Of course, denials and trickery are all part of the game when it comes to keeping movie details secret, so take this information with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Cumberbatch, the actor spoke a bit about his personal life, revealing the importance of family to him. &#8220;My parents are over the moon [about his success].
