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.
Check out the trailer after the jump.

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…

State of Play, has everything it takes to make it a great film. It has an amazing cast, cutting edge issues in politics and business, and although it’s a fun ride, it failed to out-do it’s source material. If you haven’t seen the TV show, this is a good solid escapist movie. If you have seen the TV show, you’ll know what you’re missing. The TV show, was better than the film, no questions asked. Apparently what the film needed more of, was time on the screen.

The only thing that even slightly intrigues me about the new International trailer (which is not that different from the first one) for State of Play is whether or not Helen Mirren is saying “who she knew” or “who she blew”? Because it sure as hell sounds like the latter to me and changes my entire opinion.
Overall, the music, the lines, everything in the trailer says this film is a bust. It should have everything going for it. It has an amazing cast (although the first one was pretty amazing as well) including Helen Mirren, Rachel McAdams, and Russel Crowe. The original was well written and extremely will received by fans. It has a built in audience that is sitting there waiting to buy a ticket. Hell, I’m their target audience and after watching this all I see is a cheesy, made for TV suspenseful drama. I’m going to try not to judge a movie by it’s trailer and keep some hope alive for the film, although right now all I can think is that they should have left it as it was.
Check out the trailer below…
