Benedict Cumberbatch had some significant words to say about Alan Turing.
We can't describe how much we're looking forward to war drama 'The Imitation Game', but lead actor Benedict Cumberbatch has some important words to say about playing the remarkable computer pioneer Alan Turing.
Benedict Cumberbatch plays Alan Turing in 'The Imitation Game'
Five years ago, an official apology was finally issued by the British government regarding the appalling treatment of Alan Turing following his victory in cracking Germany's Enigma Code during World War II. On discovering that he was having a homosexual relationship, he was prosecuted by the courts and ultimately given treatment designed to reduce his ability to have sexual relationships. Now, decades on, his legacy is brought back in film, with the extraordinary Benedict Cumberbatch in the role, who's more than grateful for such an opportunity.

'To be doing my job, let alone to then be asked to play such a phenomenal human being, a true English hero, is a great honour and it comes with a responsibility', he said at the BFI London Premiere of the movie. 'His legacy is very precious to me so I really hope we've done him justice and that this brings his story and achievements to a wider audience.'
