Here’s a random film and director pairing for you. According to Variety, Guy Ritchie is set to helm a live action adaptation of the DC Comics property, Lobo. The feature will be the next gig for the the director after his stint on the upcoming release, Sherlock Holmes. What in the world does Mr. Ritchie have planned for this comic book anti-hero?
A new one sheet poster has been released for Guy Ritchie‘s Sherlock Holmes. It features the film’s villain Lord Blackwood, as played by actor Mark Strong. Doesn’t he seem to be the bad guy in everything? Holmes is the action packed, updated version of the classic literary character as portrayed by Robert Downey, Jr. It also co-stars Jude Law as his sidekick Watson, and Rachel McAdams as his love interest, Irene Adler. The film hits theaters this Christmas.
Check out the full poster below.
The rumors are never ending when it comes to the remake of Guys and Dolls. According to The Sun, Guy Ritchie wants to make his own version of the musical and rumor has it (and it’s a big rumor) that he already have some stories in mind for the roles: Jason Statham and Justin Timberlake.
“I can’t tell you what is happening, but I can tell you what is not happening, and that is this Guy Ritchie version,” said Allen H. Arrow, the attorney for the estate of Frank Loesssner, who wrote the music and lyrics for Guys and Dolls.
However, Hugh Jackman may be the man for the job. According to Variety, Arrow said that this Jackman version might hit the target:
The first official trailer for Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes has been released online. I have to say this is not your grandpa’s Sherlock. The film stars Robert Downey Jr. in the title role with Jude Law as his side kick Dr. Watson. They are joined by Rachel McAdams as the love interest Irene Adler, and Mark Strong as the villain Lord Blackwood. I’ll admit, I was in no shape or form excited about Guy Ritchie being behind the latest adaptation of the famous literary character. But after watching this trailer, it doesn’t look half bad.

Well, well what. What are you up to now Holmes? Apparently, a lot of fun on Guy Ritchie‘s set for Sherlock Holmes.
We haven’t seen too much for the film yet, but thank to some pictures posted by USA Today, we get a little more insight as to what we can expect from the film. So far everything looks very Ritchie-like. Whether or not you enjoy his style is your call. If one thing is for sure, you know what you’re getting when you go to one of his films. It looks like there’s a lot of action sequences, dirty looks, fun costumes, and of course, amazing performances. I’m still not convinced that this will be a good film, but I’m more than willing to be proved wrong.
Check out the photos of Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler, Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes, Jude Law as Dr. Watson, Guy Richie as “the fun Director,” and a first look at Mark Strong as Blackwood below…
Over at USA Today they have gotten a hold of some exclusive photos from the upcoming film Sherlock Holmes.

Guy Ritchie’s adaptation of the Arthur Conan Doyle classic is looking to set itself a part from it’s predecessors, while sticking with the familiar.

Recently, a IESB reader called “Jack the Ripper” revealed some new on-set information about the opening scene of Guy Ritchie’s new film Sherlock Holmes.
I’ve got some information about how the film will open before the credits roll.
The movie starts off in London (of course) and the year is 1891 with a night time chase overlayed with a narration by Mr. Watson.
Watson describes London as the capital of the world full of criminals and villainy. Funny, it reminds me of Mos Eisley. He also explains who he is.
There’s a word for writer/director Guy Ritchie’s new film RocknRolla. Actually a few words come to mind. Most of them are derogatory so I’ll choose one that’s appropriate and won’t have to be edited. Disappointing!
The plot of this film centers around shady real estate deals, a prized but never actually seen painting, and some smash and grab monetary high jinks, all set up by a savvy accountant. True to this particular genre there’s the usual cast of characters. Including, but not limited too an Old school underworld boss, bumbling squad of street smart wise guys, and a new high roller who wants to take over the town; this time in the form of a ex Russian mafia turned businessman .With an easy to follow story and extraordinary cast of talented actors such as (Tom Wilkinson), (Thandie Newton), (Gerard Butler) and (Toby Kebbel), RocknRolla has everything it needs to succeed.
