Sherlock Holmes

A man with smartly-styled hair and a rogueish smirk stands with his hands crossed at his waist. He is wearing an intricately-patterned waistcoat and hip-length leather trenchcoat. Over his shoulder looks a man with a moustache in a more traditional English suit wearing a top hat and leather gloves and holding a cane across his shoulder. The background contains a display featuring a window, obscured by the two men, surrounded by shelves containing objects including a revolver, a raven and a bottle. Above the shelves appear various visions including a gaunt-looking man in a high-collared coat, a bulldog and a woman with a seductive smile. Above the window the title "Sherlock Holmes" appears, while below the scene lies the caption "Holmes for the holiday".

I'm a fan of Guy Ritchie's films, save one, and I was initially surprised how Hollywood this was, but I quickly got over it and enjoyed it for what it was. For those who had to read Holmes' stories as a kid, you knew too that Moriarty was pulling the strings. I really liked that bit.

Wikipedia: "When Guy Ritchie finished the movie, he discussed a sequel with the production team. Robert Downey, Jr., Jude Law and other cast members also signed up to a possible sequel. Ritchie has started to write the story and pre-production begins on March 21, 2010. Sherlock Holmes 2 is a possible title for the film, which will help to cement the new Sherlock Holmes franchise. It is rumored that Brad Pitt might play the role of Professor Moriarty.^[20]

^{Now that'd be interesting!}
