In Cinemas Christmas Day

And so it dawns on us this day, this day of reckoning, that the most prized and rare of treasures is bestowed upon us. I speak of course, of the simply fantastic trailer, for the newest Guy Ritchie / Robert Downey Jr. film, Sherlock Holmes.

I’ve considered myself a holmsian fan for a few years. I read my first Holmes novel when I was 11, I have a complete collection of Sir A.C. Doyle’s work, own many of the film and television adaptations, and seem to be only one of two people at nonstandard who pick up on the subtle (and not so subtle) nods to Holmes in the series HOUSE MD.

So you can imagine my jubilation at seeing one of my favourite actors, portray one of my favourite characters, in a film by one of my favourite directors, in a trailer for what I imagine will become one of my favourite films.

The Sherlock Holmes press release from Warner Bros states as follows; 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.

That’s all for now. Catch you next time!
