I'm So Terribly Excited

Who should play Watson? My first thought is Billy Connelly, but that's pretty obviously a bad idea.

Well, he's in the new X-Files movie so he has some experience with the supernatural (shudders).

Elementary dear Watson.

Thanks for the heads up, I will follow this with delight.

I can't wait! I just finished The Extrordinary Adventures of Arsene Lupin: Gentleman Burglar and at the end, he and Holmes meet and depart from each other, marking the end and alludes to the sequel; I hope Lupin at least makes a cameo!

I always wonder about movies like this. Is it a continuation of something enjoyable, or the lack of something original.Would I watch it? Maybe. As long as it is in the spirit of the books, and not something like what Burton did with with the Chocolate Factory remake.

I think Stephen Fry would be fantastic

Ooh! Yes. That man could use a mustache. What about Jim Broadbent? (He looks appropriate when he's not smiling.) Maybe if Bill Nighy had a big enough mustache? Bah! all this thinking about casting is making me wish Sherlock Holmes was played by Ralph Fiennes...

I think Patrick Stewart would make a good Holmes, that voice could really bring something to the role if he had more hair that is.

That sounds like it could be a quality movie.
I'm so terribly excited too.
