As a fan of mysteries, especially Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle... I don't know about this movie. I loved Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett as Holmes, and I think RDJ is a great actor... but Sherlock Holmes is not an action hero or superhero or whatever he looks like he's supposed to be from the trailer. Yeah, he could box and fence in the stories, but this doesn't look much like Holmes to me.

I'll still see the movie though, since I am a Holmes fan. I realize that trailers will never show a guy sitting around smoking his pipe and playing the violin. Of course they want the trailer to be as action-packed and fast-paced as possible. I just don't know how much I'll like the movie if it resembles the trailer all the way through.

...

Why is it that people always say stuff like that if the actor isn't actually british? Sigh. Why would Guy Ritchie (a Brit himself) accept RDJ for the role if he didn't think the accent was good?

SDCC: Sherlock footage reveals a different detective

Even before Megan Fox finished taking photos at the end of Warner Brothers' presentation for Jonah Hex, Robert Downey Jr. bounded out on stage past the starlet to the surprise - and eventually, excited applause of the crowd in Hall H to begin the panel for Sherlock Holmes. Downey, whose turn in last year's Iron Man made him the darling of genre fans everywhere, bowed to the packed hall before screening a clip from the film, which is due out later this year.

Critic: 'Gay Sherlock Holmes won't work'

Film critic Michael Medved has claimed that a gay version of Sherlock Holmes will not be "appealing" to cinema audiences.

Director Guy Ritchie reportedly wrote the characters of Holmes and his sidekick Watson as gay in his remake of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle detective story.

Star Robert Downey Jr recently explained that he and co-star Jude Law (Watson) share "circumstantial homosexuality" in the upcoming film.

However, Medved said that the actors are playing up the angle for the sake of generating controversy, the New York Post reports.

He told the newspaper: "There's not a seething, bubbling hunger to see straight stars impersonating homosexuals. I think they're just trying to generate controversy."

He added: "They know that making Holmes and Watson homosexual will take away two-thirds of their box office. Who is going to want to see Downey Jr and Law make out?

"I don't think it would be appealing to women. Straight men don't want to see it."

Sherlock Holmes will open in cinemas on December 26.

^^ I'd like to point out that Michael Medved is a known conservative commentator who has guest-hosted for Rush Limbaugh about 30x and is a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute (the place that pushes Intelligent Design as 'fact'). He also rarely has a positive review about anything; some of his writing credits include 'The Fifty Worst Films of All Time', 'The Golden Turkey Awards' and 'The Hollywood Hall of Shame.' I don't think anyone should be terribly surprised if he has his knickers in a knot over anything he perceives to be the slightest bit less-than-straight; but I think it's only fair to wait and see just what the truth of the matter is.


That said, the fact that Rachel McAdams is in this means I am SOLD on it already

Pitt to play 'Holmes' villain Moriarty?

Brad Pitt is reportedly reuniting with director Guy Ritchie to play Professor Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes.

According to The Mirror, Warner Bros executives asked Ritchie to place the character in the movie after Holmes's arch nemesis was absent from the initial cut. Ritchie recruited his Snatch star for the part and will allegedly film Pitt's scenes this week in the UK.

"It's a huge coup to have Brad joining the cast," a source said. "He has worked for Guy before and said if he could, he would do anything to help out. It was an oversight in the film not to make a bigger deal about Moriarty. He is mentioned as Holmes's arch enemy, but the bosses wanted Guy to make more of him."

Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law have already filmed their scenes, but may be asked back for the ten days of additional shooting with Pitt.
