I Say, What's This?

A new Holmes Movie?

Initially the whole 'reimagined' and 'adventuresome' thing put me off, but then I remembered: The reason I didn't bother pursuing the Holmes series when I was young is because I thought he just sat around smoking his pipe hand having no discernible personality until he'd say 'My dear Watson, I have figured it out!' Watson would reply 'Goodness, Holmes, you're brilliant!' then the famous 'Elementary, my dear Watson', end of story. It was only upon hearing a couple of radio plays and then reading further stories on my own that I discovered Sherlock does all sorts of interesting things (aside from generally being a LOONY) and there are many exciting episodes in the text, most notably the boat chase in The Sign of the Four which would be very cool in a movie.

We shall see.

I don't suppose they could persuade Christopher Nolan to direct...

The jury's still out for me. I feel like if they try to make him "more adventuresome" then he won't be Holmes anymore.

We shall see indeed. Hopefully, if it does get made, it will be good.
