    Wow. This looks, clever, heartbreaking and thrilling all at once. Can't wait to see it.

    I think this will truly stand as one of the best Holmes adaptations of all time when it releases.

    Spectacular! I've always wanted to see Nicholas Rowe and Alan Cox playing the famous twosome again as much older men, and it's nice to get just a slight wink here. I wonder if Alan is playing Watson in the reel Holmes is watching?

    BAD news ... :( I'm still fuming. :-w

    Here, let me quote author Lyndsay Faye who put it so well (from her twitter):

    Yeah, those that run the ACD Estate are utter money-hounding asses. They want to get every single ounce of money out of every single Holmes-related project, no matter how feeble their arguments for legal action may be.

    There will only ever be one real Sherlock Holmes - Jeremy Brett.

    The Cumberbatch series is such tripe.

    Don't know what to make of Houdini & Doyle. I didn't even know it was in existence.

    I think they are making Houdini too much of a hyper, jumpy sort here, almost bordering on the comedic. It's like Guy Ritchie's Holmes times ten. As for the casting of the actor in the Doyle role, I was hoping to see someone with a booming Scottish brogue and cement wall frame. Doyle has always seemed large in size to me in photos. That being said, one interesting element of the show could be Doyle's spirituality clashing with Houdini's knack for smokescreens and uncovering the fraud behind the many things people of his time viewed as "supernatural." Might check it out...

    I'll take a big pass on that 'Houdini & Doyle' show. Those fifty seconds of footage told me all I need to know.

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, the show is looking a bit too straight forward and lacking to have unique clashes such as the one you named. ;)

    I'm so happy to bump this.

    Robert Downey Jr. says 'Sherlock Holmes 3' may shoot this year:

    http://screenrant.com/sherlock-holmes-3-downey-filming-2016/

    The schedules align perfectly for Ritchie, Downey Jr., and Law if they choose to film at the end of the year. If not, it'll be a longer wait, as Downey will be busy with the two 'Avengers: Infinity War' movies.

    The game is a foot, the time is now! Let's hope the stars align and we get this. Game of Shadows left so much up in the air, and the longer they wait to tie up loose ends, the more painful it'll be.

    I'm looking forward to this movie. Honestly I've never been to fond of Cumberbatch's TV show (even though it's much more faithful to Conan Doyle's works, which I love) and felt it was too overrated, but I really enjoyed Downey Jr.'s movies.

    @valentinzukovsky, if you liked the action of the first, you'll love the second. It takes everything to another level.

    Somewhere, amidst the pages of this fascinating author, we can feel it is indeed always 1895.

    Today, however, it is May 22nd (a good many years later!) ~ and today we celebrate the birthday of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This fascinating man led quite an adventurous, bold, and colorful life.

    If you'd like more info - besides scrolling back through this long dormant thread - you can click here and choose from an array of subjects concerning Sir Arthur.

    You know there is hansom cab waiting for you, on this foggy gaslit evening, with the promise of a good pipe and hot tea (or maybe brandy) later ... what are you waiting for?

    Let's raise a glass and a cheer: Happy Birthday, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle!

    The game is afoot ..
