There was Sherlock Holmes movie news recently (Guy Ritchie looking to re-invent the old sleuth story) and now there's more Sherlock Holmes movie news (Sacha Baron Cohen playing Holmes, Will Ferrell to play Watson in, of course, a comedic version). Can we call it a Sherlock Holmes "surge" or "trend" yet?
Regardless, there are two Holmes projects in the works and both sound intriguing. Especially now that I've seen the (freaking amazing) trailer for Ritchie's upcoming RocknRolla, I can't wait to see what kind of Sherlock Holmes movie Ritchie can create.
At the same time, Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell? Um, yes, please. They're funny together in Talladega Nights, and this movie has the potential to be hilarious, especially with Judd Apatow producing (though we know that's not always the sure sign of a great flick).
Which of these sounds more interesting to you?

love Sherlock Holmes, lovvvvvve Guy Ritchie, and love Will Ferrel and SBC - I will watch and probably love both these movies...
1i'll see both, but if they came out same weekend, I'd see guy richie's first probably.
2Both!
3i love guy ritchie's movies!!
4I'll plan on seeing Ritchie's, but wait and see on Will & SBC's version - lots of talent, lots of success could equal two big egos that spin out of control.
5Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell's! I'm cracking up already.
6I love Guy Ritchie's older movies, but he hasn't made a good movie in a number of years...really since Snatch. But maybe with a good script he could make it really good again. I really don't like Sacha Baron Cohen though, so pass on that. I'd actually like to see Will Ferrell as Sherlock and get someone who is more of a "straight man" to play Watson. I think I would like a gritier Ritchie version better than a comedy though.
7I love the Sherlock Holmes stories. Everybody should check them out. Such fun little mysteries! I'd probably see the more serious version first.
8I love Sherlock Holmes! A Study in Scarlett is probably my fave! I want the more serious movie, the one that recognizes Holmes never said, "Elementary, my dear Watson". So I'm going to watch Guy Ritchie's
9There is no way that the Will and Sasha version will be short of genius. I'm excited for it already.
10Think the Cohen and Ferrell one will be hilarious!
