Ewan McGregor is caught up in a game of espionage in the first trailer for "Our Kind of Traitor," a new British thriller based on the best-selling spy novel by British author John le Carre (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Constant Gardener, A Most Wanted Man).

Also starring Stellan Skarsgard, Naomie Harris, and Damian Lewis, the film is about an ordinary university professor (McGregor) who, after randomly meeting the number-one money launderer for the Russian mafia (Skarsgard), agrees to act as the middleman in negotiating a deal with the MI6 for a possible defection.

British helmer Susanna White (Nanny McPhee Returns, Boardwalk Empire) directs from an adapted screenplay by acclaimed screenwriter Hossein Amini (The Wings of the Dove, Drive).

"Our Kind of Traitor" will open in the U.K. on May 6th, with a U.S. release to follow at a later date.
