I was really hoping that the first trailer for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy would be up at Apple on top of being on YouTube, where I first watched it this morning, because there are so many lush shots in it that the desire to screen-cap it is rending my insides apart. I mean, director Tomas Alfredson's Let the Right One In was a gorgeous affair so I don't know why I'm surprised. Alas, it is not up at Apple or in HD anywhere, and capping it from YouTube quality's kinda pointless. So for now, just watch it here (via):

The colors! That washed-out 70s feel, uhh, it's giving me happy heart palpitations. It's shot by the same DP as Let the Right One In, Hoyt Van Hoytema; he also shot The Fighter last year. A couple of the shots wouldn't really work as screen-caps anyway, you need to see them in motion with the sound - that shot of the plane coming up behind Gary Oldman! The shot of the blood spreading across the red carpet! Love. Love this trailer. I was looking forward to this movie in a vague sense because of Alfredson and Tom Hardy and the rest of the cast but I just got a hardcore injection of enthusiasm here.

Oh my god the voices! They could play that trailer without pictures and I'd still be excited.
This really is an excellent trailer all around. Super psyched!
And given the intense undercurrent of repressed homoeroticism in the book (which is fantastic, by the way), there are even more reasons to be excited for the movie.
I've watched this trailer at least 5 times already. cannot wait.
