Every time Warner Bros. release a new trailer for Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes it makes me want to see the film just that bit more, which I suppose is their aim, so well done to them. The December release date is nearing and the effects are almost complete, which means we have a more action packed trailer for our viewing pleasure!

I’m warming to the Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law on-screen partnership. Ritchie and the writers have given them quite a few funny lines, I just hope they aren’t all in the trailers. Sherlock Holmes will be released on December 25th.

Second Sherlock Holmes trailer

It’s been 5 months since we got our first look at moving footage from Sherlock Holmes so it’s about time we got a new trailer. This one is slightly darker than the first one and contains more action, more slo-mo fights and more Holmes/Watson flirting.

Sherlock Holmes will be released on Christmas Day and is directed by Guy Ritchie.

Guy Ritchie to direct Lobo

Warner Bros. may be having trouble getting their most popular D.C characters such as Wonder Woman and The Flash onto the big screen, but at least that are managing to develop movies of lesser known comic characters. As well as The Losers (which is currently filming) and Jonah Hex Warner Bros. will be making a movie of Lobo, and have hired Guy Ritchie to direct.

From Variety:

Ritchie will make the film his follow-up to “Sherlock Holmes,” the Silver-produced pic that stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and Rachel McAdams. Warner Bros. opens it Christmas Day.
Production on “Lobo” begins early next year. The character originated in 1983 in “Omega Men,” written by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen. Lobo has had several comicbook incarnations. In the film, he will be an indestructible, blue-skinned, 7-foot-tall and heavily muscled antihero who drives a pimped-out motorcycle and lands on Earth in search of four fugitives bent on wreaking havoc. Lobo teams with a small-town teenaged girl to stop the creatures.
WB is aiming for a PG-13 rating. Pic will be strong on visual effects, and Ritchie is expected to bring the irreverent, gruff tone of his past films such as “Snatch” and “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.”

I’ve never heard of Lobo before, but it sounds rather badass. I can’t think of any 7 foot muscled actors off the top of my head, so the chances are they will hire a pretty well known actor and do a Hagrid/Juggernaut on him. They’ll have to paint him blue too.

New Sherlock Holmes posters

Empire received two new posters for Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes. One can be seen below and contains the photoshopped face and body of Robert Downey Jr.

Head over to Empire to see a similar one of Jude Law.

Sherlock Holmes Trailer Remix

I’m not sure Guy Ritchie will appreciate this. Or maybe he would? Someone who goes by the name of AEmovieguy has decided to give the Sherlock Holmes trailer we got earlier this week a little remix. It’s amazing how different things look when you add different music.

If anyone is wondering the song is “It’s Almost Over Now” (a.k.a. “Rockstar”) by N.E.R.D.

Do you prefer this trailer or the original?

The Sherlock Holmes trailer has arrived!

Liam — Mon, 18 May 2009 23:22:59 +0000

The trailer for Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes is now online! Among many things seen in the 2 minute 18 second montage, some shots we see include: Rachel McAdams in a corset, 300-style slow mo shots of Holmes punching a guy in the face and Holmes being sexually suggestive towards a maid. Watch below!

It looks better that what I expected. However, my only complaint is Downey’s accent. Being an Englishman myself I can tell that it’s a bit off, but he has obviously worked hard on it so I can live with it.

First Look At Robert Downey Jr. As Sherlock Holmes

Liam — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 21:46:00 +0000

Just Jared have posted the first photos of Robert Downey Jr. on the set of Sherlock Holmes. They were busy filming in central London today so it’s not surprising these images were snapped up. It’s fair to say Downey’s clothing looks nothing like what the typical Sherlock Holmes would be wearing. He looks more like Willy Wonka, however I’m sure Guy Ritchie and Downey Jr. have a vision and they will pull it off.

Sherlock Holmes Cast Speak

Liam — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 18:47:33 +0000

A press conference for Sherlock Holmes was held in London recently and cast members Robert Downey Jr., Rachel McAdams and Mark Strong were in attendance, along with director Guy Ritchie. They talked a little about their characters, and Downey Jr. revealed that at first Ritchie thought he was too old to play the lead part. That was until Iron Man came out this summer and Downey Jr. became a bit more ‘A-List’.

Watch a bit of the press conference below!

Rachel McAdams In Sherlock Holmes

Liam — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 14:21:59 +0000

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rachel McAdams will be joining Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law on screen in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes. McAdams will play Holmes’ love interest, Irene Adler, and word on the street is that the character would be back for a second film, should the first one make a gazillion.

The movie will begin shooting next month, and the concept sees Holmes as more adventurous and less stuffy than previous screen incarnations.

Jude Law As Dr.Watson In Sherlock Holmes?

Liam — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 13:25:54 +0000

According to Variety, Jude law is in negotiations to join Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Strong in the Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes. If these negotiations all go according to plan, Law will be playing Dr. Watson, Sherlock Holmes’ sidekick.

Law recently wrapped shooting Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, the movie that marks Heath Ledger’s last official role. However, apart from that Jude Law hasn’t been in anything that memorable recently. Maybe this role alongside Robert Downey Jr. will be what he needs to reassure people he is still acting.
