Out-Bloody-Standing

My favorite fictional character, Sherlock Holmes, is about to be played by Robert Downey, Jr.

The trailer looks fantastic, and very much in the spirit of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original works. The dour, somewhat sedentary Holmes usually depicted on film (especially the WWII era anti-Nazi Basil Rathbone Holmes) isn’t at all what I’ve imagined the great detective to be. TV’s reimagined Holmes, Dr. Gregory House is much more the brilliant, opiate-addicted musician (get it, House, Holmes?) than any other on-screen rendition.

Jude Law looks to be a good Wilson…er, Watson, too.

This looks GREAT.
