Holmes!

Posted on 11:50 by simmo
Check out these photos from the upcoming BBC TV show, "Sherlock", which I've heard is going to be on PBS this fall or winter:
http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/tubetalk/a239125/first-look-picture-exclusive-sherlock.html

I love that first picture.  Cumberbatch looks a LOT how I would picture Sherlock Holmes--in the books, he's actually only 27 at the beginning of the series, even though he's usually portrayed as at least ten years older.  His costume is very cool! 

Here are some things I have heard about it, from news article(s):

"Watson is in the same war, he’s wounded in Afghanistan, just like in the first story." 

"He comes home, has no friends, nowhere to live and he meets someone he went to medical school with who is looking for a flat to share, and that’s it." 

"Holmes and Watson are much younger in the original books and that is how we have written the modern version."   Finally!

"Moffat said the appeal of the violin-playing sleuth was timeless."  :D

You know, I'm not particularly a fan of modern retellings, but so far, this doesn't sound too bad.  I'm still highly doubtful, but I hope this is a good series.  I love the idea of Holmes having an mp3 player and laptop. ;)
