Warner Brothers has revealed the latest poster for its upcoming reinvention of the literary detective Sherlock Holmes. Click on the image to see a higher resolution version!
The poster prominently features Robert Downey Jr. and Jude law as Holmes and Watson, respectively, looking rather dapper and a tad bit smug. Of course, Guy Ritchie is directing this retooling of the classic Sir Arthur Conan Doyle characters, so they have a right to be a little full of themselves. Or maybe that's just because they're British.
Either way, they look much more dashing and daring on this poster than they do in a recent movie still. I hope that's just because they were trying to be incognito before.
Word around the campfire is that these characters will be a new breed of stodgy British detective, combining exemplary analytical skills with the ability to... kick ass? That's right, ye olde Scotland Yard apparently requires a black-belt in Guy Ritchie's version.
Sherlock Holmes is set to roundhouse a loafer to your face this Christmas Day!

I am really looking forward to the new Sherlock Holmes movie, and can’t wait to see Jude Law acting in it! I see he is currently featured in an online game they have made to tie in with the film.

Since the movie only opens in December, I’m going to get my fix there in the meantime.
Thought you might be interested!
