Law + Downey, Jr. = Sherlock Holmes!

Filed under: Film Flickers > Jude Law > Guy Ritchie

wenn18269122.jpg

Reports are surfacing that former hottie Jude Law is in negotiations to join the cast of Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, alongside Robert Downey, Jr.

It seems Law will be playing Holmes' sidekick, Watson.

But with production beginning next month in London, they better confirm his deal soon.

Some other principal roles have yet to be cast as well, such as the main villain, Blackwood.

The movie will take pieces from both the classic stories written by Sir Aurthur Conan Doyle, as well as from the comic book series.

Let's hope this doesn't turn unto a big flop!

    He is not looking too good.

  9. 9

    I never thought he was hot but maybe it's karma for being a cheater that has made him ugly and bald.

  10. 10

    Losing hes hair…what a shame. He used to be so HAWT, especially in "Alfie" *yummm*

  11. 11

    what the hell…
    he is a scary dude.

  12. 12

    OMG, these two would be great as Holms and Watson! I would definitely go see this movie just to see Robert and Jude. They are georgeous!

    This guy has cheated on everyone he has been with….the looks are fading fast though.

  16. 16

    I can't see this one being true as although Jude Law's career has been hampered by a string of failing movies he wouldnt take on a sidekick role in a guy ritchie film, also isnt Sienna Miller the female lead?

    In some ways I want this rumor to be true as it would mean that miller is probably no longer attached to the film as I dont want to see her in the same movie as the much more talented Robert Downey Jnr.

  19. 19

  20. 20

    Come on Guy you better not dissapoint!! You were one of my favorite directors after Lock, Stock and Snatch! It's time to get it back together.

    Re: abercorey – have a good weekend you big tease. wish you were here so i could ravage you for 48 hrs straight. did you see my comment that i can blow you while i'll pounding you? and rest easy i'm for real.

  25. 25

    Re: abercorey – re: big apple comments. that sucks. i'd had similar to your dentist story. and btw what up with doctors and dentists being fuck ups?

  26. 26

    I can't stand Robert downey jr, he has such a crack face,he reminds me and looks like Corey feldman,why is he famous and the other crackhead like him is the loser,[both gross].he's over paid and has the ego to prove it .

  27. 27

    Re: Swimstud

    Lots of guys can do that. lol ;)

  28. 28

    Re: fireman dan – you said snatch

  29. 29

    Perfect! Can't wait!

  30. 30

    WOULD LOVE TO LICK HIS FEET

  31. 31

    Maybe the new Robert Downey Jr can solve the mysterious migration of Jude's follicles from his head to his back.

  32. 32

    dudes got money. he can fix his follical problems. id still fuck him ’til he bled.

  33. 33

    What I get a kick out of is people talkin' out of their ass when they don't know squat. Jude HASN'T cheated on everyone he's been with and he DIDN'T just cut his hair after Perez shot his mouth off the other day. This picture is from months ago. Stupid-ass people making stupid ass comments.
    Anyway…I love LOVE that Robert and Jude are doing this movie! They are both hot as hell…definitely not FORMER hotties (my god). I bet if either one of them were standing in front of any of you (male or female), you'd be embarrassed to discover just how "happy" you were to see them.

  34. 34

    waaaa! this is a must-see movie!

  35. 35

    Nice, Perez.
    Ever the optimist, you are…
    "Let's hope this doesn't turn into a big flop" you say.
    What a bitch.

  36. 36

    "Former" hottie is right. Jude's going to hell in a hand basket.

  37. 37

    Jude is stilll hot.
    Lidia grow up.

    Below are a few lines from Obama's books, IN HIS WORDS!
    From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.' / 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.' / 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.' / 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.' / 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'
    ************'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'**************
    Hmmmm….a Muslim, a Bigot and a RACIST…NO THANKS! McCain / Palin 2008! :-)

    I'm young and all but i seriously rue the day when i see the "good looking guy" start going bald. i cant help what it will do to my stomach which is make it turn and turn and turn and then i might just cry a bit. im weird. i dont even care when guys gain weigh but the hair thing is just another issue beyond all others. who knows though it might just make me more horny and ill fuck him more. thats what more weight does and i didnt see that one cumming ahhaha. i like flaws. it makess me feel powerful and goddess like haha. i realy dont know if its that or if its just my weird turn ons. guess i could try out my dildo once again and see the effects. ill find out dont u worry angel

    Excuse me: Jude Law is a FORMER hottie? He's still hot in my book! But anyway, I'm SO excited about this movie cause I've read the entire first volume of the Sherlock Holmes stories and I love them! I even have a teddy bear named sherlock holmes! Although I'm a little scared they're taking stuff from the comic books, which I'm unfamiliar with and probably wouldn't like. Also, Sherlock is supposed to be tall and lean and I have a feeling that watson's gonna be taller than sherlock if it's Jude Law! Oh well, we'll see. I can't wait til the trailer comes out so I can start obsessing over it like I did with the Dark Knight! lol

    I've never thought he was attractive, but he is getting uglier by the minute.

  42. 42

    He will be in a movie about a detective, well then they should investigate what happened to his hair and Sienna Miller's career.

    He may have lost some hair and looks a little dated, but the sex scene he had with Rachel Weisz in Enemy at the Gates is still one of the hottest I've ever seen.

  44. 44

    Watch people, Gwyneth Paltrow will probably get herself cast in this movie with all of her connections to everyone associated with this film.
