‘Sherlock Holmes 2:’ New Photo And Details On Action Scenes
According toJude Law, who returns as Watson inGuy Ritchie’scurrently filmingSherlock Holmes 2, one of the most exciting things in the sequel is the “fear level.” “We get pretty kicked around,” Law said. “Just look at the state of us.” You can see the state of Law and his co-starRobert Downey Jr. in the above below, the latest look at the film scheduled for release December 16. Both he and Downey spoke to theLos Angeles Timesabout the film, which is set one year after the original, and you can read what they had to say, see the photo, and even learn about some of the action beats, after the break.
In the Los Angeles Times article, they describe the plot of the film as follows:
The piece also details several action scenes which I’d considerminor spoilers. The first features Watson, Holmes and a gypsy woman named Sim running away from gunfire in a train yard. Finding cover, they all fumble for guns, but Sim gets hers out first and blasts the bad guys. Sim, of course, is played byNoomi Rapace, the originalGirl With the Dragon Tattoo.
The second scene, which seems like it’s just another shot from the same train yard chase, features Holmes and Watson taking cover from behind a crate. Watson then jumps up with an almost Gatling gun and lays waste to everything around them.
“They get their hands on a few things that were a little ahead of their time,” said producer Susan Downey, who is also Downey Jr.’s wife.
The star himself had this to say about the difference between the two films:
Unlike last time, where Holmes kept getting Watson into trouble this time Watson is getting Holmes out of trouble, and they’re both in deeper trouble than I think the audience could have imagined we could go…. All manner of nastiness has just occurred.
Finally, the article refers to the film as “yet untitled” so chances areSherlock Holmes 2isn’t going to stick.
What do you think of the new image and information?
