[noticia] CBS anuncia serie de Sherlock moderno
La CBS ha anunciado que ha dado luz verde al piloto de una nueva serie llamada Elementary, una versión moderna del Sherlock Holmes de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle y la cual será producida por Robert Doherty (Medium). Nos dicen que esperemos noticias de esta idea tan original y fresca aproximadamente en mayo de este año.
Nadie pude explicarse el porqué de semejante decisión cuando ya existe en antena una serie con la misma idea (y la cual es de una calidad que será difícil de superar), y hasta hoy lo único que han conseguido es ser la burla de los medios y, cómo no, de los fans.
Sólo esperemos que no sea demasiado horrible como para degradar al personaje, aunque... yo tengo bastantes reservas. Es que es la CBS. Si al menos fuera HBO...
CBS is looking to bring even more Sherlock Homes to the entertainment industry by announcing today that they have ordered pilot for Elementary, a modern-day take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic Sherlock Holmes cases by former Medium producer and writer, Robert Doherty.
This series, which will also have A Gifted Man and Unforgettable executive producers Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly serving as producers, would mark the second Sherlock Holmes-based series currently on television.
In 2010, the BBC and PBS premiered Sherlock, which, similar to CBS’ Elementary, is a modern-day telling of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and his chronicler Dr. Watson. The show stars Benedict Cumberbatch (Star Trek 2) and Martin Freeman (The Hobbit), respectively.
Created by Doctor Who executive producer Stephen Moffat and The League of Gentleman star Mark Gatiss, Sherlock just completed its second season in the UK and went on to win a BAFTA for Best Drama Series, Best Editing and Best Support Actor for Freeman.
Despite the increased demand for both Cumberbatch and Freeman in Hollywood, both actors are expected to return for a third season of Sherlock in 2013.
With CBS ordering a pilot that’s thematically similar to Sherlock, one has to question what exactly CBS’ intentions are for their potential new series - and whether or not the world of entertainment already has its fill of Holmes-based projects.
On top of the possibility that television will have two Sherlock Holmes series, there are always the Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes films with Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law waiting on cable - not to mention, Sherlock Holmes 3 expected in theaters in late 2013.
While there certainly is the potential for an oversaturation of Sherlock Homes, it appears that CBS may not only be trying to benefit from the financial success of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, but also benefit from the critical acclaim and word of mouth that Sherlock is receiving.
