OlderRobert Downey Jr. Talks Sherlock Holmes
Robert Downey Jr., who plays the title character in the upcoming feature film Sherlock Holmes, joins costar Rachel McAdams for the film’s pre-production press conference at Freemasons Hall on Wednesday in London.
“I think me and [director Guy Ritchie] are well-suited to working together,” RDJ said. “The more I look into the books, the more fantastic it becomes. Holmes is such a weirdo,”
Also present: British actress Kelly Reilly and costar Mark Strong. McAdams will play Sherlock’s love interest Irene Adler, Mark Strong will play the part of villain Blackwood, Jude Law (not pictured) will play super sleuth sidekick Dr. Watson and Reilly will be Watson’s love interest Mary.
This movie has all the right elements to be a box office hit. Let’s hope they do this mystery drama right!

Don’t forget Iron Man was just released on DVD yesterday. The two-disc Ultimate Edition has a ton of featurettes and also has RDJ’s screen test for the role of Tony Stark.
Downey was the real actor in Iron Man Paltrow stunk up the movie.
God! I love Kelly Reilly, thx Jared for the pictures!!!
i predict an affair between Jude and Kelly

Better still, what about a 3-way between Downey, Law, and Strong…
…now we’re talkin’!
And Ritchie, too, if he’s in the mood….and Madonna will let him….
cool cast. Very international.
Did they drop SIenna Miller for Rachel McAdams? If so, smart move.
robert was so funny in tropic thunder ahha
rachel mcadams is ******* lucky!
and LMFAOO at: Holmes is such a weirdo
Goodness. I love this man.
Iron Man is so freakin’ awesome.
This is fantastic! Love Love the cast. Rachel is super cool and of course Downey is great, & I can’t say enough good about Jude. Now we just need to see photos of Jude with the cast and everything will be complete!
I don’t know this Kelly Reilly, but she is really pretty… ;)
Yay, he shave the stash!!
And love Rachel!
I’m so relieved Sienna Miller’s name is no longer attached to this movie. It would have prevented so many people from seeing the great actor that is Robert Downey Jr!
Great cast and I love Guy Ritchie. He always looks like a regular guy but soooo sexy and macho.
Actually I predict an affair between McAdams and Downey or McAdams and Jude Law. McAdams/Downey would be scandalous because he’s married, but McAdams/Law are both single, so it would make sense! Good couple? Yay? Nay?
Great cast and great director!! Can’t wait to see this movie!
I like the idea of Rachel & Jude together! She’s an upgrade from Sienna for sure!
No, no affair between Jude and Rachel…she and Ryan are more suited to be together.
And NO to an affair between Downey and Rachel…he’s married, and again, I like her and Ryan together.
Looking forward to this movie.
Awesome! Can’t wait for this movie to come out X3
Rachel hardly ever smiles normally. And her legs always looks bruised, bloodied and battered.
I love this cast! Rachel and Robert seem like they’d be a great match. Jude and Kelly I great too. She was awesome in P & P!
I agree, trading Sienna for Rachel could not be a smarter move! Both in terms of acting and for the image of the movie. This one should be good!
Rachel McAdams is one classy girl! I am really looking forward to her three coming films TheTime Traveler´s Wife with Eric Bana, this Sherlock movie with Robert Downey Jr, and State of Play with Russell Crowe!
Woo-hoo! RDJ and Rachel!!!! The sparks are going to fly!!!!!!
Rachel has been everywhere lately!!! Haven’t heard much about her and Ryan - any new pictures or news on them from the last pictures that were posted? Or did she dump him for Sherlock Holmes!! LOL!
I watched the preview of the time travelers wife and it looked BORING AS HELL!
gorgeoussssssssssssssssss rachel, love sherlock!!!
Hmm—I like the idea of Jude Law and Rachel McAdams! He was so sexy in The Holiday and she was so gorgeous in Red Eye. Are they both single?
I’d be surprised if Rachel goes out with a world famous Cheater and man *****….
But Jackie she went out with Ryan Gosling, he’s a manwhore isn’t he? Jumping from one co-star to another and than dating a married woman.
Walked right into that one Jackie. I was just about to say that she dated Ryan Gosling at one point! I can definitely see her with Jude - but I can’t see her being a step-girlfriend.

HUH? The movie trailer is not even out yet, unless you’ve seen the first screening, but you sound like a troll anyway so I’m assuming you’re lying…=/
I love this cast. Um Jude and Rachel together in real life? No, nuh-uh.
if you believe in rumors that he went out with Michelle Willams and Kirsten Dunst…
then yes Ryan is one
but if like me and many others you need to see actual proof of that…
no he isn’t one
and show me one report of Ryan cheating on a girlfriend…
and you know what…you people can go on with this crap
I’m not gonna gonna get involved in arguments based in a I’m sure ”Never will be” couple
nor will feed this subject on Ryan Gosling cause this is a post about Rachel being cast in a great movie with and amazing cast…
so I’m gonna save my Ryan Gosling talk to his posts
and my Ryan and Rachel posts to the ones related to them
good luck and lots if fun for whoever want to continue on this…

back on talking about the film
is there any info on filming dates?
I have Loved RDJ for SO long, I am so glad that finally he is getting it together and reaping the awards and rewards that he has worked for so hard. Everybody look out, I think we have a new/old A-Lister.
why cant I post
If I had to guess, Jackie is a McGosling! They get so defensive!
What great casting for this movie. Robert Downey Jr. is my hero and Rachel is the next A-List star. Can’t wait ntil this comes out next year!
It has nothing to do with being a McGosling. Jackie is right about Ryan. He has never been reported getting caught cheating on anybody nor have any proofs about dating different women back to back so people need to stop calling him a ‘manwhore’. It’s completely disrespectful especially to the one you’re insulting when you don’t even TRULY know the person.
I’m not a McGosling…
or the fact that I don’t think Rachel will go out with a cheater makes me one?
go on and see on how many Ryan or Ryan and Rachel posts I commented on…
absolutely thrilled with this entire project. i think downey and law will light up the screen. they are looking to make this a franchise. i really hope it does great box office. i missed jude in those pictures. that lovely face is always a welcome addition. what a coup this is….bravo guy ritchie.
Sigh—these threads always get ruined by the Ryan fan-girls.
This cast is the definition of gorgeous and talented.
I really like Robert Downey jr. But I hate Guy Richie. I don’t think he’s a very good director. Besides I don’t like it how he already claims to make the ultimate Sherlock Holmes movie when production hasn’t even started.
although I’m not as excited about this film as many others are…I must say, I do like the cast. RDJ and Rachel are amazing actors, and Kelly, Jude and the rest make up what looks like could be a great film.
OMG KELLY REILLY! She’s amazing and so underrated!!!
#30 and #34
Oh, come on, Jackie…do you really have to bring nastiness into it? You get defensive about Ryan, so I’ll comment about Jude…he made a mistake that he owned up to, unlike other famous men who just keep their mouth shut and thus get a pass. Perhaps the rumors about Ryan aren’t true, or perhaps he’s just lucky enough to be with people that can/will keep their mouth shut. Would that make him “better”? Not really…just more lucky. Jude is not a bad person nor a manwhore from one mistake…and besides, we’ve all seen how his “poor mistreated girlfriend” treats people.
Robert Downey Jr. is soooooooooooooo hooot! Can’t wait for this one!
And Rachel is with Ryan. I’m sure they’re gonna get married someday. Their perfect together.
No, I can’t see Rachel with Jude. He may be hot, but personally, I don’t think she’d touch him with a 10-foot pole.
@Sheryl
His “poor mistreated girlfriend” mistreated people poorly. She treated us, as if we have something missing in our heads, but actually Miss “I am the poor thing” could not see that the treatment she received from her own poor treatment to others will be treated as something natural, poorly of course, for I believe, she is still busy trying to find something that should be in her head, due to lack of treatment or mistreatment from her, it’s gone missing. Poor thing. The “something that should be in her head”, I mean. Not the “poor mistreated girl friend”.
Rachel McAdams is Looking Drop Dead Gorgeous…and Finally She got the mOvie she wanted from years i guess…..A SuPer hero Movie………….what i have heard she has been adition 4 every other Super Hero Movie from Superman to iron Man to Fantasti Four…But didnt Get Chosen So i THink its her Time to Fight the Demons and Show an Other Side of Her…I cant B mORE hAPPY…JUST lIKE SHE IS lOOKING IN THE pICUTERES………..
Yeah, I don’t know what Guy Ritchie as director will mean. I’m pretty sure his last three or four films have flopped.
I hope Ritchie doesn’t go for style over substance.
Never heard of Kelly Reilly but looks like a good cast. I love RDJ and hope it turns out really well. I’ll be seeing it for sure!
Looks really interesting this movie. And perfect opportunity for Rachel to showcase her talent. However Guy Ritchie does worry me, I wonder if the all star cast can make this a hit, despite the curse of Ritchie
downey and law….what a great and unusual pairing. with ritchie’s selection of his 6 major players. he just might be on to something wonderful and yes to see jude in action again makes my heart beat a little bit faster.
I hope they won’t include SLUTTIEYIEENA MILLER ON THIS MOVIE.
I LOVE THE CASTS, BUT ONCE S LUT TI ENNA MILLER IS ON IT, I WON’T GO SEE IT.
I LOOOOVE GUY RITCHIE….I’M HIS FAN!
.
kelly reilly is jude law’s love interest in sherlock holmes. she’s a fantastic actress with quite a resume.so……sienna is not in the picture.
boo f ucking hoooooo, Guy Ritchie the director
LMFAO
and Law as Dr. Watson LMFAO squared
i get they these people are good actors but why not use actual british people who already have the accents and know more about the story and culture back then….i don’t understand that.
I’m not too sure about Guy Ritchie directing this, but he’s got a great cast.
I’m glad to see Jude finally doing a film. He’s been absent too long!
I agree with the above posters about a romance. I predict a romance for Jude with either Kelly or Rachel.
and I predict a romance for Jude with either Guy or Robert.
I predict Rachel will get with Jude. Robert is married.
Rachel and Ryan are still together, aren’t they? If so, I doubt her and Jude will get together.
Rachel and Ryan don’t seem like a very stable couple to me. Plus, once she’s working around Jude Law, who knows what might happen. Jude is overdue for real romance in his life. Enough of the one night stands and friends with benifits! It’s time for a litte emotions with the sex!
‘No’ to Rachel and Jude. Real love ain’t always found on set, either. rachel belongs with Ryan.
kelly is far prettier than rachel. they should both keep away from law
I’m already turned off of this movie. Sherlock Holmes doesn’t **have** a love interest - he doesn’t get women at all, and prefers to avoid them. Dr Watson has a love interest, and gets married very early in the story.
I bet he says “Elementary, my dear Watson” and “The game is afoot!” every ten seconds too …
Irene Adler was NOT Sherlock Holmes’s love intrest. EVER. Read the books before making movies about them!
