Leonardo DiCaprio To Play Alan Turing?

Posted by Soulskill on from the martin-lawrence-not-available dept.

mikejuk writes "2012 is the one hundredth anniversary of Alan Turing's birth, with many celebration events being planned around the world. This week Warner Bros outbid other companies for the script of a biopic based on Turing's life. The script for The Imitation Game, by first-time screenwriter Graham Moore and based in turn on the biography by Andrew Hodges, Alan Turing: The Enigma, was snapped up by Warner Bros in a 7-figure deal. Right now the leading candidate to portray Turing is Leonardo DiCaprio."

    Ok, where are my mod points. ROFLMFAO woah...

    it just wasn't that funny. it wasn't even clever. it was obvious to anyone who's ever heard of Turing and his work. to anyone else, they didn't get it.

    i never understood why this site loves lame unoriginal obvious predictable humor so damned much. really you think it's the greatest shit ever. maybe you are comforted by the familiar or some shit. maybe when you were an infant Mama didn't give you the titty. i don't fuckin' understand it.

    wake me up when something actually unexpected, clever, witty, and actually creative happens. you wankers.
