The Brothers Warner have just dumped the trailer for Guy Ritchie’s "Sherlock Holmes" on the world and we must say, it seems more Disney Pirates-esque than we may have thought. It stars Robert Downey Jr. as the title character of the Arthur Conan Doyle books and short stories. Jude Law co-stars as Dr. John Watson, Rachel McAdams plays Holmes’ love-interest, “the deceptive” Irene Adler. And Mark Strong plays the film’s villain Lord Blackwood, an industrialist who “holds sway over a cult of dark-arts practitioners and claims to possess supernatural powers, is linked to a series of murders.”
The film’s action-comedy tone aside it certainly does seem to also include Ritchie’s signature style as well.
Here's the official plot: In a dynamic new portrayal of Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous characters, “Sherlock Holmes” sends Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson on their latest challenge. Revealing fighting skills as lethal as his legendary intellect, Holmes will battle as never before to bring down a new nemesis and unravel a deadly plot that could destroy the country.
Sherlock Holmes will hit theaters on December 25th 2009.
