The trailer for Sherlock Holmes starring Robert Downey, Jr., Jude Law and Rachel McAdams is out. I’m surprised that they’re releasing it this early as it seems like they were just filming last month. Plus the movie is not out until Christmas. Sherlock Holmes is directed by Guy Ritchie, who co-wrote the screenplay based on the famous detective series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle set in the late 19th and early 20th century. It’s hard to tell if the movie will be decent or not based on these clips. They make it look like a mix of a gag-type buddy comedy with a serious action film. This could either be brilliantly entertaining or somewhat of a dud. I hope it’s good for the actors’ sake, though, as I like both Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. I can go either way on director Guy Ritchie. He had the sense to divorce Madonna finally, but he did stay married to her for eight years. That’s got to take a high level of masochism.
