PinewoodSpy

For those of you who want a glimpse of Mr Ritchie etal working on the new Sherlock Holmes film - you might want to pop over to Lincoln's Inn Fields this week - the unit has just set up home there!

Cool, might be worth taking a trip over.

Really? Thanks for this- I didn't realise they were starting so soon.

They are filming in Freemasons Hall (where they film Spooks) and St Pauls. Last night when I walked past there was a big line outside the museum in the square for what I'm guessing was a casting call for extras.

I will try and grab a few shots with my phone on the way back tonight.

Intresting titbit - the trailors all have names on them - Susan Downey, Director etc but also one witj "Lord Coward"....

Jude Law's Watson looks like he could kick Downey's Sherlock's butt. )

Not the typical portly fellow I'm accustomed to. He looks like a villian.

I, for one, was never excited about Downey's casting as Holmes. These pics do nothing to change that. Being a big Conan Doyle fan, this is one flick which I'll catch on video (if they're lucky).

For the first time in his life Jude Law actually looks like a man! )

Here's another pic floating around the web of Downey's Holmes in action:



This looks like a scene out of Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels.

I really don't know what to think of this film yet but I'm not getting a Basil Rathbone vibe from it.

I think it was the bowler 8-) . Is this going to be a sort of Holmes Begins?

the fact that they've got Downey in pinstripes has sold me. I'll go see it, even though I'm a HUGE fan of the Basil Rathbone versions...

I hope not. We've already had that with Young Sherlock. One question, why is Downey Jr holding a large tuning fork? Could his piano have fallen out the window and he's tumbling after it.

I have no doubt that this is a picture of Holmes making off with one of Mrs. Hudson's Pampered Chef cooking utensils.

Somehow, this film being in development and production completely eluded me. Robert Downey Jr ?:)

I think he's very good in general---and was an excellent Tony Stark---but...
