New Sherlock Holmes Posters First look at Holmes and Watson art
Movieland's latest Holmes/Watson double-act will sleuth their way onto their screens this Christmas in Sherlock Holmes and, judging by these rather elegant new character stills, they'll be cutting a dash while they do it.
Set against a fog-stained Westminster backdrop, the eye-catching posters show Robert Downey Jr.'s Holmes carrying on the debonair combination of style and six o'clock shadow familiar from the trailer (still no sign of a deerstalker), while Jude Law's Watson has gone seriously Saville Row in an awesomely Victorian three-piece. The cane - traditionally Holmes' weapon of choice - seems to fallen into the good doctor's possession.
Holmes has traditionally spent a lot of time musing on cases from the velvetine comfort of 221B Baker Street, but Ritchie's reboot gets him out and about in the dark alleyways of 19th century London, meeting people and generally beating the hell of them. The sleuth, as they say, is out there.

No deestalker? It's not in the books and who cares? Everyone has done a version of Sherlock holmes from the Muppets to Star Trek!! People need to stop being precious and enjoy a new interpretation.
RDJr? Midas touch and his rendition (based on trailer) will be great to watch.
People are judging based on Guy Ritchie (emmie87 is right)- judging from the trailer he has got this one right!

I'd pretty much watch Downey Jr read out the phonebook (probably on a Sunday afternoon, not a date night) so this is a thumbs up for me. That said, this does look a little bit of style over content ... Read More
