Hello, Sherlock
Filed under: Film Flickers > Robert Downey Jr. > Guy Ritchie
Here's a peek at Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes!
Guy Ritchie, RDJ and the Sherlock Holmes crew were on location at St. Paul's Cathedral in London on Friday filming a few scenes for the flick.
For a minute we thought the pic was from RDJ's Charlie Chaplin days!

Ummm…starbucks? I take it this was an "on the set" kind of moment…
From Ironman to Sherlock Holmes, hmmm… not bad… not bad at all
HOLY CRAP!!! I was first…God I have reached a new level of bored and pathetic!!
And P.S…Hey Robbie!! I am a Barista, tell me what's in that Venti! I will make you anything you want baby!!
nice hat
sooooo hot
Perez, it's Chaplin, not Chaplain
Chaplin*
Nice.
haha love the starbucks
but idk… he doesn't look very holmes-y…
Let's hope there is actually coffee or something in there… hahaha.
Go to Youtube and type in this exactly: Manning's Fierce Prayer for Bristol Palin
Everyone is going crazy of this damn election!!!!!!!
he is precioso
GROAN. I'm a huge fan of the Sherlock Holmes series, and I love Robert Downey Jr, but I am SO not liking this at all. There's no way anyone can do better than the Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett.
Of course, I'll go see it, but I just have a BAD feeling about it…
Mm . . . blah. I usually really like this era and the Holmes fiction, but this picture isn't grabbing me at all. Even he looks kind of uncertain.Total meh.
Yeah that bowler hat is so chaplin
Love this
Aww!!!! He looks so cute
D
BY GEORGE, THE REPUBLIKUNT VICE PEREZIDENTIAL NOMINEE GOES BY THE NAME "STRAP ON SARAH" SINCE HER QUEERFACED HUBBY LOVES TO GET HIS MANLY LOVE BUTTON POKED WITH A 10 INCH STRAP ON DILDO!
gross
I'd do him.
oh what, so now its the cool thing to appear in character b4 your movie even finishes filming? lol Way to go Tom Cruise and Baron Von Cohen
what the
He's so gorgeous no matter what he does. I'm fully looking forward to this movie!
Although I'm sure he's got the chops for acting the part, I too though this was of him as Charlie Chaplin. He soo does not scream "Sherlock Holmes." I realize they want to go with a different look for the character, and use an American instead of a British actor as well, but unless it's just because he wasn't "in" character, it just doesn't work for me.
I am glad that he did not OD. He is a fucking great actor.
PS
Basil Rathbone is the quintessential Sherlock Holmes.
Just got home from B. Did pretty good on your card with your lucky numbers
Ymi ms. Nite, B 46
I love him. I am so glad he's back!
Why the fuck is a *barely* talented director like Guy Ritchie directing this?! The ONLY reason we know his name is because he's married to Madonna. I love RDJ, but come on? Guy Ritchie? Jesus Christ! It's going to be a piece of shit!!
I am Ironman.
GUY BITCHIE COULDN'T DIRECT TRAFFIC ON A ONE-WAY STREET!!!!!
I just came.
the starbucks cup is an interesting twist. Not a method actor then
Ok, so clearly the producers don't give a shit about following the character's description.
EWWWWWWWWWWWW !! this guy is soooooooooooo FUG looking not to mention overrated as an "actor " !!
Awww I love it. Very Believable.
um…i have read all of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Sherlock Holmes was a major drug addict, often disappearing for days at a time into opium dens. so i guess when ignorant people claim the story line is not being followed, they are referring to the story line of the bad Hollywood movies that did not follow the real story line? i guess that is what happens when one looks to Hollywood to explain literature. true–Doyle describes Holmes as thin and angular, so Downey's short muscular stature fails to capture that. Holmes also has a problem with women, so we will see how they handle that. but the tired ass fucked-up look works for many reasons, one being that Sherlock was a master of disguise in addition to a drug addict. also, sometimes he did not wear that fucking coat and smoke that fucking pipe even when he was not in disguise. so consider yourself served, bitches.
What do you have against Britney, and why won't you post her video?
She, more than any star, has made the absolute biggest comeback and changes in her life ever - yet you refuse to acknowledge her? That's really sad, and snotty at the same time.
BTW, cute picture.
Its Chaplin,i have a feeling it will be another flop with big names.
okay..this isn't his best shot..but DAMN!!!! he is HOOOOOTTTT!!!!!!..love love love love LOVE him!!!!
you are the best man!!!
Looks more like Charlie Chaplin to me.
Sherlock Chaplin??? WTF!!!??? This movie is going to suck big time
Awww…even Sherlock Holmes enjoys his occasional Starbucks.
I hear this Guy Ritchie film is actually supposed to be good,but I doubt it will be.
Movies about Sherlock Holmes have been done soooo many times.Boring!
He doesn't look that good..maybe it's because he's between takes. Hmm I'm worried suddenly.
I'm happy for this guy. What a beautiful success story. Keep it up, Robert. We are all very proud of you.
It's amazing: he is one of those men who is only looking better and better as he ages. How does he do that?
He looks a dick in that hat, far too big for his head.
It will be interesting to see what Guy Ritchie has in mind with this casting against type for Sherlock Holmes. A down-to-earth Holmes with a touch of scruff is a quirky departure from the traditional portrayal, and yet when you read Conan Doyle's original stories there is not much to prevent such an interpretation, provided that Holmes is forever smart and cool-headed.
too scrubby to be sherlock holmes. Imo Basil Rathbone did it the best, always looking sharp and acting very gentlemen-like
I just don't like this casting at all.
He's a great actor but when the canon material puts so much time into describing the physical characteristics and mannerisms of its lead character and then they cast someone who looks nothing like that description, it annoys me. As excited as I was at the prospect of a current adaptation of the stories, I'm really not anymore, especially with Ritchie directing. :/
I can't stand this tool.
Fuck shit, I know what I know and I know that I like this nutsack. He's welcome into our chocolate factory.
