Sorry -- I have no idea why that was sent before I could add anything. (Also, the affiliation with UC-Berkeley is out of date and I need to delete it permanently.) Wanted to mention that a few years ago I saw (via a special digital showing) an excellent play about Ramanujan & Hardy: "A Disappearing Number". A little actual, coherent mathematics was written on a blackboard, which was nice.

Usually films about mathematicians are terribly inaccurate, and it is unlikely that this will be an exception. At least it will (presumably) bring the existence of Ramanujan to the public's attention, which is undoubtedly a good thing (depending on the portrayal).
Oh, and as for the bits where Ramanujan goes to Cambridge to collaborate with Hardy, I'm safely betting that it won't be filmed inside Trinity...
