Yeah, I can’t imagine Sherlock Holmes being attractive either. Thta’s if Robert Downey’s still attractive? Not seen him in owt for a long time.

In some of the “Hammer” films, Peter Cushing (Grand Moff Tarkin) from Star Wars) is Holmes, and he did just fine! He also played Van Helsing in a number of those films.http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001088/

Because it is a Guy Ritchie adaptation! He needs someone who is going to be all rough and tumble like most of his main characters. I think it looks absolutely brilliant and I can’t wait to see it!

Where does it say that Sherlock Holmes has to be tall? A director’s job is not only to take into account the physicality of a character but who could best bring the character to life. Robert Downey Jr.is an amazing actor who has played real-life legends such as Charlie Chaplin- he was nominated for an Oscar for that role. I think he will be fantastic and from the trailer looks awesome!
