We have seen quite a few John le Carré novels adapted for the big screen in recent years, and Our Kind of Traitor is the latest.

Our Kind of Traitor

Our Kind of Traitor is another political thriller from the much-loved writer and has been adapted for the big screen by Hossein Amini, who penned the scripts for Drive, Snow White and the Huntsman and The Two Faces of January.

The movie will mark the return of Susanna White to the director's chair for her first feature film since Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang. She has been working in TV in recent years with the likes of Parade's End under her belt.

We are going to have to wait until May until the film is released, but the brand new trailer and a selection of images have been released. Check them out:

We are big fans of Ewan McGregor here at FemaleFirst and the actor is set to take on the central role of Perry Makepeace in the film.

A terrific cast has been assembled as Damian Lewis, Stellan Skarsgard, Naomie Harris, Saskia Reeves, and Alicia von Rittberg will all star alongside McGregor.

While on holiday in Marrakech, an ordinary English couple, Perry (McGregor) and Gail (Harris), befriend a flamboyant and charismatic Russian, Dima (Skarsgård), who unbeknownst to them is a kingpin money launderer for the Russian mafia. When Dima asks for their help to deliver classified information to the British Secret Services, Perry and Gail get caught in a dangerous world of international espionage and dirty politics.

The couple is propelled on a perilous journey through Paris and Bern, a safe house in the French Alps, to the murky corners of the City of London and an alliance with the British Government via a ruthless and determined MI6 agent (Lewis).

I have been a huge fan of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, The Constant Gardener and A Most Wanted Man and Our Kind of Traitor is promising to be another great le Carré adaptation that is not to be missed this spring.

Our Kind of Traitor is released 6th May.
