Here is the first still from the as yet untitled sequel to Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Homes film.
We loved the first film. Robert Downey Jr was on perfect from as the troubled yet brilliant crime solving genius and Jude Law was great as the slightly weary Doctor Watson.
The only slight misstep was Rachael McAdams as Irene Adler. She just seemed a bit out of place like she had been inserted to please American audiences.
Thankfully she appears to be replaced as a love interest by none other than Noomi Rapace who rose to international fame as Lisbeth Salander from the film adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. She looks very different when she is not dressed as a goth.
If you’ve not seen the subtitled film directed by Niels Arden Oplev it’s definitely worth catching.
Also new to the cast of Sherlock Homes 2 is Stephen Fry who will be playing Mycroft Holmes (Sherlock’s older brother).
Even more excitingly the face of Professor Moriarty will be revealed at last as Jared Harris, who was last seen striding around wearing a lovely suit in Mad Men.
We can’t wait.
