According to Variety Warner Bros. is in talks to set the screenwriting team of Kieran and Michele Mulroney to pen a sequel to Sherlock Holmes. Studio's aiming to launch a franchise with Sherlock, set to open on Christmas. Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and Rachel McAdams star in the pic directed by Guy Ritchie.
The basis for the film is both theArthur Conan Doyle classic stories and the comicbook Sherlock Holmes, with an aim more at the hardcore Sherlock Holmes and less the stuffy condescending pipe smoker.
But here is where some interesting rumor control comes to play. Apparently Guy Ritchie is currently re-shooting some scenes and many believe it to be a branch to connect the first and second films with none other than Brad Pitt in a cameo role as Moriarty. Now this is pure speculation and nothing has been substantiated, so take it as suc. But imagine a world where Jude Law, Robert Downey Jr., Brad Pitt, and Guy Ritchie all get to make a movie together. Awesome right? And not totally outlandish as Ritchie likes to work with the same actors a lot e.g. Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones.
