LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is an upcoming 2011 action mystery film directed by Guy Ritchie and produced by Joel Silver, Lionel Wigram, Susan Downey and Dan Lin. It is a sequel to the 2009 film Sherlock Holmes based on the character of the same name created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The screenplay is by Kieran Mulroney and Michele Mulroney. Robert Downey, Jr.. and Jude Law reprise their roles as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson, respectively, as the duo join forces to outwit and bring down their most cunning adversary, Professor Moriarty, played by Jared Harris. Premise Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr..) and his longtime trusted associate, Dr. John Watson (Jude Law), take on Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris), with the help of Holmes's older brother Mycroft Holmes (Stephen Fry) and a Romani woman named Sim (Noomi Rapace). Cast Robert Downey, Jr.. as Sherlock Holmes[1] Jude Law as Dr. John Watson[1] Jared Harris as Professor Moriarty[2][3] Noomi Rapace as Sim[4] Stephen Fry as Mycroft Holmes[2][5] Kelly Reilly as Mary Morstan Watson[1] Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler[6] Eddie Marsan as Inspector Lestrade[7] Geraldine James as Mrs. Hudson[2] Fatima Adoum[8] Gilles Lellouche[9] Production After the success of the first Sherlock Holmes, a sequel was fast tracked by Warner Bros. with director Guy Ritchie dropping out of an adaptation of Lobo and Robert Downey, Jr.. leaving Cowboys & Aliens.[10] It was unclear if Rachel McAdams would appear in the film. McAdams said, "If I do, it won't be a very big thing. It's not a lead part".[11] On 4 February 2011 Warner Bros.. confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that McAdams will play a part in the sequel.[6] The film is reported to be influenced by Conan Doyle's The Final Problem.[12] While the film takes place a year after the events of the first film,[12] Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is intended to be a stand-alone film that doesn't require knowledge of the previous film.[12] In October 2010, Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law were seen rehearsing a fight scene as shooting took place in Richmond Park, south-west London.[13] In October 2010 steamship PS Waverley was chartered on the English Channel for filming, and a large green screen was erected at Didcot Railway Centre with a large action scene filmed there in mid-November.[2] In late November, a scene was filmed at Victoria Bridge, which is part of the Severn Valley Railway. In January 2011 scenes were also filmed at Hampton Court Palace. Filming also took place in September 2011 in Greenwich at the Royal Naval College.[14] Early February 2011, principal photography moved for two days to Strasbourg, France. Shooting took place on, around and inside the Strasbourg Cathedral. The scene is said to be the opening scene of the movie, as it will cover an assassination/bombing in a German speaking town.[15] The film is scheduled to be released 16 December 2011 in the United States and United Kingdom and 25 December 2011 in other countries.[1] Quote

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE Posted October 21, 2011 Author Posted October 21, 2011 As far as sensational, buzzworthy trailers go, Robert Downey Jr. is on a roll. He's been a prominent fixture in two of the most talked-about teasers from two of the most anticipated films. The first trailer is for "The Avengers," which Marvel and Disney rolled out last week, and the second is for Guy Ritchie's bromantic "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows," which hit the Interwebs on Wednesday (October 19). This second trailer is all about upping the action and mystery. It opens with the voice of new leading lady Sim, played by Noomi Rapace. "What do you see?" she asks Dr. Holmes (Downey Jr.), to which he replies "Everything," as we are then shown quick cuts of what are likely pieces of the second film's big mystery. There are dancing couples in a glamorous ballroom (including Sim and Holmes) at some grand party, a game of chess, a possible crime scene with a pile of wreckage in the center, bullet holes in the walls, cocked pistols and — gasp! A shot of Rachel McAdams' shifty lady thief Irene Adler walking somewhere with haste and some sort of precious parcel. The last shot in the opening montage is a glimpse at Jared Harris as evil-ish Moriarty looking out from behind super-secret spy glasses (not really, he's just holding a lorgnette — those fancy glasses people use at the opera). "That is my curse," Holmes says, a bookend to our introductory 20 seconds or so, before Ritchie kicks the action into high gear and packs the remaining two minutes and seven seconds with explosions, running, shooting, etc. — basically, Holmes and Watson (Jude Law) are up to their old tricks. "Oh, how I've missed you, Holmes," Watson says to his friend. "Have you? I've barely noticed your absence," Holmes answers back in a passive-aggressive tone, pretending not to have missed his best friend. This brief exchange is followed by more quick cuts of exotic locations and Watson's wedding and an introduction to bad guy Moriarty. "What are we up against here?" Watson asks Holmes. "The most formidable criminal mind in Europe," Holmes says. "Professor James Moriarty," Watson says, reading his name from Holmes' notes somewhere. "If we can stop him, we can prevent the collapse of Western civilization," Holmes adds dramatically, before an explosion erupts in the background. "No pressure." This is followed by more running, bullets flying, a slow-motion cat-and-mouse chase in the snow, banter with lady Sim, as well as a few Holmes and Watson moments, including one in which the former suddenly appears dressed in drag. "What?" Watson says when he encounters Holmes as a lady. "I agree it's not my best disguise," Holmes counters. Finally there are more quick cuts of action, much of which looks to be set on a moving train that later explodes, along with a brief but passionate kiss between former lovers Holmes and Adler. Quote
Michael* Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 At the risk of just repeating what I said in the 'Prometheus' thread, if it has Noomi Rapace then I'm there. Quote
