That could be worth a watch. It does look good.

Cummerbatch could replace Brett as the definitive Holmes, if they were to remake the Cannon.

Meade, do you want this one, or should I do it?

Oh bollocks .

Well, that trailer is a lot less campy than the original trailer:Gob wrote:Cummerbatch could replace Brett as the definitive Holmes, if they were to remake the Cannon.
But there's still the line about "wear the hat"...
If he wanted to replace Jeremy Brett as the definitive Holmes, does he have the chops to do it?
Perhaps, but he'd have to lose the camp and devote himself to the role...
Why would a guy making the money he's making in Hollywood do such a thing?
I think a much more logical move for Cumberbatch would be as the next James Bond:
That works...

Sorry, no. Too geeky, too "cute," not enough edge. This is my vote for the next James Bond:

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Having seen him in other roles, as well as the more serious parts of the BBC "Sherlock" series, I'd say yes.Lord Jim wrote:

Too skinny. He could do both though, they aren't mutually exclusive.

Re: This is the 19th century!
You know Jim, that original trailer scares me a bit; I have very little of a tolerance for camp in things that should (at least to me) be serious.
Re: This is the 19th century!
Oh the news Sherlock has always had an element of "camp".
Mark Gatiss one of the driving forces of the writing and production, (who also plays Mycroft Holmes*) is a gay chap, and I'd be surprised if that were not his influence.
I found the interplay between, Watson and Mrs Hudson around Holmes and Watson "having lover's tiffs", highly amusing.
* A SKINNY "Mycroft Holmes," has to be more blasphemous than a Black Bond, surely?

Re: This is the 19th century!
One of the things Brett got right, was the fact that Holmes never wore the "deer stalker" signature Holmes hat in the city...
In 39 episodes, I believe he wore it only about a half a dozen times, and always in the country...which is the only place where a gentleman of his stature would have worn such a hat in the late 1800s....
In the city, gentlemen wore top hats or bowlers...

Re: This is the 19th century!
Good catch Jim. There's no mention of Holmes wearing a deerstalker in the canon, it comes from Padget's illustrations for the Strand magazines.

Can't wait!
