"When I moved to LA, I got sent a lot of action thrillers, heist movies, superhero pics. Tyldum had just relocated to Hollywood on the heels of a major box-office success with the Norwegian action thriller "Headhunters" ("Hodejegerne") when he first got ahold of Moore's script. Tyldum, who is from Norway, said he knew very little about Turing's story initially: "Which is one of the reasons I became so obsessed with it." The court gave him a choice: Go to prison or remain free but subject himself to chemical castration via hormone injections. A few years earlier, he had been arrested and charged with gross indecency. Turing, who was gay, likely took his own life in 1954. He (gesturing to the film's director, sitting next to him) loves making fun of me for this, he's so happy right now."
