The Thick Of It star will play crooked media tycoon Robert Maxwell in the biographical film, which tells the true story of when Henk Rogers (played by Taron Egerton) discovered the video game TETRIS in 1998. The film follows the Dutch video game designer as he "risks everything by traveling to the Soviet Union, where he joins forces with inventor Alexey Pajitnov (Nikita Efremov) to bring the game to the masses," according to the synopsis.

Roger looks completely transformed in his new role, which required him to spend four hours in the makeup chair to get into character.
The Murder in Provence star appeared on ITV's Lorraine last year to chat about the part, explaining how the prosthetics helped him in his portrayal of the disgraced media mogul. "I'm very glad that the film wasn't about Robert Maxwell because I don't think I would have survived getting up at four in the morning to have all that put on every day," he said.
