Today we have the first photo from Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes from USA Today which features all three lead characters – Jude Law as Dr. John Watson, Robert Downey Jr as Sherlock Holmes and Rachel McAdams as “the deceptive” Irene Adler.
Plot Synopsis via /Film: In a dynamic new portrayal of Arthur Conan Doyle’s most 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.
The USA Today article says Ritchie is aiming for a PG-13 rating, which will mark his first film not rated R. Although I love Ritchie doing gangster films, I’m excited for this departure. With Robert Downey, Jr. as Holmes this is one of my most anticipated films of the year.
Sherlock Holmes will hit theaters on November 20th 2009.
