SHERLOCK HOLMES

The world’s most brilliant mind has met his match

By the way, Sherlock Holmes isn’t doing kung-fu, karate or anything like that: he’s doing his own thing, it’s called bartitsu. You may consider bartitsu as a kind of MMA from a century ago.
:)

Two TV clips of Sherlock Holmes have popped up online:

Robert Downey Jr makes a crazy Sherlock Holmes! But I don’t mind Guy Ritchie’s take on the detective: the character created by Conan Doyle needed to be revamped!
:)

Robert Downey Jr is a rather handsome man, but someone felt that his face had to be photoshopped for this new poster of Sherlock Holmes:

I bet that lot of people will be interested in buying Sherlock Holmes’ glasses after watching the movie! Well I know I’d be happy to have the same. Anybody knows the brand of of the glasses Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) is wearing?

Rachel McAdams as Adler – Sherlock Holmes Movie

Dangerously alluring!

In Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes Irene Adler calls Sherlock Holmes to her help.

A new cut of the Sherlock Holmes trailer has shown up:

Robert Downey Jr. seems to really enjoy his role as Sherlock Holmes.

Take a look to those two new posters of Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes:

Criminals can’t sleep when Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are around!
;-)

Two new pictures of Sherlock Holmes, Guy Ritchie’s take on the famous detective create by Conan Doyle:

Rachel McAdams plays the role of Irene Adler, a femme fatale from New Jersey who once outwitted Holmes, earning his grudging respect. In the film, Adler is no longer married to Godfrey Norton and needs Holmes’ help for the case. Downey convinced Ritchie to cast McAdams, arguing she would not look too young to be his love interest.

No direct link between those two pictures, but I can but think of R. Kelly song: Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) is gonna stick his key in Irene Adler’s ignition (Rachel McAdams)!
;-P

Director Guy Ritchie is bringing a brand new version of Sherlock Holmes with his latest movie. The film is starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law respectively as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

Here below the first official Sherlock Holmes trailer:

Now I understand why RDJ was chosen to play as Sherlock Holmes instead of Jude Law: RDJ is perfect for this somewhat clownish version of Sherlock Holmes. I mean easier to laugh with RDJ than with Jude Law… No offense Jude!
Guy Ritchie’s movie isn’t your grandfather’s Sherlock Holmes but I bet that the new generations will love it!
:)

Take a look at Mark Strong as Lord Blackwood in this new photo of the Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes:

Lord Blackwood is the villain of the story, the evil mastermind Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) will have to defeat.

Mark Strong said about his role:

“He needed to have an element of showmanship about him by virtue of the fact that he’s trying to persuade everyone around him that he’s so in league with the Devil that he’s able to conquer death. I just wanted to make him an equal adversary of Sherlock Holmes.”

Here some more pictures of Sherlock Holmes:

Plot:
“Detective Sherlock Holmes (Downey Jr.) and his stalwart partner Watson (Law) engage in a battle of wits and brawn with a nemesis whose plot is a threat to all of England.”

This is not going to be your grandfather’s Sherlock Holmes!
:)

Director Guy Ritchie is trying to forget Madonna by working hard on his own movie adaptation of Sherlock Holmes.

ET visited the movie set, and met the movie cast :

Sherlock Holmes Cast Interview

I like those interviews made on movie sets: they’re much more natural and telling than the artificial promo interview given just before the final release.

Robert Downey Jr. is giving an interesting point of view regarding the controversy there could be around Guy Ritchie’s modern take on Sherlock Holmes:

“The reinvention [of Sherlock Holmes] is actually a return to the idiosyncrasy that Conan Doyle had in his books that people hadn’t really pay much attention to.”

Robert Downey Jr.

The movie Sherlock Holmes will be released on Christmas 2009. I’ll have to encourage my kids to read a few Sherlock Holmes book by then!
:)

Mark Strong is playing the role of Lord Blackwood in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes movie. Lord Blackwood is the villain of the film. He engages in a battle of wit with Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.).

The picture above (which you may enlarge by clicking on it) is a first glimpse of Mark Strong as Lord Blackwood.

Actor Mark Strong may have talked too much in an interview given to Total Film: he revealed indeed the movie’s ending! Here it is:

Sherlock Holmes Movie Ending

“There’s a fantastic sequence where we duel to the death on a half-built Tower Bridge. It’s a perfect way to end the movie, Robert and I hammering seven bells out of each other on top of this swinging bridge with Victorian London as a backdrop. It’s going to be amazing.
[...]
There’s a touch of Dracula about him (Lord Blackwood).

He needed to have an element of showmanship about him by virtue of the fact that he’s trying to persuade everyone around him that he’s so in league with the Devil that he’s able to conquer death. I just wanted to make him an equal adversary of Sherlock Holmes.”

Mark Strong
(that’s a real picture of Mark Strong as Lord Blackwood!)

What Strong is describing sounds quite close to the final fight between Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes with both being being swept into waterfalls. But still, it just makes more impatient to see the whole thing: what he gave away is no spoiler! I’d rather say that it’s a teaser instead!

Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and Dr. Watson (Jude Law) are ready to confront Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong):

The movie Sherlock Holmes will be released on Christmas 2009.

Three new pictures of Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes, upcoming movie starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, have shown up:

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

There is no doubt that Robert Downey Jr.’s interpretation of Sherlock Holmes will be in stark contrast with the former Sherlock Holmes movies: Downey’s version of Sherlock Holmes is a man that could run for the title of sexiest man of the year! I can tell as much for Jude Law as Dr. Watson. Director Guy Ritchie did bring a new life to the story created by Athur Conan Doyle!

The movie Sherlock Holmes will be released on December 25, 2009.
