		<description><![CDATA[The trailer for Sherlock Holmes just didn't do it for me I'm afraid, I have no idea how such a prestigious series got into the hands of Guy Ritchie but he's completely out of his depth tackling these iconic characters. I do like the casting of Robert Downey Jr though and he's a reason to see it if nothing else.  

I look forward to seeing him and Jude Law challenge each other as Holmes and Watson, I like the comradery they had together in the all too brief footage. Their chemistry could make or break the movie. 

I've tracked down these two one-sheet posters from Yahoo Movies which I cleverly deduced would be interesting to my dear readers...





Not a great amount of effort put into these but it's early days yet, Christmas is still seven months away. I'm sure they are still trying to come up with the best plan for marketing a Sherlock Holmes picture which they actually expect to make HUGE business from, and not just be watched by a middle aged audience on a weekday afternoon on some obscure channel. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

First off, let me just say that I'm not a huge fan of Guy Ritchie. The former Mr. Ciccone has always seemed like an interesting visualist searching in vain for a project to match his style.

After seeing the new trailer for SHERLOCK HOLMES, I think he needs to search a little harder.

Check it out so we can discuss it:



I do like the BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID feel between Robert Downey Jr.'s Holmes and Jude Law's Watson. In my mind, Holmes and Watson were not on the same playing field intellectually or socially, friends but not equals. Here they seem to be played like they are brothers, and I like the chemistry between the two men.

And also like the chemistry between Rachel McAdams and that costume.

But I must say that this trailer gives off a disturbing WILD WILD WEST vibe. You know that vibe ... where a period piece is played modern. Hopefully Holmes will not find himself confronted by a giant mechanical spider at some point in this film.

I'm also not fond of what the trailer hints at about a supernatural plotline involving - yet again! - the end of the world. Sure, sometimes bad guys are going ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Sherlock stops, he looks up into the camera, and everything freezes. “Let me tell you how this is going to go,” he says. And what we see is a positively autistic break-down of the big guy’s defenses, and what hits would do the exact damage needed to put him away, probably in the hospital. It’s slow-motion. It’s medical in how detailed it is. And as soon as it’s done, we return to that frozen shot of Sherlock, the Big Guy standing behind him.
AICN's Moriarty has been hanging out with his arch nemesis SHERLOCK HOLMES in London and has investigated some of the scenes from Guy Ritchie's next film, describing what he saw as "Sherlock Vision".


And he turns around and, in real time, does everything he just said he was going to do. Perfectly. And he destroys the Big Guy. It’s just awful. Guy goes down hard. And Sherlock walks away. That’s how he approaches a fight. That’s how he approaches a mystery. That’s how he approaches someone walking into the room. That’s the world through the eyes of Sherlock Holmes.
You can read Part I and Part II (with Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr.) with Part III (Rachel McAdams) ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Warner Bros. have been working out their strategy of releases for the next two years and have come up with a game plan that looks something like this according to ercboxoffice.



The final part of the Hogwarts movies, HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART II will hit theatres on July 15th 2011, some eight months after PART I. 

At the moment that is the same release date as Marvel's epic ensemble THE AVENGERS but there's time for movement on that one, I can't see both of them liking the idea of competing with one another. 



GREEN LANTERN, the next Warner Bros. character to get a tentpole will be released on Dec. 17th 2010. This marks a distinct change for Warner Bros. who always bring their comic book characters to the dance as Summer epics and is a distinct risk, trying to see if the market can hold up a Christmas release. 

It worked for I AM LEGEND in 2007 but can it work for a costumed character?

CASINO ROYALE and THE MASK OF ZORRO director Martin Campbell is in charge and will be picking his LANTERN very soon to hit that release date. 



Meanwhile, JONAH HEX which is slightly ahead in terms of production time, ...]]></description>

The film is due out on Nov. 19th 2009 and will be Ritchie's most commercial attempt yet, as Warner Bros. are wanting him to deliver a PG-13 rating. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now there's literally hundreds of SHERLOCK HOLMES film and t.v. adaptations but I doubt any of them featured a shirtless image of super sleuth from Baker Street. And if they did, I doubt that they ever looked as good as this...


Guy Ritchie's adaptation of the character is to go back to the very origins of Arthur Conan Doyle's novels where Holmes was depicted as a more than capable martial arts fighter, a sport which Downey Jr. himself is familiar with. The purposefully released image from Warner Bros. is a message to us that this Holmes adaptation will be different to every other.

The second official image from Warner Bros. show the detective with his sidekick Dr. Watson as played by Jude Law...



Rachel McAdams (as Holmes' love interest Irene Adler), Mark Strong (as the villain Blackwood) and the always great Eddie Marsan (as Insepc. Lestrade) co-star for the Nov. 20th 2009 movie.

		<description><![CDATA[Matt here... welcoming OWF's newest recruit Ross Miller to the site. He is going to help me out with updating the latest movie news stories. Ya know, I need to find time to actually watch the movies I'm talking about!

Robert Downey Jr. was accidentally punched and knocked out cold by his seven foot co-star Robert Maille during the filming of SHERLOCK HOLMES reports The Sun.

The lead star playing the normally suave and gentlemen detective, was quickly revived by medics and is said to be fine.


Downey "went flying and was out cold...he didn't want to go to hospital and kept trying to get up" says a source on the set in Kent, England. Revived by medics, Downey needed stitches inside his mouth.
On the one hand it's kind of unusual to find out that on the set of a SHERLOCK HOLMES movie that the lead actor gets knocked out; but as any HOLMES historians (there's gotta' be some of them out there) will tell you... the character originally did martial arts, a special kind called Bartitsu. It looks like Ritchie has very much included that early aspect in his telling as first hinted.

Oh, and to add to the mayhem of the star ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[About this time last year, it was announced that Guy Ritchie was to remake the classic World War II movie THE DIRTY DOZEN at Warner Bros and as recently as May, that producer Joel Silver had also benchmarked him to direct an adaptation of the war hero comic book character SGT. ROCK.

Though when Quentin Tarantino finally got his act together at Cannes some weeks later and announced that he would have his World War II epic complete in 12 months, Warner Bros. put on hold both adaptations and gave SHERLOCK HOLMES to Ritchie as it was further in development and didn't want to slug it out with Quentin.



Dark Castle producer Susan Downey updates the status of both projects to Coming Soon...
"Those two projects specifically, they still need more work in development...I know that Guy, he still has passion for them, but his focus right now is on this. I do believe that if there was a universe where he could be doing them all right now. He would want to, and we haven't jumped off him and looked for other people yet either. I'm not exactly sure what we're going to do, because we love those projects but they have ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shooting has moved from London to Manchester for SHERLOCK HOLMES but the spys are still stalking the set of Guy Ritchie's next movie.

Here is a snap of Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law as Holmes &#38; Watson...


Now you can finally begin to see the "Watson" in Law, who with the tache looks to have aged about five years. And the coat makes him look heavier, if this is the early days of Holmes then this early signs of development works just fine right?

Once again Robert looks like he has just rolled out of bed.



I love how Ritchie turns up to the set in the same classic English attire as his actors.

Just Jared have gotten hold of and published the first images of Jude Law as Holmes' sidekick Dr. Watson.



Director Guy Ritchie says...
“My one concern was the accents but this is no longer the case. Robert Downey has the best English accent I’ve ever heard. Also Rachel McAdams is playing American (love interest Irene Adler), which is true to the books. Outside of that, Jude is obviously Brit. Robert was obviously going to be the big one, and we seem to have transcended that particular hurdle.”

		<description><![CDATA[Just Jared have snapped the first on set images of Robert Downey Jr. as the world's most famous super sleuth, SHERLOCK HOLMES, in Guy Ritchie's next movie which is currently filming out in London.

Has HOLMES ever looked so cool?



A modest Downey Jr. said...
“Clearly I’m going to do it better than it’s ever been done. The more I read about it the more overwhelmed I was by the weight of it and the amount of people who will be watching to see if it’s gotten right.”
Ritchie and Downey's version of HOLMES is expected to depict more of the physical side of Arthur Conan Doyle's smart detective, specifically his martial arts skills and ability to put up a good fight.

Presumably this also means his ability to do stunts as what seems to be the object of discussion here between Downey Jr. and his stunt man, and someone who looks like Dan Ackroyd, but obviously isn't...



Love the casting of this film... Jude Law plays Dr. Watson, Rachel McAdams is Holmes' love interest, Mark Strong is the bad guy (playing Blackwood rather than Moriarty) and the latest addition is PRIDE AND PREDUJICE actress Kelly Reilly as a love interest for Watson.

		<description><![CDATA[Eddie Marsan.

Our good friends at Digital Spy carry the scoop that the great British character actor who has been making it big in Hollywood lately (he was the villain in this year's major Summer tentpole HANCOCK for God's sake!) has landed a role in Guy Ritchie's soon to be filming SHERLOCK HOLMES adaptation.



Speaking exclusively to the site, Marsan revealed he would be playing Inspector Lestrade, a Scotland Yard policeman who is a trusted ally of Holmes &#38; Watson...
"Holmes and Watson are a lot younger, bohemian. It works. Reading the script, Robert Downey Jr. is just perfect for a modern-day Holmes. Also he's a bit of totty, as well!"
Interesting. Historically, Marsan actually shares more physical resemblance with the character of Dr. Watson than Jude Law, who we actually expect to play the character in next year's film. Marsan also just happens to be exactly the stature of character actor who would usually get that role.

But still this is Guy Ritchie, no-one quite expects this new take to be conventional. Though with Mark Strong (as the main villain) and Rachel McAdams (as the female love interest) not to mention Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law and Eddie Marsan... you can't deny he has ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No that's not me, unfortunately, as much as I would like to take this beauty for myself.

Rachel McAdams, at one time rumored to be Pepper Potts in IRON MAN (Gwyneth Paltrow's role) will finally get the chance to show us how much chemistry she can generate opposite Robert Downey Jr. as she has just been cast for the love interest in SHERLOCK HOLMES.



She will play the super sleuth's enigmatic love interest Irene Adler, a character who dates back to the 1891 novel "A Scandal in Bohemia", her one and only appearance though The Hollywood Reporter believe her deal here is a multi-film contract.

As we already know Mark Strong will be playing the movie's villain Blackwood and Jude Law is in talks to play the sidekick Dr. Watson. Holmes' most famous nemesis Prof. Moriarty MAY yet feature in the film as "the man behind it all" or a small cameo at the end to make way for a sequel.

Joel Silver produces, Guy Ritchie directs for Warner Bros. The new take on the character will depict Holmes' as more physically apt than ever before and less of the "stiff upper-lip" persona. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, Thursday 21st August 2008 to be precise, I voiced my absolute shock that the "confirmed" story of Mark Strong's casting in the high profile Guy Ritchie written and directed adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, hadn't hit the headlines.


Ever since Robert Downey Jr. had been cast as the super sleuth detective, I thought the news of who he would be going up against as his arch nemesis would be HUGE news. It wasn't. I don't know if it's because many sites hadn't picked up on it, or maybe it was just down to the ignorance of sites like Coming Soon who didn't want to give smaller sites credit where it was due.

[Please note I'm not talking about Obsessed With Film as that wasn't our exclusive. We just mean the original site which picked up on the story, which was Flick News, that we credited with the post]. 

Despite clearly Guy Ritchie confirming the story, Coming Soon gave me this response via e-mail when I told them some days later that their story that no actor had been discussed or lined up for the villain part in Sherlock Holmes was criminally false, I got this response...
Interesting Matt. I hadn't ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm not attempting to bring about disrespect to fellow OWF writer James Clayton but I have to state 100% for the record (as I loathe rumors, especially those that hit the bullshit detector on red alert) that Russell Crowe is not Dr. Watson to Robert Downey Jr's Sherlock Holmes in Guy Ritchie's upcoming adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's classic literary detective character.

It simply ain't true.


Any news story that appears in The Sun and for that matter any of the absolute bullshit that is flying around for Christopher Nolan and Batman 3 should be disregarded right now because it's just fanboy gossip.

Russell Crowe will not be Watson because he is Russell Crowe. The leading man. The guy who has one of the biggest ego's in Hollywood (and with great justification) is not going to play second fiddle to Downey Jr as a bumbling sidekick.

I could have possibly seen him as Moriarty but Guy Ritchie has already found his man in Mark Strong, his frequent collaborator who has starred in his last two movies Revolver and the opening Friday in the U.K. - Rock"N"Rolla.

But what is true is that Crowe is out hunting for a movie that will fill the time before ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A suspect report in The Sun has indicated that Russell Crowe may be the man to play Dr. Watson in Guy Ritchie’s upcoming take on legendary literary detective Sherlock Holmes. Robert Downey Jr. is already on board to play the legendary detective and according to “an insider”...
“Russell wants the part [Dr. Watson], Guy wants Russell. All they’ve got left to do is dot the i’s and cross the t’s.”


It also appears that RocknRolla director Ritchie will be taking on the material with a very modern touch by basing it on an upcoming comic book and liberally loading it with martial-arts action with Holmes and Watson becoming, in Downey Jr.’s words, “bad-asses”. The lead man is quoted as saying...

“I’ve got to spend some time with Guy and I love his take on it. We’re both martial arts enthusiasts and in the original stories of Sherlock Holmes, he’s kind of a bad-ass and a bare-knuckle boxer and studies the rare fictional martial art of baritsu. If you look baritsu up, they can’t even really tell you what it is, so it gives us a lot of leeway.”



As a man who has catapulted to golden boy status at the box-office after his star ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A strangely quiet but extremely important news item was leaked onto the web earlier this week but I've only myself just stumbled across it because of Filmstalker.

Guy Ritchie, whose career I don't think I have ever been this excited about in years (come on, Rock"N"Rolla looks pretty damn awesome), has cast the main villain for his exciting Sherlock Holmes project which will star the "never been this popular" Robert Downey Jr.

Said actor is Mark Strong. He is British, born in London, 45 and looks something like this....


That's right, he was one of the main supporting parts in Ritchie's good pal Matthew Vaughn's movie Stardust and previously appeared in Ritchie's much hated gangster movie Revolver.

He also appears in Rock"N"Rolla.

He's a terrific actor who has a decade of great supporting roles behind him and has a face that can really adapt to any time period or genre.

Could he be playing Prof. Moriarty, or for the first movie is Ritchie going to avoid the tantalising carrot of using the most famous (and for many the only one known) villain in Arthur Conan Doyle's series much like Christopher Nolan did with leaving out The Joker in Batman Begins.


After all, Ritchie is rebooting this franchise, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having played the Iconic comic book hero Tony Stark with such ease, charisma and likeable charm, Robert Downey Jr. is a serious Hollywood star right now and this has to be seen as a major coup for Brit director Guy Ritchie.

Variety say Downey Jr. has agreed to star as Sherlock Holmes in Ritchie's new big budget film drama of the famous detective from Baker Street.

Shooting begins in October, from a polished script draft by Anthony Peckham (Don't Say A Word).

No word on who will play Dr. Watson, or whether the villainous Professor Moriarty is in the film.

Warner Bros. are desperate to get the project under-way before Columbia and Judd Apatow's spoof comedy version which is also being fast tracked with Sacha Baron Cohen (as Holmes) and Will Ferrell (as Watson) starring in a script by Tropic Thunder scribe Etan Cohen.

Downey Jr already has an Oscar nomination in his bag for playing a British legend, albeit a real life one in Charles Chaplin. Downey Jr's version of Holmes could be the most charismatic but at the same time neurotic than we have ever seen before. Can't wait to see it. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[British Gangster director Guy Ritchie is changing sides of the law. Variety say he has been handpicked to direct the beginning of a new film franchise of Sherlock Holmes films for Warner Bros.

The new set of movies won't be directly based on the Arthur Conan Doyle classic writings but are instead adapted from an upcoming comic book by one of the films producers, Lionel Wigram (exec producer on Harry Potter and Order of the Phoenix).

Anthony Peckham (Don't Say a Word) wrote the original script which is being adapted by Ritchie with WB wanting this to be a 2010 tentpole.

Ritchie's appointment in the directing chair might should not be as suprising to many as I'm sure it is today. Back in March 2007, this was described by Warners Bros. as their intention for the character...
"Holmes losing some of his Victorian stuffiness and being more adventuresome, including playing up his skills as a bare-knuckle boxer and expert swordsman as he goes about solving crimes”.
As long as he keeps his brilliant mind for psychological deduction then I don't mind it if he gets a little rough now and again. Just make sure you keep the core elements of the character sacred.

And cut just ...]]></description>
