Casting call...

So, in "fuck me with a wheelbarrow, I wish Hollywood would curl up and fucking die, die DIE" news this week, Guy "Mr Madonna" Ritchie - whom you may recall once directed a movie that didn't suck - is onboard to "reimagine" Sherlock Holmes.

The concept sees the character be more adventuresome and less stuffy than previous screen incarnations and

I loved Rupert Everett in new Sherlock Holmes story "The Case Of The Silk Stockings". Really interesting and quite dark story.

I think I have it on VHS somehwere, if you haven't seen it, I may be able to bring it along on the weekend. I think there is a VHS player there.

James Nesbitt works well with soon-to-be-new head Dr Who writer Stephen Moffat (who wrote Jekyll, and the Dr Who stories Empty Child, Doctor Dances, Girl In The Fireplace, Blink, Shadows In The Library). Would be a good combo.

That's kinda my call too :)

Zac Effron the lead. The taco bell chiauauua to play his dog.

Holmes has a dog?!

DID SESAME STREET LIE TO ME?????????

Ok on second thought, I think I have confused Sherlock Holmes with Basil the Mouse detective. Which is quite embarrassing really.

Vinnie Jones must be in every single Guy Ritchie film created, and he has to populate Holmes' upper-estuary Baker Street with cockneys and chavs. Cos, y'know.

YES. NESBITT FOR 11. CRAZY HYDE-DOCTOR. YES.
(especially now that Scary-Pants Moffatt is taking over from Rusty Davies... the next series is going to be much darker, I think)

Oh shit. You are so right. Vinnie Fucking Jones as Holmes.

[mamfidd]

Brad Pitt as Watson... too horrible. Benicio del Toro as Moriarty... actually not too bad.

<3 James Nesbitt.

I don't think Michael Caines' Holmes was stuffy. Perhaps they should get him to reprise his 'Without a Clue' role?
