Oh, he'll still have his sidekick Dr. John H. Watson and his pipe will most likely make appearances, but the Sherlock Holmes for the new millennium will also "be more adventuresome and take advantage of his skills as a boxer and swordsman."
Guy Ritchie has signed on to direct the movie which will be based on Lionel Wigram's upcoming comic book, Sherlock Holmes. As Variety reminds us, "Arthur Conan Doyle's stories about Holmes, written in the late 19th century, emphasized the detective's intellectual brilliance and power of deductive reasoning. The pipe-smoking character has been portrayed in more than 200 film and TV shows."
So, let's talk casting. Who should play this new, boxing, sword-wielding Holmes?
Emanuela Passeri
Kate Moss

Guy Pierce! Great actor, foxy, could smoke a pipe convincingly.
1Bella you are RIGHT ONE!! He is not in enough!! Guy Pierce would be great!
2I've always envisioned Sherlock Holmes played by Hugh Laurie, but that was before the ass-kicking was included.
3Well, Hugh Laurie already performs Sherlock Holmes so darn well...
He just needs a
nice dapper suit and look less scruffy than House.
4Christian Bale or Clive Owen
5If they wanted to cast the old fashioned, unattractive Holmes with a big nose. I think Tim Roth could pull it off.
6An American who could do a good British accent? Johnny Depp played a cop on tv. So, I think he could pull it off, if they wanted to add an enigmatic/exotic edge ro Holmes.
7sorry typo.. above should read to not ro..
8My mom will be psyched to hear this!
9i agree with whiplashgirl!
10this could be interesting.
