You may watch below a new trailer of Mr Holme, the upcoming crime drama mystery movie directed by Bill Condon and starring Ian McKellen as the marvelous detective (in his old age, that is):
Mr. HOLMES
Plot: “An aged, retired Sherlock Holmes looks back on his life, and grapples with an unsolved case involving a beautiful woman.”
Ian McKellen is a great actor, but his performance as Sherlock Holmes can’t compare with Jeremy Brett’s (who used to play the detective in the eponymous TV series produced by Granada).
Check out the first official trailer of Mr. Holmes, the upcoming crime drama mystery movie directed by Bill Condon and starring Ian McKellen, Laura Linney, Hiroyuki Sanada, Milo Parker, Roger Allam, and Nicholas Rowe:
Mr. HOLMES
Plot: “Set in 1947, MR. HOLMES follows a long-retired Sherlock Holmes (Ian McKellen), who lives in a sleepy village outside of London with his housekeeper Mrs Munro (Laura Linney) and her amateur-sleuthing son (Milo Parker). With his legendary mental powers on the wane and minus his sidekick Watson, Holmes becomes haunted by an unsolved case from 50 years ago where he remembers only fragments: a confrontation with an angry husband and a secret bond with his beautiful but unstable wife.”
Can’t say am excited about the film after watching this first trailer… The whole thing just looks like a cute story about old Sherlock befriending and becoming the mentor of a young boy. Cute, but where’ the great detective we all know?
The film should be released in theaters sometime this Summer. :)

The man behind the myth.

Sherlock Holmes, in his usual garb and style, does look a mighty witty man!
Thanks to RoadsideFlix here’s a first preview clip of Mr. Holmes, the upcoming crime mystery drama movie starring Gandalf er, Magneto, er, sorry I mean Ian McKellen:
Mr. Holmes – You’re not going to die.
Plot: “Set in 1947, MR. HOLMES follows a long-retired Sherlock Holmes (Ian McKellen), who lives in a sleepy village outside of London with his housekeeper Mrs Munro (Laura Linney) and her amateur-sleuthing son (Milo Parker). With his legendary mental powers on the wane and minus his sidekick Watson, Holmes becomes haunted by an unsolved case from 50 years ago where he remembers only fragments: a confrontation with an angry husband and a secret bond with his beautiful but unstable wife.”
Sherlock Holmes is really old in that movie… I guess Alzheimer’s or plain ol’ dementia is around the corner waiting for him…
