[QUOTE="Jeremy Ackerman-Yost, post: 4800362, member: 4720"] Richards, if you're still reading this, I wasn't evangelizing, merely pointing out that it might not suck. This might fail. That's always a possibility with a beloved character. But I also don't think we should pre-judge it quite yet. I have two reasons for that: 1) Holmes is the single most filmed character in history, and yet there has been very little variety in his characterization. As such, I think they [I]should[/I] try some new flavors. They might end up with a bad mix. This happens. They might also stumble into something good. But doing yet another Holmes film with someone trying to channel Basil Rathbone's performance wouldn't make sense to me.... why spend $10+ to see that when I could just put some Basil Rathbone in the Netflix queue? I'd rather have them go too far into the bushes and fail than have them clone a previous version and fail. At least we'll have learned something. 2) We have seen a [I]trailer[/I]. Hollywood's trailers are marketing at best and bald-faced lies at worst. Based on my personal study of the correspondence between trailers and the movies they represent..... that trailer is equally likely to be attached to a film that is a pure action movie, a highly cerebral suspense film, a romantic comedy, or a live action revival of the Smurfs. And I'm sadly not exaggerating all that much with (2). [/QUOTE]
