Arthur Conan Doyle is no doubt rolling in his grave right now.
[dropcap size=small]T[/dropcap]wo of Hollywood’s best comedic actors are teaming up to star in a new film that is being produced by Sony Pictures. Called Holmes & Watson, Will Ferrell will be portraying the famous character Sherlock and his counterpart John C. Reilly will portray Sherlock’s closest friend John B. Watson. Etan Cohen, who has directed films like Get Hard and Men in Black 3, will be directing the film.
Of course, this film will not be anything similar to BBC’s Sherlock or the Sherlock Holmes trilogy starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly have a reputation of starring in comedic films like Step Brothers and Talladega Nights so it is safe to bet that Holmes & Watson will be more of a comedy than an action/adventure/crime-style film.
There is no release date for Holmes & Watson at this time.
