In a couple of weeks The Man Who Knew Infinity will arrive in UK cinemas. Dev Patel leads the impressive cast of the film, which also features legendary actor Jeremy Irons who seems to be having a good run of things recently following his appearances in this week’s High-Rise, and the huge Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice next week where he plays the iconic role of Bruce Wayne’s butler, Alfred.
Devika Bhise, Stephen Fry and Toby Jones also star.
The Man Who Knew Infinity arrives on April 8th, 2016 in the UK. Here’s the story.
Colonial India, 1913. Srinavasa Ramanujan (Dev Patel) is a 25-year-old shipping clerk and self-taught genius, who failed out of college due to his near-obsessive, solitary study of mathematics. Determined to pursue his passion despite rejection and derision from his peers, Ramanujan writes a letter to G. H. Hardy (Jeremy Irons), an eminent British mathematics professor at Trinity College, Cambridge. Hardy recognizes the originality and brilliance of Ramanujan’s raw talent and despite the skepticism of his colleagues, undertakes bringing him to Cambridge so that his theories can be explored.
The Man Who Knew Infinity is the improbable true story of a unique genius whose pivotal theories propelled him from obscurity into a world in the midst of war, and how he fought tirelessly to show the world the magic of his mind.
Here’s that new poster. You can watch a clip from the film over here.
