Making his first professional move since trampling box offices as
Iron Man,
Robert Downey Jr. has taken the role of Sherlock Holmes in the upcoming, eponymous drama from Warner Bros. Guy Ritchie (aka Mrs. Madonna) will direct, leaving fingers crossed we'll get some
Lock, Stock-style grit and shoot-em-up action.
If the movie sounds familiar, it's because it is: Columbia Pictures is putting together a comedic take on the classic tale with Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell - at least, we're assuming it will be a comedy.
Shooting for Downey's crime-solving movie will kick off in October. In the meantime: Which version would you rather see? (Think: A pipe-smoking
Borat vs.
Iron Man in a cloak. I know. It's a tough one.)
