July 9, 2008 - Sherlock Holmes
Scooped on Sunday, September 21, 2008
Robert Downey Jr. has just signed on to his first feature since becoming an A-list actor in this summer's mega-hit Iron Man and he's going to be playing a retro kind of hero: Downey has committed to play the main man in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movie.
Variety reports that Downey agreed to play the world's best-known freelance crime investigator after reading a rewrite of the film's script that was done by Ritchie himself. The movie's story drawns from both the original Holmes tales by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as well as a newly published comic book. Filming is scheduled to begin on the flick this fall.
