Ever since The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo opened with rave reviews, everyone’s been waiting to see what direction its breakout star, Nooomi Rapace, would take. While she’s been reumoured for various things, her first official English-language movie has now been announced, with THR reporting that Rapace has joined the cast of Sherlock Holmes 2.
Not much is known about Rapace’s character in the film, due to Warner keeping all details of the movie close to their chest, although THR’s sources suggest she may play a French Gypsy. Other than that the only thing known about the plot of the film is that Holmes will face off against Moriarty and that his brother, Mycroft, will show up.
Guy Ritchie will shoot the movie later this year, with a release planned for December 2011.
