Guy Ritchie should just stick to being Mr
Madonna. He is to film making what Nero was to town planning..

I am looking forward to this film .... any big screen Holmes is better than none. Ritchie's films have never been my cup of tea but he may bring something fresh to it, especially with Downey Jr as Holmes.

All the films I've seen which have been directed by Mr. Madonna have been woeful.

It won't be Statham, more likely Ralph Fiennes, Rupert Everett or somebody of that ilk.
If there was ever to be a remake of Holmes for me there is only one man who i would love to see play him and one guy who i really like as an actor and find him attractive No not in the gay sense of the word attractive in the way that i find this man a magnet to watch and this has to be Ralph Fiennes. Brilliant actor and if he were to be at the helm i would definitely go to see the film!!!!

Default Jude Law in talks for Sherlock Holmes

Jude Law in talks for Sherlock Holmes

Jude Law is negotiating to join Robert Downey Jr. in "Sherlock Holmes," the drama that Guy Ritchie will direct for Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures. Law is expected to close a deal shortly to play Watson, the super-sleuth's sidekick.

The film will incorporate the classic tales written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as the comic book "Sherlock Holmes." Studio is still casting some of the principal roles, including the villain, Blackwood.

Default Rachel McAdams joins 'Sherlock Holmes'

Rachel McAdams joins 'Sherlock Holmes'
By Borys Kit

Rachel McAdams will star opposite Robert Downey Jr. in "Sherlock Holmes," a reimagining of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's supersleuth that Guy Ritchie is directing for Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow.

The movie, which will begin shooting next month, takes its cue from a forthcoming comic book that producer Lionel Wigram wrote as a selling tool for a new take on the classic character. The concept sees Holmes as more adventurous and less stuffy than previous screen incarnations and mines more obscure character traits.

Downey will play Holmes while Mark Strong ("RocknRolla") plays the main villain, Blackwood. Jude Law is portraying Holmes' colleague Watson.

McAdams plays Holmes' enigmatic love interest, Irene Adler, a character who appeared in Doyle's 1891 "A Scandal in Bohemia." While the character only appeared in that one story, McAdams' personage would return for any possible sequel.
