We may be getting an Iron Man 2 trailer with Sherlock Holmes

Iron Man 2 finished filming and entered post-production way back in July, so it was expected Marvel would give us a trailer sometime in the near future. Well earlier today director Jon Favreau retweeted a message from someone on Twitter, and it hinted that we could see the first trailer with Sherlock Holmes:

RT @Ann_Howard: @Jon_Favreau PLEASE tell us the trailer is coming soon – w/Sherlock Holmes, perhaps??

This makes sense. Sherlock Holmes stars Robert Downey Jr. after all. Expect the first Iron Man 2 trailer online around December 25th.

Third trailer for Sherlock Holmes arrives!

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.

Here’s a new Sherlock Holmes poster

Cinematical received a brand new (rather blue) poster for Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes. It features all the gang including Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law, Mark Strong and Rachel McAdams. There’s also a bulldog which we haven’t seen much of in the trailers. I wonder if he/she has a large role?

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 an evil cult leader named Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong) and unravel a deadly plot that could destroy the country.

Second Sherlock Holmes trailer

Liam — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:04:04 +0000

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.

Did Sherlock Holmes Just Pitt-Up?

You know how ready the world is for a Sherlock Holmes movie from Guy Richie, Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law and Rachel McAdams? They’re already gearing up for a sequel, that’s how ready.

The movie doesn’t come out until Christmas this year, but already Warner Bros has brought on some writers to start scripting the sequel, according to Risky Business:

The studio is poised to bring on Kieran and Michele Mulroney, the scribes who are penning its “Justice League: Mortal” tentpole, to pen a draft of the new tale. Brad Pitt has had discussions with producers to star as Holmes’ nemesis Moriarty in the new pic, say people familiar with the project, though there is no deal in place for him to take the part.
Susan Downey, Dan Lin, Joel Silver and Lionel Wigram produced “Holmes,” a holiday release that, from well-received footage at Comic-Con, appears to be an action-heavy rendition of the world Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created.
Guy Ritchie helms the pic, and Downey stars as the title character; Jude Law plays protege Watson, and Rachel McAdams stars as love interest Irene Adler. Much of the talent is expected to return in the new pic, as could Ritchie as director.

The kicker in this news is the rumors that Brad Pitt has already flown to London to shoot a few scenes as Moriarty for the first Sherlock. Counter-acting those rumors are statements from people who have seen part of the movie, or claim to be in the know, saying that Moriarty only appears in the first film as a shadow and you can’t tell who the actor is.

Prediction? Speculation? How about this: if they are writing film 2 now and can turn out a script before early December, couldn’t Warners lock Pitt for the sequel then cut in a shot of his face?

That’s what I do if I were a studio.

Sherlock Holmes Trailer Remix

Liam — Thu, 21 May 2009 20:47:07 +0000

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.

Wolverine, Sherlock Holmes and Star Trek posters

Liam — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 19:22:29 +0000

Below we have 3 new posters to stimulate our eyeballs. The first is an international poster for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the second is a badass first poster for Sherlock Holmes featuring Robert Downey Jr. emerging from the darkness, and the third is a rather cool poster for Star Trek (although it looks more like a teaser poster).

Rachel McAdams says Watson is Sherlock’s love interest, not her!

Liam — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 19:50:09 +0000

In February Jude Law revealed some details about the relationship between Downey’s Sherlock Holmes and his Dr. Watson, saying “We are two men who happen to be roommates who wrestle a lot and share a bed”. Now Rachel McAdams has admitted to Scifi Wire that while she is the female lead and Sherlock’s supposed love interest in the film, it is really Dr. Watson.

What can you tell us about Sherlock Holmes?
McAdams: It’s pretty big. I didn’t realize how big it was until I stepped on the sets, and they were just massive. It’s in true Guy Ritchie fashion, too. It’s lots of fighting and explosions, but, I think, from what I’ve seen, obviously Robert Downey Jr. is an amazing actor, and so is Jude Law. They make a wonderful duo. I think some people are probably skeptical. Everybody has their preconceived notions about Watson in particular. Everyone’s like, “Watson’s supposed to be like this.” Anyway, I just think Jude is a perfect Watson, oddly enough, and they’re really perfect together. That’s kind of the love story, actually. I play supposedly Sherlock’s love interest, but it’s really Watson.

Guy Ritchie must have added lots of fighting and explosions to counter all of the man love going on.

Mark Strong gives Sherlock Holmes ending details

Liam — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 01:33:40 +0000

A few weeks ago Mark Strong let slip that Cate Blanchett would be playing Maid Marian in Robin Hood, now he’s revealed what the ending of Sherlock Holmes will consist of! Warner Bros. will no doubt be overjoyed.

From Totalfilm: [Contains minor spoilers]

“There’s a fantastic sequence where we duel to the death on a half-built Tower Bridge,” he said. “It’s a perfect way to end the movie, Robert and I hammering seven bells out of each other on top of this swinging bridge with Victorian London as a backdrop. It’s going to be amazing.”
For those not in the know, Strong plays occult-dabbling Satanist Lord Blackwood, who he admits is based on Alastair Crowley.
“There’s a touch of Dracula about him,” he said of the character. “He needed to have an element of showmanship about him by virtue of the fact that he’s trying to persuade everyone around him that he’s so in league with the Devil that he’s able to conquer death. I just wanted to make him an equal adversary of Sherlock Holmes.”

Sounds interesting. With Strong playing the villain in Sherlock Holmes, Kick-Ass and possibly Robin Hood, he must be trying to avoid being typecast by showing his loving and giving side. Especially with secret information he signed a contract not to tell.
