In what will be his first job since the blockbuster
"Iron Man," Robert Downey Jr. is set to star in "Sherlock Holmes," the drama that Guy Ritchie will direct for Warner Bros.
Downey committed to the pic, which begins shooting in October, after Ritchie turned in a polish of the latest version of the script, written by
Anthony Peckham.
Joel Silver,
Lionel Wigram,
Susan Downey and
Dan Lin are producing.
Downey emerged as an action star with "Iron Man" and "Sherlock Holmes" also will take advantage of his physical skills as the character displays brawn as well as brains.
The basis for the film is
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic tales, but also the comicbook "Sherlock Holmes."
With Downey aboard, the film will go into production before a comedy that just coalesced at
Columbia Pictures, with
Sacha Baron Cohen playing Holmes, and
Will Ferrell playing his crime-fighting partner Dr. Watson.
Columbia is fast tracking its project, which is being written by
Etan Cohen (
"Tropic Thunder") and produced by
Judd Apatow and
Jimmy Miller.
Downey next will be seen in "Tropic Thunder," and then stars with
Jamie Foxx in the
Joe Wright-directed "The Soloist" for DreamWorks. He'll reprise his Tony Stark role in Iron Man 2 for Marvel Studios and Paramount, with Jon Favreau directing.
