Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

[PWN3R]

Fantastic trailer. The bromantic film of the year, can't wait.

 

[Raiden]

I really like the trailer, and it seems like they've added in more explosions and comedy (particularly Sherlock in drag). I enjoy RDJ's humor but I hope they won't go overboard with the silliness; I like it to be more dramatic laced with humor from the interaction between Holmes and Watson. Noomi Rapace looks good here and I'm glad to see her making it in Hollywood after her superb performances in the Dragon Tattoo trilogy.

 

[Prison Mike]

Cool trailer but the title sounds more like a video game.

 

[Paroxysm]

I am pumped to see this. I loved the first one and after seeing the trailer this one looks like it's even better.

 

[Project862006]

watching this makes me wonder why Richie has'nt done a comic book film yet

 

[Doctor Jones]

What does Law saw to RDJ before he kicks him in the ass when they're on the side of the train?

 

[PWN3R]

"I'm on my (kicks) honeymoon!"

 

[Hunter Rider]

Finally saw the trailer, it looks like great fun. the scale is clearly bigger but the things that made the first work seem to be in place.

I know the story supposedly has some of 'The Final Problem' in it but I also noticed what could be Col. Sebastian Moran in the trailer (Guy with the sniper rifle), he's Moriarty's right hand man and features in 'The Empty House' which was the first story in The Return of Sherlock Holmes run.

There was so much going on in the trailer... it was hard to tell what was going in. Still, it looks entertaining, and like it has far more action than the first film.

 

[BestGirl]

I hope this movie isn't too comical. I mean Moriarty has to be a real threatening, frightening individual. I also hope Mycroft is a significant presence in the movie. I always liked him in the stories and TV shows.

 

[Paroxysm]

Moriarty has to be a real threatening,
frightening individual.

I won't worry about that, Jared Harris is an excellent actor.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I checked the credits on IMDB and there is a Moran in it, so this shot is most likely as I thought. It's great that the writers are mining the Holmes mythos.

 

[Patzo3000]

Well the writers are huge fans of the original novels so it isn't much of a surprise.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Still, it's always nice to see them using classic parts of the mythos, it doesn't always happen on a big studio picture.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

I'm liking the amped up homoeroticism.

 

[Doctor Jones]

"I'm on my (kicks) honeymoon!"

Ah.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Finally got around to watching the trailer. This looks good, really good. I'm excited!

[steintym]

Nice!

 

[Doctor Jones]

I'm pretty sure that's not a new picture.

 

[Crockett]

Yeah, that pic is not new.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is on the cover of the new Empire issue.

http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=31855

Downey Jr. talking a bit about the movie and Harris about playing Moriarty.

This time, Sherlock himself is a bit more pulled together - he's got some snazzy new duds, for instance - and the crew are determined not to rest on their laurels (or sacks of cash) from last time. Says Downey, "Last time we were, I think, treated very kindly, considering that the movie had enough really good, bright, sweet parts and it kinda held up. However, it wasn't exactly the most innovative or clever act three of any movie. But we're all confident that, this time, for the bones of the story, we couldn't work it out any better than we have."

We also chatted to Jared Harris about playing arch villain Professor Moriarty. "He's the ringmaster. He casts his shadow over the whole film, he's the motivator of the plot.

"I'm sure you've noticed that people who don't really give a **** what anybody else thinks, and don't care what the consequences of their actions are are long as they're okay, and don't believe in any kind of divine retribution, they have a licence to do absolutely anything they want. And people who operate within a moral compass, like Sherlock Holmes, their hands are tied. So I'd say Moriarty is very dangerous."

 

[TheVileOne]

I'm excited, but the trailer makes it almost look exactly the same as the first one. I hope it doesn't suffer from sequelitis. I thought the call back to the "get that thing out of my face" from the first movie was a little weak. I thought it was fine in the first movie, but it's new placement here I found "meh."

 

[echostation]

I really look forward to this film but it doesn't come close to the quality of the 2010 Benedict Cumberbash show... that show is just bloody sublime

Until Moriarty showed up.

Anyway, I was pleased to read that interview with Downey. If he's telling the truth, they've really upped their game in this movie and the dynamic between Holmes and Moriarty sounds TDK-esque.
