I can't shake the feeling that Sherlock Holmes cast member Mark Strong might actually be a better Holmes than Robert Downey, Jr. Or at least, he might be a better Holmes that we already know. Guy Ritchie, of course, has other plans.
Ritchie's movie will turn the legendary detective on his ear, imbuing him with personality traits Holmes never really shows in the Arthur Conan Doyle. Good move? Hard to say. Unprecedented? No. High degree of difficulty? Yeah. Oh yeah.

I just had the considerable pleasure of watching “Moon” starring the ridiculously good Sam Rockwell and the amazing up and coming director Duncan Jones. I notice that “Moon” was produced in part by Trudie Styler who also produced Guy Ritchie’s first film. She has an eye for talent does this girl. Trudie is also the wife of Sting for those not in the know. “Moon” is a glorious return to old school, model based science fiction. I say model based because instead of C.G.I. that you know is fake, Moon uses models and sets that you know are fake but in a different and more interesting version of fake. It’s fake but has that old world craftsmen feel to it. When rovers go bouncing across the lunar surface like they do frequently in Moon, you’re thinking, man that’s some good carpentry or excellent plastic whittling.

A new trailer for Guy Ritchie’s upcoming Sherlock Holmes has recently made its way online. Unfortunately, the international trailer doesn’t show a whole lot different to what we’ve seen before in the first trailer that was released, but if you pay close attention you’ll notice a few fresh shots.
Ritchie’s take on the classic detective character sees Robert Downey Jr. dawn Holmes’ outfit and pick up his pipe. Co-starring in what looks like a nice mix of action, mystery and comedy are Jude Law as Holmes’ faithful assistant, Dr. Watson, Mark Strong as the villain, Lord Watson, and Rachel McAdams as the presumed love interest.
For those of you who want to find out a lot more of what this new Sherlock Holmes adaptation will be about, this latest trailer may disappoint with its lack of significant new footage. But for those who liked the look of the last trailer,

In a shocking break from tradition we have an officially official trailer brought to us via Youtube. I knew the day would come. The trailer in question is for Guy Ritchie's new comedy Sherlock Holmes, and yes, I did say comedy because according to this trailer this is going to be some funny shit. We all knew Robert Downey Jr. could spin a line (joke wise, I wouldn't stoop to a drug reference), but who could call that Jude Law would raise laughs? Ok I know this will actually be an action film, but I'm wholly glad that ladles of laughs will accompany the spoonfuls of explosions. We unfortunately don't get that much new material from the last few clips, but what is here is solid and seems to be putting across the message that this is a hearty family film, that you can jaunt to the cinema for hand in hand.

While Robert Downy Jr. is off wearing his iron suit, there is another aspect of the multifaceted actor that we get to see on the silver screen this year, in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes, out this Christmas. The first trailer hit a few months back, and looked pretty awesome. The newest one has the same clips from the film, but with a bit of a twist.
With the first trailer, the big reveal was that Downy Jr. was playing Sherlock Holmes, but in the beginning of the International trailer, the reveal is that Sherlock Holmes is being played by Robert Downy Jr. Check out exactly what that means after the break, and expect to see Sherlock and Watson–played by Jude Law–in the theaters this Christmas.

Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes isn't due in theaters until December 25, but fans are already excited about the movie. Count Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince's Daniel Radcliffe among them. He told Entertainment Weekly that Holmes is the movie he's "most looking forward to seeing" this year.
Apparently Radcliffe is a "huge fan" of the British Sherlock Holmes TV show starring Jeremy Brett. He says Brett's Holmes is a great example of playing "an over-the-top character without ever being over-the-top himself." We hope Radcliffe knows that Robert Downey Jr. is Holmes this time around.
It's easy to be swept up into Radcliffe's enthusiasm after watching the latest trailer for Sherlock Holmes. Even a fickle New York audience applauded it. Check it out below:

In a break from his previous work, Guy Ritchie's new film is all about Londoners shooting and hitting each other. But wait! This time they're wearing bowler hats, it's called Sherlock Holmes, and it looks ace in this just-released trailer.Look forward to more shots of literature's favourite opium addict jumping out of buildings, picking locks and surviving massive explosions. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle diehards might turn up their noses at the bare-knuckle fistfights (which have some basis in the books, actually) and full moon shades, but it does look incredibly good fun. Plus, Jude Law punches Downey Jr. in the face, so now you definitely can't miss it.Sherlock Holmes is out here on August 26, 2009, and in the Us the day before, aka not. Soon. Enough.

A new international trailer has been released this week for Guy Ritchie's re-imagining of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. As you may know, the movie stars Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes and Jude Law as Dr. Watson, and as the first trailer [1] proved, it's aiming to be a pretty high-energy action movie. I'm okay with that, but what I'm more interested in are the fun comedic elements and the interplay between Holmes and Watson. Could Sherlock Holmes mark the return of the Victorian Era buddy cop film? Well, the new trailer isn't all that different from the original, but it does have some additional footage sprinkled throughout, and there are some nice character moments as well. Plus, the more I see of it, the more I am digging the look of this movie (cinematographer Philippe Rousselot previously shot Interview with the Vampire some recent Tim Burton films

Usually it’s the domestic trailers that sell the explosions and fisticuffs, trying to draw in the troglodytic American audience with loud noises and physical violence, cause you know, we’re simple people that way. Someone apparently didn’t tell the guy who cut the International trailer for Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes”, because whereas the first Stateside trailer sold the movie on the charms of Robert Downey Jr.’s titular Sherlock Holmes, this one really packs in the punches, explosions, and yeah, more punches. In a dynamic new portrayal of Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous characters, “Sherlock Holmes” sends Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson on their latest challenge. Revealing fighting skills as lethal as his legendary intellect, Holmes will battle as never before to bring down a new nemesis and unravel a deadly plot that could destroy the country. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams,

A new British trailer for the Sherlock Holmes picture by Guy Ritchie has been let loose, timed to coincide with the release of the new Harry Potter. As well as running in our cinemas it is of course online, and you can see it after the break. While the overall structure of the thing and much of the material is the same as the Us cut, there is quite a lot of new mucking about too. If you're looking forward to the film, as many are, it probably gives you more of just what you're waiting for. On the other hand, you like I might be more interested in an alternative take on Holmes that the BBC are preparing... Despite the Ritchie film's trailer looking like it contains a large amount of plot material, it doesn't really. I dare say this will be corrected with a later trailer that walks

Funny thing: I never pictured Sherlock Holmes being a stick fighter. But there he is in the new trailer for Guy Ritchie’s upcoming take, sticks in hand, swinging away and looking pretty good doing it. Heh.
In all seriousness, though, as much as purists may gripe that Ritchie has amped up the action and explosions while dumbing down the thoughtfulness of the character, thereby damaging what made him appealing in the first place - very valid complaints, from what we’ve seen so far, and ones I’ll certainly not argue with - I’ve got to say this just looks fun. And there aint nothing wrong with that. Both trailers lurk below the break.

A brand new international trailer has been released for Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Mark Strong and Rachel McAdams, the film is directed by Guy Ritchie.
The new trailer is very similar to the last one, with the odd piece of new footage cut in here and there. Overall I’m not sure what to make of this film, it looks potentially very good, but it doesn’t feel much like a Sherlock Holmes story - although I guess that was Ritchie’s objective in the first place!
Oh well, either way the film hits on 26th December 2009, take a look at the very cool new trailer below:

Yahoo! Movies has got a hold of another fresh trailer from "Sherlock Holmes". Though containing pretty much similar footage to the first trailer, this brand new sneak peek at director Guy Ritchie's new take on the legendary detective and his crime-solving story still reels in a number of never-before-seen footage.
The freshly-released trailer takes another look at the slow-motion bare knuckle fist fight between Holmes and his opponent. Unlike the first trailer that sees Holmes landing his fist on his opponent's face, this new promo video displays the detective blocking a hit with his left hand and striking a blow with another hand. A scene where Holmes is stunned by Watson's blow on his face is also shown here.
Based on Lionel Wigram's upcoming comic book, "Sherlock Holmes" is the first major big-screen version of "Sherlock Holmes" in more than 20 years. It will present a new portrayal of

The Sun recently reported that Guy Ritchie (Snatch, RocknRolla) is looking to remake "Guys and Dolls" with Justin Timberlake and Jason Statham taking over for Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra. But a movie without the cooperation of the estate of Frank Loesser, who wrote the music and lyrics, cannot be made. Allen H. Arrow, an attorney who represents the estate, contacted Ritchie's representatives and found out that Ritchie has never claimed to be directing the film. "I can't tell you what is happening, but I can tell you what is not happening, and that is this Guy Ritchie version," Arrow said. As it turns out, 20th Century Fox has been working on a rights deal for "Guys and Dolls" that would star Hugh Jackman in the Sky Masterson role, originally played by Brando. When asked if that's something that could happen, Arrow replied: "We are not opposed to that development.

Not too long ago a ridiculous rumor percolated up, sourced from British tabloid The Sun: Guy Ritchie wants to make his own version of Guys and Dolls. Not that anyone believes a damn thing The Sun creates as 'news', and with good reason. According to the paper, he'd been given the 'green light' to cast the film, and he had his eye on both Jason Statham and Justin Timberlake. But the estate of Frank Loessner, who wrote the music and lyrics for Guys and Dolls, insists it's all crap. "I can’t tell you what is happening, but I can tell you what is not happening, and that is this Guy Ritchie version," said Allen H. Arrow, attorney for the estate. But then Arrow told Variety what could be happening: a version with Hugh Jackman. More after the break. For some time, there's been rumbling that Fox wants to revive

Madonna performed in Milan last night before joining Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana at their Gold restaurant. Jesus Luz was her date for the evening, which probably made him happy since he's apparently been getting jealous of all the time Madonna spends with Guy Ritchie. Jesus may like a lot of attention, but he'll have to learn to share since Madonna already has a full schedule between touring and raising a family.

Every new Potter film brings comments of, "my how Harry, Hermione and Ron have grown!" "Can you believe, they're practically adults now?" And so forth. But we've gotten so far down the road in this franchise that it may actually be time to start speculating on whether Rupert Grint has had hair plugs, or if Emma Watson overdid it with the botox.
What, too soon?
Anyhoo, the hotly anticipated (and well-reviewed) latest installment of the Harry Potter franchise opens in the United States today, and in honor of that we thought we'd post some great photos of the uber gay-friendly Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson et. al. from last week's star-studded London premiere.
Enjoy!
