Scooped on Thursday, October 2, 2008
With the start of filming imminent, the full cast for Sherlock Holmes has been officially announced. In addition to Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law we now have confirmation that Rachel McAdams will play the part of Irene Adler, Holmes' love interest and, according to the studio's press release, "the only woman ever to have bested Holmes." Also joining the cast are Mark Strong as the film's villain Blackwood and Kelly Reilly as Watson's love interest, Mary.
Warner Bros. also described the film's storyline as follows: "In a dynamic new portrayal of Conan Doyle's famous characters, Sherlock Holmes sends Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson on their latest challenge. Revealing fighting skills as lethal as his legendary intellect, Holmes will battle as never before to bring down a new nemesis and unravel a deadly plot that could destroy the country."
Added producer Joel Silver, "What we've done is hopefully launched a franchise of Sherlock Holmes stories."
