I also absolutely need to post this teaser trailer for a short film that Benedict Cumberbatch filmed during the break in between eps 1/2 and 3 of Sherlock (from what I can tell). It was actually crowdfunded - and I missed all of that because only every now and then will someone post on
cumberbatchfans on LJ anymore since the whole fandom has moved to Tumblr, grrr. Still, the trailer looks amazing and I can not wait to see this short!!!
Synopsis: LITTLE FAVOUR follows the story of WALLACE (Benedict Cumberbatch) when he is contacted by a former colleague to help him out with a deal gone wrong.
"Its been 7 years since he left Her Majesty's service and 10 years since the American Counter part who became his friend, saved his life on a joint mission in Iraq. He's migrated his skill set into a lucrative business while managing to keep his secret battle with PTSD under wraps. One day, while finally deciding to try his hand at a functional relationship, his old friend JAMES cashes in his chip and asks a LITTLE FAVOUR. How could he refuse when he owes the man his life?
Here it is - Little Favour (WARNING: gritty and somewhat bloody):

Facebook Page of Sunny March, the production company (which is apparently partly owned by Benedict, whee), or on their
twitter. The crowd funding campaign page is still available on
indiegogo.com, if you're interested in some background info.
