Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes an "intellectual action man"? I don't know what Guy Ritchie is drinking. He speaks at Comic-Com about the movie Sherlock Holmes he's working on, which will star Robert Downey Jr. as the famous fictional detective, who will get to wield a sword and his fists. Empire and SpoutBlog have the details. The film is adapted from a forthcoming comic book series by Lionel Wigram. [imdb]
My favourite character from a Ritchie film was never any of the tough guys, or even Brad Pitt's hilarious Irish gypsy from Snatch; it was Steven Mackintosh's clueless drug dealer Winston from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Actually, any Steven Mackintosh character is usually pretty loveable, in a sleezy, don't-touch-me kind of way. His vampire historian, hedonistic and full of false bravado, was the best part of the Underworld sequel. As neither a hero nor a real villain, he was so incredibly alive with throwaway quirks and mannerisms. If there's one reason to give Underworld: Rise of the Lycans a chance, apart from watching stars like Bill Nighy and Michael Sheen playing dress up, it will be to see Andreas Tanis again. Pictures from the Underworld prequel, Rise of the Lycans revealed at Comic-Con are up at Worst Previews. Rhona Mitra plays Sonja, the rebellious daughter of Viktor (Nighy), who falls in love with a werewolf, Lucian (Sheen). [imdb]
Video of the panel (hosted by Greg Grunberg) for NBC's new drama Kings, which is a modern reinterpretation of the David and Goliath tale, starring Ian McShane, Christopher Egan, Sebastian Stan, Susanna Thompson and Allison Miller. [imdb]
The True Blood panel at Comic-Con, report by Jace. Produced/directed by Alan Ball (Six Feet Under), the series stars Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, Rutina Wesley, Ryan Kwanten, Sam Trammell and Lois Smith. [imdb]
Jess Whedon confirms that there will be more Dr. Horrible.
Watchman at Comic-Con, here and here at io9. SproutBlog has a (pretty snarky) transcript of the event. The official site is now live. [imdb]
Promo for season three of Dexter.
