News of the Moment

leave a comment »

I haven’t posted much in the way of Holmes news recently, it’s not because there hasn’t been any it’s more that they’ve been bits and bobs, nothing worthy of a single blog post. Also, I’ve been persuaded to take part in a Sherlock Holmes eggheads style quiz at the Sherlock Holmes Society AGM in a few weeks… lots of revising!

Anyway, here’s the news.

Robert Downey Jr dropped a few hints about the Sherlock Holmes sequel (and who honesty thought that there wasn’t going to be one?), apparently there’s scenes in Paris and Switzerland. I wonder if Holmes is going to “die” at the beginning and we’re going to a film that deals with what is going on with Holmes separately to newly married mourning Watson before reuniting them at the end to defeat the big bad.

Something that I am very excited about is the announcement that the Muppets are doing Sherlock Holmes! I’ve always wanted them to do it… fair enough this is in comic format and it stars Fozzie as Watson and Gonzo as Holmes.

Finally, Frogware (creators of various Sherlock Holmes games, most recently Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper) have released a teaser trailer for their next venture titled ‘The Testament of Sherlock Holmes’.
