GUY RITCHIE - GUY RITCHIE CONTRACTED FOR SHERLOCK HOLMES MOVIE: "Guy Ritchie is to take a look at an older style of crime movie with a new Sherlock Holmes adaptation
The Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels director has been contracted by Warner Bros Studios to helm a film based on an upcoming comic book about the detective.
Sherlock Holmes, set for a 2010 release, will be based on an as-yet-unpublished graphic novel take on the Arthur Conan Doyle creation by former Warner Bros creative executive Lionel Wigram, who will also produce the film alongside Dan Lin.
Though the plot of Wigram's approach to the 19th century detective remains a secret, it is believed it reimagines Holmes as a more adventurous character, who exploits his pugilistic talents and swordsmanship, according to Variety."

Whenever I hear the word reimagines, I want to curl up in a fetal position and mutter under my breath.
I fear for the world's first consulting detective.
Can we expect Madonna to play Irene Adler? I've lived waaaay too long.
Cap'n, let's don't give Ritchie any ideas. Maybe he should forget Holmes and see if he could reimagine his wife's acting career into something resembling competence. If that's possible.
nwsbndYeah randy, but that presumes he can direct at all which, on the evidence, is doubtful.
Un-fricking-believable.
