Downey Jr. Does Doyle

Robert Downey Jr. in Iron ManApparently, Robert Downey Jr. has agreed to sign on as the famed detective Sherlock Holmes in the Guy Ritchie reimagining of the famed fictional character from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Not to be confused with the proposed Judd Apatow guided comedy pairing Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell as the Master of Deduction and his medico sidekick respectively, this update starts filming in October. No word yet on who will be Tony Stark’s Watson. And here’s a bigger question - how will Ritchie’s self-referential style support such a well-known literary figure? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

    Hey Bill-

    The Apatow project is no longer proposed — it’s a done deal. The co-Presidents of Columbia took time out of their busy days to announce it recently. They were practically peeing in their pants at the idea of Cohen and Ferrell. And… here comes Step Brothers!
