This film is schedule for release in June 2012, two months in the future as I write this. I have no inside information but the blurb for the trailer (see below) says:

(quoted from Travelling Salesman)

Travelling Salesman is an intellectual thriller about four of the world's smartest mathematicians hired by the U.S. government to solve the most elusive problem in computer science history — P vs. NP. The four have jointly created a "system" which could be the next major advancement for humanity or the downfall of society.
