“Sherlock Holmes” Posters Revealed
Action packed and star studded, even the trailer sells a new concept for an old hero. Guy Ritchie promised a new take on “Sherlock Holmes,” and he delivers by casting Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes, Rachel McAdams as bad girl Irene Adler, and Jude Law as sidekick Watson. Yes, you heard right, Jude Law is playing bumbling sidekick Watson. Wouldn’t he have been a better fit for the brooding and mysterious crime solver? Whatever, he’s definitely still got our attention. “Sherlock Holmes” makeover is revealed in previews that show him in shirtless boxing matches and handcuffed to a bed naked, but the whole cast insists this is deeply rooted in the original description of the character. If this sounds just a little too heavy for you, the good news is that “Borat” and “Bruno”‘s Sasha Baron Cohen is in talks to star in a comedic version of “Sherlock Holmes” alongside Will Ferrell. These two haven’t been paired up since “Talledega Nights,” but we all remember how that turned out! Guess we’ll just have to wait and see which couple is going to make the best crime fighting duo. Trailer, after the jump… [Sherlock Holmes Movie]

My god that just wrecked my mental picture of what Holmes and Watson should look like. Dumbass movies. Harry potter is good at this kind of thing, not so much here.

I always thought Holmes was old and effeminate and Watson short and fat. I wouldn’t mind if these two kissed once or twice.

AHH! I’ve been waiting for this for a loooong time! I am thoroughly stoked. And it’s a Guy Ritchie film so that’s going to make it that much better! =]]]

Hm…I wouldn’t have pictured Watson that way, but that’s not too far from what I wanted Holmes to look like (I had a huge lit-crush on Holmes’ character for a long time xD).
