For those of you who want a glimpse of Mr Ritchie etal working on the new Sherlock Holmes film - you might want to pop over to Lincoln's Inn Fields this week - the unit has just set up home there!
They are filming in Freemasons Hall (where they film Spooks) and St Pauls. Last night when I walked past there was a big line outside the museum in the square for what I'm guessing was a casting call for extras.
I will try and grab a few shots with my phone on the way back tonight.
Intresting titbit - the trailors all have names on them - Susan Downey, Director etc but also one witj "Lord Coward"....
I, for one, was never excited about Downey's casting as Holmes. These pics do nothing to change that. Being a big Conan Doyle fan, this is one flick which I'll catch on video (if they're lucky).
Here's another pic floating around the web of Downey's Holmes in action:
This looks like a scene out of Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels.
I really don't know what to think of this film yet but I'm not getting a Basil Rathbone vibe from it.
I think it was the bowler 8-) . Is this going to be a sort of Holmes Begins?
I hope not. We've already had that with Young Sherlock. One question, why is Downey Jr holding a large tuning fork? Could his piano have fallen out the window and he's tumbling after it.

I have no doubt that this is a picture of Holmes making off with one of Mrs. Hudson's Pampered Chef cooking utensils.

Somehow, this film being in development and production completely eluded me. Robert Downey Jr ?:)
I think he's very good in general---and was an excellent Tony Stark---but...

Jude Law's Watson looks like he could kick Downey's Sherlock's butt.
Not the typical portly fellow I'm accustomed to. He looks like a villian.
