    Filed under: Casting, Mystery & Suspense Usually it’s not too hard to imagine what a film will be like. This is not, however, the case with Sherlock Holmes. First, it was a challenge to try and imagine just how Guy Ritchie would handle the material, even with the recommendation of a “slightly stylized 1891.” Robert Downey Jr. was an intriguing choice for Mr. Holmes, and now as the bigger casting pieces start to fall into place, I’m dying to see what Ritchie makes of it. Jude Law IS in as Watson, and The Hollywood Reporter posts that Rachel McAdams has signed on to play Sherlock’s love interest, Irene Adler. THR says the character showed up in only one story — 1891’s “A Scandal in Bohemia,” but should the film become part of a series, she’ll be there for the ride. As Elisabeth pointed out when Mark Strong signed on, Ritchie isn’t interested right now in a sequel, but that doesn’t mean the studio isn’t salivating over the thought. Oh yes, and Strong, who was cast in a few roles through the rumor mill — he’ll play Blackwood, Holmes’ main villain. There’s some excellent talent in here, and after RocknRolla, I’m dying to see Strong go head to head with Downey Jr. (more…) Share This

First, it was a challenge to try and imagine just how Guy Ritchie would handle the material, even with the suggestion of a "slightly stylized 1891." Robert Downey Jr. was an intriguing choice for Mr. Holmes, and now as the bigger casting pieces begin to fall into place, I'm dying to see what Ritchie makes of it. Jude Law IS in as Watson, and The Hollywood Reporter posts that Rachel McAdams has signed on to play Sherlock's love interest, Irene Adler. THR says the character showed up in only one story -- 1891's "A Scandal in Bohemia," but should the film become part of a series, she'll be there for the ride. As Elisabeth pointed out when Mark Strong signed on, Ritchie isn't interested right now in a sequel, but that doesn't mean the studio isn't salivating over the thought. Oh yes, and Strong, who was cast in a few roles through the rumor mill -- he'll play Blackwood, Holmes' main villain. There's some excellent talent in here, and after RocknRolla, I'm dying to see Strong go head to head with Downey Jr. Dear readers of Cinematical, what say you?
