Guy Ritchie to direct new Sherlock Holmes film
Guy Ritchie has signed on to write and direct a reimagining of super sleuth Sherlock Holmes for Warner Bros.
Lionel Wigram and Dan Lin are producing the movie, which takes its cues from a forthcoming comic Wigram wrote on the classic Sir Arthur Conan Doyle character.
The concept sees the character as more adventuresome and less stuffy than previous screen incarnations.
The deal reunites the filmmaker with the studio, for whom he made the upcoming crime caper RocknRolla, which is being released in October.
