Stoic wont play to modern audiences in the way they wanted. Unless your
making a Merchat Ivory filmcomplicated is the way to go. The protag
More than welcome! And it's the same for me. The last pieces of Holmesiana I've
touched are the stories written around the character, including a series of
novels written by Laurie King, which posit Holmes as, of all things, a married
man, and his wife his intellectual equal.
Law doesnt have the emotional depth to pull off Sherlock. Plain and simple.

I agree. It would have been completely different. There is something quirky
about Downey that makes it work. That X factor thing.
I wonder if Johnny Depp would have worked in the role?

Dep would not work in guy ritchie's version but i can see him in some other
incarnation.

It was just one of those What if? questions. Just thought I might add a
little whimsy into the conversation. :)
Sort of like thinking about a Black Han Solo.

After seeing the movie last Sunday, I was wondering about the casting. Downey
and Law are really good, but why did Ritchie cast them that way? Law, who's
taller, a bit leaner, and has a bit more of an intensely thoughtful look, would
seem at first glance to be the natural choice to play Holmes.
