Sherlock Holmes partners with VisitBritain for tourism campaign
12 November 2009 7:21 AM, PST | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »
A month ago we reported VisitEngland’s prediction that England would become a hotbed of tourism thanks to its many upcoming big screen appearances in high profile movies such as Sherlock Holmes (see Related Content, right). And it seems this was no pie in the sky theory as none other than tourism agency VisitBritain has partnered with the Guy Ritchie-directed mystery to promote this fair isle. The campaign invites tourists to discover Holmes’s Britain, past and present, with the VisitBritain website offering an online movie map that charts places boasting a connection with the super sleuth (to be played by Robert Downey Jr.) and his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. »

England gets Collison, Scotland gets car-crash telly
10 November 2009 6:34 AM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Scots saw the ads and read all the hype about Collision but got The Greatest Scot instead
The English can whine about the Barnett formula all they want – but they don't know how lucky they are. Last night while English audiences being treated to the first episode of the much hyped and rather exciting-looking Collision, Scottish audiences were forcefed The Greatest Scot – part one of a week-long examination of championed Scottish inventors, warriors and celebrities (though oddly, Dougie Henshall, the Scottish star of Collision, did not made the shortlist).
Scottish viewers have become used to cash-strapped Stv opting out of high-profile, high-quality drama in preference for a homespun piece of hokum – I've discussed the issue on this blog before – but this swap felt like a particularly cruel example of cultural exclusion. Scots are well aware of Collision – we've read numerous breathless previews and noted the number of times the show »

New 'Sherlock Holmes' Trailer Offers All Kind of Fights
4 November 2009 6:53 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
"Sherlock Holmes" won't play in theaters until Christmas Day, but Warner Bros. Pictures has offered more taste of its action and especially bromance through a brand new trailer. Debuted at MTV, this sneak peek mostly centers on Holmes and Watson as they work together while bickering all the way. At one point, Rachel McAdams' Irene Adler says, "They've been flirting this way for hours!"
The trailer also presents all kind of fights from gunfights to fistfights. Earlier, star Robert Downey Jr. has told MTV about how his legendary detective character practices his fighting skills. "He thinks through all eventualities, possibilities and counterattacks when he's fighting, so he actually has the fight worked out before he starts," so the actor claimed.
Beside the new trailer, a fresh featurette for this actioner has also been released. Courtesy of Cineplex, the video lets out a behind-the-scenes look at the movie. It also »

Final Sherlock Holmes Trailer: Exciting, Isn’t It?
4 November 2009 3:23 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
There's no doubt that Warner Bros. wants this version of Sherlock Holmes, of which the vision is derived from the wild mind of Guy Ritchie, to be the exciting, exhilarating version of Sherlock Holmes. This runs in contrary to what many Holmes fans would suggest is the true nature of the character created by Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes has always been a thinker, a scientist and a clever detective. But Ritchie's version seems to take on Holmes' wild side -- the boxer, the philanderer, the smart-ass. Fair enough, I suppose. It should make for a shiny, glossy Hollywood actioner fit for a holiday weekend release. With that in mind, check out the new trailer for the film below, which comes courtesy of MTV. In it, we are given more of the film's plot -- including the looming presence of Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong), the film's mysterious villain. As well, we see more action! Sherlock Holmes »

Sherlock Holmes Movie Trailer #3: Action Packed!
4 November 2009 1:49 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Warner Bros has released a thrid movie trailer for Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes on MTV. The trailer is again the odd mix of stylistic action and slapstick-approaching comedy. This trailer definitely has more action packed between faster cuts and loud music, probably an attempt to appeal to the younger MTV demographic. The film looks like Ritchie's most accessible film to date. Watch the trailer embedded after the jump. In a dynamic new portrayal of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous characters, “Sherlock Holmes” sends Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson on their latest challenge. Revealing fighting skills as lethal as his legendary intellect, Holmes will battle as never before to bring down a new nemesis and unravel a deadly plot that could destroy the country. Watch the trailer in High Definiton on MTV. Sherlock Holmes hits theaters on December 25th 2009. »

New Sherlock Holmes Trailer
4 November 2009 11:03 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
A new trailer for Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes” has been released and it looks fantastic. If you weren’t excited after watching the first trailer all those months ago, this trailer is going to get you. It’s loaded with new footage and it really showcases the action. Also, we get to see some great bromance between Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law.
The only thing I’m still nervous about is Downey’s accent. While it’s not terrible, there is something about it that isn’t working for me. I’m just hoping when I finally see the movie his accent isn’t a distraction. Check out the trailer after the jump and tell me this doesn’t look like a fun ride. “Sherlock Holmes” gets released Christmas Day.
Here’s the synopsis:

Exclusive: 'Sherlock Holmes' Trailer Is Action-Packed, Looking Great
4 November 2009 9:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
As if we needed any more reason to see Guy Ritchie's interpretation of "Sherlock Holmes," the master London detective made famous by creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Ritchie's feels like a more action-oriented take on the character, which is fitting with Robert Downey Jr. in the starring role. Even Watson -- played by Jude Law -- comes off as a near-equal badass rather than the inquisitive sidekick his character is traditionally portrayed as. I've got a good feeling about this one. Share your thoughts on the trailer in the comments section below.
Check out the movie when it hits theaters on December 25! And head over to MTV.com to check out the trailer in glorious HD!

Downey's 'Sherlock': Less Gent, More Hero
2 November 2009 9:11 AM, PST | newser.com | See recent newser news »
The new Sherlock Holmes, played by Robert Downey Jr, is no tweed-clad gentleman. In the latest movie remake, which opens Christmas Day, the detective is reimagined as a ripped martial arts expert "with a mind that whizzes along like a Ferrari and a penchant for falling into a disheveled slough of depression," Rachel Abramowitz writes in the La Times. And that's exactly how Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would have wanted it, the movie's producer says. When Lionel Wigram started rereading Doyle's books, "my big discovery was that the original stories that were written 120 years ago were more modern than... »
Sherlock Holmes Script Review
1 November 2009 6:32 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic detective is getting the Hollywood treatment. Guy Ritchie is bringing his unique style to Sherlock Holmes this Christmas with a cast worthy of its subject. Robert Downey Jr. is starring, along with Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, and Mark Strong. Plus Brad Pitt has been rumored for a pretty exciting cameo that has people talking already. But before Holmes’ reinvention on screen, I thought we’d take a look at an early draft of the screenplay from screenwriter Mike Johnson and comic book scribe/producer Lionel Wigram.
It’s obvious from the trailer this isn’t the traditional version of the characters where two stuffy Brits label things as “dreadful” or “delightful” while sucking on the tip of a corncob pipe. The script calls for a modern revitalization full of Bourne style action sequences, growing suspense, and humorous banter. Based on the script alone, this will »

Sherlock Holmes will save Seth MacFarlane

Well, Apple didn't take my suggestion to replace Microsoft as the new sponsor of Seth MacFarlane's comedy special. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stepped up. Actually, it's Warner Bothers Pictures' Sherlock Holmes that'll sponsor the MacFarlane variety special.
Microsoft backed out of Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show when they caught a run through of the program and objected to the humor. Goodness only knows what they thought they were getting with Seth, but it's all water under the bridge now.

Brand New Poster For Sherlock Holmes
27 October 2009 12:43 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
As the title suggests folks, a new poster has surfaced for Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Mark Strong and Rachael McAdams.
If you haven’t yet read anything about Ritchie’s gritty take on the famous detective then where the hell have you been? Holmes (due out Boxing Day) is based on a graphic novel which is, in turn, based on the Arthur Conan Doyle’s source material. What we’re presented with is a ‘rough around the edges’, bare knuckle boxing Holmes which won’t be instantly recognisable to Holmes aficionados – but should make for damn good cinema!
So check out the poster below, courtesy of Cinematical, and don’t forget – Boxing Day (it’s gotta be better than the shite Christmas Television right?):
