Women’s Clothing and Weddings… As Holmes and Watson Return!

Thu, 14 Jul 2011 01:51:42 +0000

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!

A $10 Million London mansion belonging to Guy Ritchie has been taken over by squatters.

The dozen or so invaders have moved into the Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels director’s Grade-I listed property.

Who’s that girl? Guy Goes Public With His First ‘Official’ GF Since Madge!

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 16:24:33 +0000

Madonna’s relationship with toyboy Jesus Luz has been the one garnering column inches since her divorce from Guy Ritchie, but now it’s the director’s love life that’s in the spotlight.

Guy has been dating model Jacqui Ainsley since April this year but over the weekend they finally went public, posing on the red carpet of the Hoping for the Children of Palestine fundraiser on Saturday night.

And if that wasn’t enough for us to get the message Jacqui proceeded to watch the event’s entertainment while perched on Guy’s lap!

Of course, pics of Jacqui, 28, leaving Guy’s house did surface last month so you don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out they’re an item. Seems like Guy’s memories of Madonna have been Swept Away. He’s Snatched up Jacqui and isn’t letting go!

Jude’s calling in the Law-yers!

Mon, 29 Mar 2010 17:16:16 +0000

Jude Law is fuming over ex-wife Sadie Frost‘s upcoming tell all book.

The Sherlock Holmes actor has fallen out with the fashion designer/actress/ (what does she do again?) plans to publish an autobiography and has consulted solicitors Atkins Thomson, who just so happen to be girlfriend Sienna Miller’s solicitors too – so that will help relations then!

A source tells The Daily Mail: “Jude has told Sadie that he wants to know exactly what is written about him. He is very worried that some of the revelations could be damaging to his career and upsetting for their children when they are old enough to read it.’

Apparently the book will concentrate on Sadie’s upbringing and career, as well as her marriage to Jude.

I don’t know what you’re worried about Jude, after all the revelations surely there’s nothing else we can read about you that will shock us!

Judes Exudes Presence On Stage In Hamlet…

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 15:40:38 +0000

My artsy LA, LA’s were out in force in London’s West End last night to witness Jude Law defy his critics with his powerful portrayal of Hamlet in the Donmar’s West End season, at the Wyndham’s Theatre.

The audience greeted the Oscar-nominated star’s performance with rapturous applause as he finally showed them the full extent of his acting skills…

His powerful portrayal as the troubled Prince of Denmark in the production of the Shakespearean tragedy has allowed Law to have the last laugh, silencing the many that doubted his talent, smeared after the alleged, much publicised fling with his children’s nanny while dating actress Sienna Miller back in 2005.

I’m told Law is an excellent, likeable Hamlet, supported by an amazing cast which includes Penelope Wilton as Hamlet’s mother Gretrude, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Ophelia, Kevin R McNally as Claudius and Alex Waldman as Laertes, bringing a sophisticated edge to the characters in the Michael Grandage production.

According to reports the actor’s been talking about playing Hamlet for the last seven years and now his moment has arrived. He was recently quoted in the press saying Hamlet was “a bit like a great song that’s been covered by a load of different singers”

In the movie world Jude Law makes his much needed big screen comeback this Christmas playing Dr. Watson opposite Robert Downey jr. in Sherlock Holmes directed by Madonna’s ex, Guy Ritchie.

Nice to see Law on the right side of the tracks… for once!

Hamlet’ is at Wyndham’s Theatre, London WC2, from Friday to 22 August

Guy’s Dolls!

Sat, 30 May 2009 15:44:44 +0000

A little dickie tells me Guy Ritchie is considering his next movie move, and it’s not what you’d think.

The director, who is most famous for his hardman gangster flicks is thinking about making a new big-screen adaptation of the classic musical Guys and Dolls, which is er, basically gangsters wearing jazz shoes…

If true (and my souces are pretty good) it begs certain questions, like I wonder what his ex-missus will have to say about this, as music’s her department, and who would Guy cast in the lead roles?

Well you all know what a big Jason Statham fan I am, and Guy has always been one for putting his mates in his movies, well from what I hearing Jase Stath has long fancied himself as a bit of a ‘Sinatra-style’ crooner. If there’s ever been a man with the swagger to bring back the pearly king for 2010, it’s surley got to be uber-man Statham, he’s Tommy Steele on viagra, so playing the all singing and dancing gangster might be right up his (ahem) alley.

Then there’s Vinnie Jones, he might well like a stripy suit in real life, but could I really see him shuffle-ball-changing across a sound stage…? Erm maybe not!

As for Ewan McGregor he is the likeliest candidate to take a part if offered. McGregor trod on the boards back in 2005 playing dashing gambler Sky Masterson in London’s West End to rave reviews, his A-list pedigree would certianly be what’s needed to carry such a movie.

I can’t wait to see Ritchie’s upcoming film, Sherlock Holmes, which stars Robert Downey Jr doing his usual wry, wisecracking schtick as the title character, and Jude Law as his sidekick Watson, I saw the trailer the just recently and I have to say it looks brilliant. It’s an egregious twist for her but now Guy is finally out of Madonna’s spotlight it looks as if he is on course for a massive blockbuster…

I really hope Ritchie can pull this one off, after all Chicago did wonders for its director Rob Marshall, not to mention the career of Catherine Zeta Jones, Rene Zellweger and Richard Gere, although I can’t quite imagine how Guy’s favoured cockney accents, slow-mo fight scenes and action editing techniques will work in a musical. But ‘ang abaaat maybe that’s just what this musical needs…

Oh well, at least now he’s back on the market he won’t be forced into casting a certain someone as Miss Adelaide!
