I don't know if any of you are as excited about the new 'Sherlock Holmes' movie as I am, but here is some new info and pictures and stuff anyway.
According to USA Today, they're trying to bring the movie down to a PG-13 rating. Thus, very little bad language and outright violence. As far as this goes, I'll have to agree with Dustin over at Pajiba:
I don’t want family friendly, goddamnit. I want blood. I want Sherlock to shoot someone in the face and say, “Elementary.” I want full-on doublebacking, coke snorting, and a hardcore murder mystery. I don’t want a family friendly Sherlock Holmes. Damnit.
Mostly this is just because it's a Guy Ritchie film, and the idea of Guy Ritche making anything PG-13 is a hard one for my brain to process. However, someone pointed out that 'The Dark Knight' was PG-13 and still managed to be pretty dark, and it'll be interesting to see if Ritchie can write a decent script without the words "fuck" or "cunt" (and he can probably sneak some of the British counterparts in there too, right? The MPAA has a tendency not to catch that stuff), so I haven't given up hope.
