Irene Adler/Sherlock Holmes - News & Discussion Thread


Did you hear about Rachel McAdams newest role?? She is set to star in the new Sherlock Holmes movie opposite Robert Downey Jr.

You can check out the article at Hollywood.com... Rachel McAdams Lands Role in Sherlock Holmes at Hollywood.com

They also have tons of other info and pictures of Rachel! I'm excited for the movie. I think she's a great actress and I love how she plays a diverse range of characters. Let me know what you think!

I'll change the title, and this can be our discussion thread for the movie instead.

There was a press conference announcing the official cast today in London. And ET has a video of Rachel (and RDJ) talking about the movie. (From 00:14 to 1:01)

Here's a bit more about the movie:

Quote:
UNDER THE DIRECTION OF GUY RITCHIE - Robert Downey Jr. Stars in the Title Role Alongside Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, Mark Strong and Kelly Reilly.

Principal photography is set to begin on location in London for the action adventure mystery “Sherlock Holmes,” being helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Guy Ritchie, for Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures.

Robert Downey Jr. brings the legendary detective to life as he has never been portrayed before. Jude Law stars as Holmes’ trusted colleague, Watson, a doctor and war veteran who is a formidable ally for Sherlock Holmes. Rachel McAdams stars as Irene Adler, the only woman ever to have bested Holmes and who has maintained a tempestuous relationship with the detective. Mark Strong stars as their mysterious new adversary, Blackwood. Kelly Reilly will play Watson’s love interest, Mary.

Based on an original story/comic book by Lionel Wigram, inspired by the classic tales of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the film will be produced by Joel Silver, Lionel Wigram, Susan Downey and Dan Lin. Steve Clark-Hall and Bruce Berman are serving as executive producers.

In a dynamic new portrayal of Conan Doyle’s 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.

I remember when we first heard of her being cast, I was like, "Oooh, Rachel with an english accent." But then I was reading about Irene Adler (thanks wikipedia ), I realised she was from New Jersey. I was like, oh. Wasn't sure if I was excited or disappointed.

On a selfish note though. I'm glad she's doing a movie that seems to be on the larger scale. Because it means that it'll be certain that I'll get to see it.

I was looking forward to seeing Rachel with an English accent too. At least she said in an interview that she'll have some kind of accent. I am also looking forward to seeing the costumes that they'll have.

I like that this movie sounds more action/adventure driven. It's not really something we've seen Rachel in yet.

The synopsis from Warner Brothers:

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.

I don't know why but I'm looking forward to Rachel doing some stunts.

I loved her dress.

I'm looking forward to seeing Rachel hanging from the ceiling too. And Sherlock Holmes doing martial arts.
