LOS ANGELES, April 11 (UPI) -- Late actor Philip Seymour Hoffman stars in the first official trailer for A Most Wanted Man.

The actor died at age 46 in February, and the role is one of his last on film. Hoffman portrays a German intelligence officer, Günther Bachmann, in the upcoming movie.

A Most Wanted Man is based on the 2008 John le Carré novel of the same name. The story follows Bachmann as he tracks half-Chechen, half-Russian immigrant Issa Karpov (Grigoriy Dobrygin) in Germany.
