Sherlock Holmes
 

So I was completely stoked when I was told they were making a Sherlock Holmes movie...but now that I've seen the trailer, I'm not so sure...


Robert Downey Jr as Holmes? I'm not feeling it...

Anyone else heard about this? What y'all think?

British folks should play British literary characters methinks. Basil Rathbone still owns.

Bit before my time.

I'd go for Jeremy Brett's adaptation of him in the 80s/90s.
One of the last good things ITV ever did as a television company.

They could have at least chosen a British actor. I think Damien Lewis would be a good choice.

God. Now what have they done. :(

If it's any consolidation it's being directed by a Brit.

Meh, I think whoever can play the part the best should get the part regardless of where they're from. That's what acting is all about, playing something you're not. Nevertheless, this movie doesn't look very good. I think Robert Downey Jr. is a great actor but I don't think he's the right choice for Sherlock Holmes.

Yeah but I know RDJR is not right for the role :D

I think I agree, this looks a little sketchy. I still think it looks like it will be entertaining, but I'm guessing those who like Sherlock Holmes from before and take this movie seriously won't be happy about it.

Reminds me a bit of Dr. House :(

Haha. I knew you were going to say that. :p:

Have never been too into Sherlock Holmes but this movie is looking sweet!!!

oh I can't wait.....I saw the trailer at the beginning of T4 and I was pretty hyped up about wanting to see it. I had even forgot they said they were going to be doing it with RDJR.

Sherlock Holmes is my all time favorite!!! I prefer books.

Screw the movie, and fans of the TV show? I just finished the 6th episode on Netflix.

The Holmes movies with Robert Downey Jr. were awful. Scenery and everything was amazing, but they took mystery stories heavy on psychological suspense and turned them into action movies. Doesn't work. The Jeremy Brett series was easily the best Holmes screen adaptation. IDK, Holmes in the 21st century just doesn't work for me, as great as Freeman and Cumberbatch are.
