Women’s Clothing and Weddings… As Holmes and Watson Return!
Posted on July 13th, 2011 at 5:51 pm by
In the upcoming Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, we see Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law reunited as Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, in what the famed Baker Street detective describes as being the ‘single, most important’ case of his career.
Fans will not be disappointed as they get to see the dynamic duo shooting baddies, surviving explosions, getting married and even dressing up in, um…woman’s clothing…”I agree, it’s not my best disguise” Holmes tells Watson, “But I had to make do”… Er, not so elementary Holmes!
The pair are then embroiled in a series of nail-biting encounters as they attempt outwit the most notorious criminal mastermind – the ominous Professor Moriarty, played by Jared Harris.
Not to mention the stunning presence of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo actress, a virtually unrecognizable Noomi Rapace as the gypsy Sim, who reads Holmes his tarot cards, warning him: “The cards can illuminate your future. I have a feeling you’re in danger.”
An insider revealed: “Moriarty is Holmes’s intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective.”
After raking in $524 million worldwide during its holiday season run nearly two years ago – according to Box Office Mojo, it didn’t take a master detective to figure out that there would be a sequel.
Best of all, from what I can tell in the high-octane trailer directed by Guy Ritchie, the same wit and style that audiences loved so much in the first installment has carried over into this film, which is sure to put as many bums on seats when it opens in theaters on December 16.
I can’t wait… Deerstalkers and tobacco pipes at the ready!
David Tennant to Play The Hulk?!?!?

Various sources, including the Los Angeles Times, are reporting that former Doctor Who actor David Tennant is in talks to play Bruce Banner, aka The Hulk, in The Avengers movie expected out in May 2012. If the reports are true, Tennant would be joining Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, and Scarlet Johansson as Black Widow.
This rumor about Tennant spread after Marvel Studios announced earlier in the week that Edward Norton, who portrayed the green giant in 2008’s The Incredible Hulk, would not be reprising the role for the upcoming Joss Whedon-directed project. Marvel is expected to officially declare who will play The Hulk this summer at Comic-Con in San Diego.
Is it just me or does the idea of Tennant playing Bruce Banner / The Hulk sound equally as bad as Andrew Garfield playing Peter Parker / Spider-Man? A skinny pale British actor playing a muscular American superhero… a perfect match? I don’t think so!
