Sure, this will ruffle some feathers, but Sherlock Holmes was never really a polite, stuffy old gent. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s novels show the British detective’s drug use, fighting skills and social awkwardness. Robert Downey Jr. is an interesting choice for the man in the deerstalker cap, and Guy Ricthie looks to be making a more traditional Hollywood film, hopefully to show he’s not a one-trick pony. Let’s be honest, his last film, RocknRolla was not exactly dissimilar to his previous films. If you want more Holmes, Dynamite’s new comic series is out now too, while the film opens on Christmas Day.
