On the wave of success of Iron Man and the anticipation of Tropic Thunder, Robert Downey, Jr. is set to star in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes.
After reading the script by Anthony Peckham, Downey committed to the film. Filming begins in October.
Downey will make a great Sherlock Holmes. I thought he was fantastic as Charlie Chaplin in his characterization and physical changes, which will add a lot to Holmes.
From what I have seen in Tropic Thunder trailers and film clips Downey hits the mark as a white man playing a soul man in black skin.
Sherlock Holmes will be based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic tales, but also the comic book “Sherlock Holmes.”

I hate the idea of this movie, but there is no way I’m missing RDJ as my childhood idol, Sherlock Holmes.
Please don’t screw it up, Guy Richie. Please.

I am inclined to agree with your comment. I’d love to see a great movie about Holmes. The script is what matters the most right now. Peckham should come through.
