First "Spy Pics" of Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law on the Set of Sherlock Holmes 2
Posted 10.22.10 by BrentJS
The boys are back. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, who effortlessly breathed new life into Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous creations, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, in director Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, have been captured on the set of Sherlock Holmes 2 in a trio of "spy pics."
The sequel, also directed by Ritchie, was written by Kieran and Michele Mulroney (Paper Man) and will feature Holmes' nemesis, the master criminal Professor Moriarty, who was briefly glimpsed in the first movie, as the primary antogonist. Moriarty has yet to be cast, though a recent rumor has linked Jared Harris (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) to the role. Stephen Fry (Wilde) has joined the cast as Sherlock's older brother, Mycroft Holmes, and Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Swedish adaptation) will play an unspecified leading role, possibly a French Gypsy who may or may not be a romantic interest for Holmes.
