Mathematician biopic “The Imitation Game” has added one more braniac to its roster. The Daily Mail reports British actor Matthew Goode has joined lead Benedict Cumberbatch as well as Keira Knightley in the WWII-set biopic of tortured genius Alan Turing.
Norwegian director Morten Tyldum is helming the film about British mathematician Turing (Cumberbatch), who helped the Allies defeat the Germans by cracking the enemy’s “Enigma Code” during WWII, but a decade later was prosecuted by his own government for being a homosexual. Rather than take a prison sentence, he chose chemical castration, an act that would lead him into the pits of depression and ultimately suicide. Goode will play fellow code-hacker Hugh Alexander, while Knightley is lining up the role of Joan Clarke, another co-worker who was briefly engaged to Turing before he came out to her.
Goode, who many of us will forever remember for his role opposite Mandy Moore in “Chasing Liberty”, most recently played Mia Wasikowska’s creepy Uncle Charlie in “Stoker.” He’s wrapped indie British period drama “Belle” with Sarah Gadon, Sam Claflin and Gugu Mbatha-Raw as well as the pilot for potential Showtime series “The Vatican” opposite Kyle Chandler. He’s also been cast as the devious George Wickham (“Why not Darcy?” cried millions of girls, or was it just me?) in “Pride and Prejudice”-themed BBC miniseries “Death Comes to Pemberly.”
