Catching up a bit on things we were too lazy to write about during the week/didn’t care that much about.
Entertainment Weekly recently learned that British actor, Jude Law, is in talks for the role of Dr. Watson in Guy Ritchie’s upcoming ‘Sherlock Holmes’ project. He hasn’t been confirmed for the role yet, and we will most likely know the truth in a few days. We like Law, but it is difficult to see him as Watson. He would make an excellent Sherlock. Then again, we have no idea what direction the character is taking in this certain adaptation, so we will see.
This isn’t the first time a high profile actor has been rumored for Watson though. Russell Crowe was rumored for the role, but it ended up he was actually in talks for one of the villains, Moriarty. Crowe has yet to be officially cast.
Other ‘Sherlock’ casting rumors include “Prime Suspect” star, Mark Strong as the main villain of the film, Algernon Blackwood. For now, Robert Downey Jr. is the only official member of the cast.
