Benedict Cumberbatch cast in new mini-series

British actor Benedict Cumberbatch is set to reunite with Tomas Alfredson, his director from Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy for a new mini-series. Titled, How to Stop Time, the six-part mini-series is based on Matt Haig’s novel of the same name. The plot is said to be a love story set against the backdrop of a sci-fi fantasy setting where the lead character suffers from a rare disease which causes him to age incredibly slowly. The series will commence production next year in London.
