Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes International Trailer
A new international trailer has been released this week for Guy Ritchie’s re-imagining of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes. As you may know, the movie stars Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes and Jude Law as Dr. Watson, and as the first trailer proved, it’s aiming to be a pretty high-energy action movie. I’m okay with that, but what I’m more interested in are the fun comedic elements and the interplay between Holmes and Watson. Could Sherlock Holmes mark the return of the Victorian Era buddy cop film?
Well, the new trailer isn’t all that different from the original, but it does have some additional footage sprinkled throughout, and there are some nice character moments as well. Plus, the more I see of it, the more I am digging the look of this movie (cinematographer Philippe Rousselot previously shot Interview with the Vampire some recent Tim Burton films including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Big Fish). Yep, I guess there’s no point in denying it… I’m actually pretty excited about Sherlock Holmes. Check out the new trailer after the jump and see what you think.

looks ridiculous but hopefully fun. they should’ve just called it ‘holmes’.
is the sacha baron cohen/will ferrell sherlock holmes movie still on?
Posted by Joel on July 16th, 2009i hate the direction they’re taking sherlock holmes in. finally the opportunity to update the stories of master storyteller conan doyle and they give it to fucking guy ritchie, who hasn’t done a good movie for almost 10 years. the character just doesn’t work for me in the action/comedy genre
Posted by AlexG on July 16th, 2009The Will Ferrell / Sacha Baron Cohen version is currently on hold at the moment.

Posted by Sean on July 16th, 2009That last shot in the trailer…. The background looks fake as hell… That stuff drives me nuts because they could of just shot that or at least made it look real. Ok so it is just a trailer and they might fix it or pull it out of the movie. But I will never understand why a studio would put fake looking crap in the trailer for the movie. The idea is to sell us on seeing the movie.
Posted by BigHungry on July 16th, 2009This is going to be the Robert Downey Jr. show. I can’t help but NOT look forward to it with that in mind.
Posted by Jonathan on July 17th, 2009Going against the masses, I am really looking forward to this. It looks fun as hell.
Posted by Kasper F. Nielsen on July 18th, 2009I don’t think Guy Ritchie ever made a good movie and I hate Jude Law but I’m still looking forward to this, testimony to my faith in Downey jnr’s ability to deliver. I know even if the movie is shit, he’ll hold it together. Rachel is hot too
Posted by Ray on July 21st, 2009I hope it still has that ritchie flare to it. He is one of my favourite directors. I hope this doesn’t ruin him.
