 The Return of Sherlock Holmes Fans of the world’s most popular detective took to the streets of London on Tuesday for the world premiere of the latest cinematic take on the pipe-smoking sleuth. British director Guy Ritchie presented his version of the Victorian detective at a red-carpet ceremony attended by the film’s stars Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law, as well as many other top-notch celebrities 1. Ritchie will be hoping that his latest film will find favour with the viewing public following the failure of recent ‘turkeys’ such as Rocknrolla or Swept Away, which featured a much-derided performance from ex-wife Madonna. The new film sees the character of Sherlock Holmes re-imagined as a bullet-dodging action hero rather than the more cerebral 2 protagonist 3 of the short stories and novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Indeed some critics have suggested that the ‘Hollywood-isation’ of Holmes extends even to the film’s storyline. Holmes’ cases usually focus on particular crimes, such as murder or blackmail 4, committed by individuals; however, Ritchie’s Holmes must face a supernatural enemy who plans to return from the dead, infiltrate 5 parliament, and take over the world. The Hound of the Baskervilles must seem like a harmless pooch after that. The American actor who plays Sherlock Holmes has done a remarkable 6 job in adopting a refined English accent for the role and has spoken of his experience of handling the complexities 7 of Holmes’ character. So if you are a fan of the greatest fictional 8 detective, you can track him down to a cinema soon.
