA nominee for "Headhunters", directs from a screenplay by Graham Moore, based on the book "Alan Turing: The Enigma" by Andrew Hodges. Black Bear Pictures’ Teddy Schwarzman produces alongside Bristol Automotive’s Nora Grossman and Ido Ostrowsky, with Moore as executive producer and Peter Heslop as co-producer. Behind-the-camera talent includes director of photography Óscar Faura, editor William Goldenberg (Oscar® winner for “Argo”), production designer Maria Djurkovic, costume designer Sammy Sheldon Differ ("Kick-Ass"), hair and make-up designer Ivana Primorac, casting director Nina Gold and composer Alexandre Desplat.

Synopsis

In 1952, British authorities entered the home of mathematician, cryptanalyst and war hero Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) to investigate a reported burglary. They instead ended up arresting Turing himself on charges of ‘gross indecency’, an accusation that would lead to his devastating conviction for the criminal offense of homosexuality – little did officials know, they were actually incriminating the pioneer of modern-day computing. Famously leading a motley group of scholars, linguists, chess champions and intelligence officers, he was credited with cracking the so-called unbreakable codes of Germany's World War II Enigma machine. THE IMITATION GAME follows a genius who under nail-biting pressure helped to shorten the war and, in turn, save thousands of lives.
