We’ve seen images of Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes, Jude Law as Watson, Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler, and even a poster for the film, but now, Warner Bros. Pictures and Guy Ritchie have finally released to us the first teaser trailer for Sherlock Holmes.
I love how this movie is turning out. The action looks amazing and the trailer gives the film a more “Pirates of the Caribbean” feel with the comedy intertwining between the all out action and drama. I heard first reports from footage screened at ShoWest that it was more of a buddy comedy with Holmes and Watson, but it looks to me from the trailer, that they have included more drama and intense action and maybe lessened the comedy. I don’t know for sure, but it’s what I can gather from the trailer.
Discussion: Does this trailer increase your expectation of this Christmas Day film? Are you excited about this movie?

This looks very exciting to me!
I think thru the paperback books about Sherlock Holmes that I read as a kid I gathered that he was mostly a thinker/pre-CSI kind of man. This trailer shows him to be a physical, daring, risky guy. Is this merely the Guy Ritchie influence?
I am totally in!

I don’t know about it being merely Guy Ritchie’s influence but I think it’s a huge reason why it will be filled with more action than dialogue.
Have you seen any of his other movies?
