Photographs of Jude Law as Dr. Watson in Guy Richie’s 2009 Sherlock Holmes movie have surfaced, just days after the appearance of the Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes photos. It is another exciting glimpse at Guy Richie’s upcoming and highly anticipated screen adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary character, detective Sherlock Holmes, which just began filming in October 2008 for a 2009 release. Rachel McAdams stars as Holmes’ love interest.
The continuing mystery (and it’s so appropriate we’re left with one when it comes to the great detective) is who we’ll see facing off against Holmes and Watson. Mark Strong is playing the villainous Blackwood, but lips are tight when it comes to Professor Moriarty making an appearance.
You might remember that Russell Crowe was reportedly in the running for the part, and rumors have continued to swirl around him even after Ritchie issued a denial at London’s “RocknRolla” premiere. Though Ritchie has brushed off talk of a sequel, a cast like this screams “franchise.” Perhaps Moriarty will be a surprise cameo the end?
Ritchie is really creating a mash-up of the most legendary of Holmes’ adventures — and while he refuses to say if the tweedy wardrobe and famous hat will make an appearance, he promises to showcase the detective’s skill in bare-knuckle boxing and martial-arts. What you won’t see is Holmes’ cocaine addiction — producer Joel Silver is aiming for good, clean PG-13 fun.
