As seen on sites like Slashfilm and elsewhere, feast your eyes on the first two official photos from Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey, Jr. as Holmes and Jude Law as Watson.
While the first one doesn’t reveal enough to speculate on the plot, this next one does, in a very obvious way:
Holmes in a bare-knuckle boxing ring? What kind of case would he be on that would lead him there? This would mark the second film Ritchie’s done that involves boxing; are we going to see a thinly veiled version of Brick Top somewhere in there? I can’t wait to see more.
Midnight Voyager says:
Oh, that’s fairly easy. More or less. I mean, I don’t know if it ties into the plot, but I know where they got it from.
He used to be a great boxer. It came up in The Sign of the Four.
