Probably It’s a bit early to write about Sherlock Holmes but I’ve just checked the preview and seems to me a really new dynamic portrayal of Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous characters.

The fictional character of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who first appeared in publication in 1887 will be in theaters again on 25th of December 2009, and hopefully I’ll be there :) .

According to my brief research Conan Doyle wrote four novels and fifty-six short stories that feature Holmes. All but four stories are narrated by Holmes’s friend and biographer, Dr John H. Watson; two are narrated by Sherlock Holmes himself, and two others are written in the third person.

It’s an interesting cast and you can check further details HERE

Robert Downey Jr. … Sherlock Holmes

Jude Law … Dr. John Watson

Rachel McAdams … Irene Adler

Mark Strong … Lord Blackwood

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 ( IMDb review). I think this is the final case like in 1914. Well I’m not an expert but looks quite entertaining.

And if you are in London, step back in time and visit the 221b Baker Street, The Official Home of Sherlock Holmes .
