Cohen, Ferrell Comedy Sleuths
On July 2nd, 2008
Sherlock Holmes is set to roll as an untitled comedy starring Sacha Baron Cohen as the master detective Sherlock Holmes and Will Ferrell as Dr. Watson, Holmes crime-solving partner.
Arthur Conan Doyle’s “Sherlock Holmes Tales” inspire the comedy, though, with a different thrust.
Apparently, this isn’t the only Holmes film. A second major studio project featuring the famous sleuth, at Warner Bros. is prepping Sherlock Holmes with director Guy Ritchie.
Holmescomedy reteams Baron Cohen and Ferrell, who played rival race car drivers in the 2006 hit comedy Talladega Nights.
I idolized Sherlock Holmes growing up. If this is enough of a parody that it’s actually just ridiculous and funny, like Without a Clue, I’ll be able to enjoy it. Otherwise…I’m not sure.
You have a point.
Remember Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother? Gene Wilder’s directorial debut. It came out in 1975 and was release on DVD in April 2006.
I barely remember it.
