New ‘Sherlock Holmes’ Posters Are Not Messing About

Warner Bros. has released two new character posters from Guy Ritchie’s upcoming action adventure Sherlock Holmes this morning, showing off the intense glares of both Holmes, played by Robert Downey Jr., and Watson, played by Jude Law. The film follows the story of this legendary partnership as they come across a mysterious enemy in the form of Lord Blackwood, played by Mark Strong. The film will also star Rachel McAdams as the super-hot, super-dangerous Irene Adler.

The movie sounds/looks/probably will be a lot of fun. As for these posters, it’s pretty elementary, my dear readers. Two smug bastards getting ready to give crime the business. Pretty blandiose, but it reminds us that Guy Ritchie’s next cinematic adventure is coming — and it is very exciting considering the talent involved and the iconic nature of Britain’s most beloved sleuth.

Sherlock Holmes hits theaters on December 25, 2009. Check out the new posters below, courtesy of Empire.

    This movie looks so flat out awful. Since when was Irene Adler a hooker and Sherlock Holmes a homeless scruffy drug addict (as opposed to a respected clean shaven victorian drug addict gentleman) jumping out of the windows of Parliament into the thames only to then appear in the sewer boxing topless in what appears to be the original 1800s movie version of Fight Club.
    SKIIIIP.
  • 'in what appears to be the original 1800s movie version of Fight Club.'

    Is that a bad thing? Really?

    Truthfully, if you read the original books, they sort of stay true to the form of Sherlock, or at least the parts the are showing via trailers. He on occasion did do drugs, as for Irene being a prostitute, that is new to me as well. I'm going to go see the movie just for the fun of it. You shouldn't put it down, mind you it IS a Guy Ritchie movie.

    Who knew they could make Sherlock Holmes even gayer.

    As a reader of pretty much every Sherlock Holmes book, I'm still looking forward to this abomination of the character.
  • I was really hoping they go for a more retro look with these.

    I like RDJ but man, they make him look way too gay in that poster. Does he need to be all done up like that? He looks like he just walked off the runway.
