Will the New Sherlock Holmes Movie Be Another Guy Ritchie Flop?
After several years of drought, Hollywood movie director Guy Ritchie will once again try his luck on the box-office after getting the directorial duty for one of the most anticipated movies for 2010, Warner Bros. remake of the classic detective literary piece Sherlock Holmes.
The director, who is married to the Queen of Pop Madonna, will be working along side two of Hollywood’s hottest actors today: Robert Downey Jr. who will be playing the legendary detective, and Russell Crowe as his loyal confidant Dr. Watson.
Press releases for the movie have quoted Ritchie saying that he will try to change the way how Holmes has been portrayed by concentrating on his skills as a boxer and a swrodfighter. The Guiness Book of World Records have listed the mystery-solving detective as the most portrayed movie character, with over 70 actors playing the part in more than 200 films.
Ritchie has not had a big box-office hit since “Snatch”, which starred Brad Pitt, in 2000. Most of his films have been disasters, including one that he did with wifey Madonna, “Swept Away”. His latest film “RocknRolla” is set to be released this autumn.
