There have been an awful lot of Sherlock Holmes movies over the years. Now we’re getting a new one that’s taking Conan Doyle’s detective in a comedy direction, with Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly reteaming as Holmes and Watson.
They’re joined by a great cast including the likes of Steve Coogan, Ralph Fiennes, Kelly Macdonald, Rebecca Hall, Hugh Laurie and Rob Brydon. However, the jury is still out on whether the film itself will be any good.
We do now have our first taste of the film though, as a trailer has been released, which you can take a look at below. The film will be in cinemas around Christmas. [Read more…]
Synopsis: ‘The true story of Hollywood’s greatest comedy double act, Laurel and Hardy, is brought to the big screen for the first time. Starring Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly as the inimitable movie icons, Stan & Ollie is the heart-warming story of what would become the pair’s triumphant farewell tour.
Before the release of Wreck-It Ralph, there were plenty of people shaking their heads and saying it was evidence that Disney animation had lost its way. However, it turned out to be the beginning of a critical and box office rennaisance that’s continued with the likes of Frozen and Moana. Its $470 million worldwide gross also means we’re getting a sequel.
Kong: Skull Island will be one of Hollywood’s first big tests of the year. Warner has hopes for a franchise and is already planning to put Kong up against Godzilla, but it’s far from certain whether Skull Island will be the massive hit they’re hoping for. It certainly looks like it could be pretty fun though.
Jacques Audiard won the Palm d’Or at Canned for his last movie, Dheepan, about a former Sri Lankan freedom fighter finding life difficult as an asylum seeker in France. However, he’s planning something rather different for his next film, the noir western, The Sister Brothers.
Back in August it was revealed that Stepbrothers and Talladega Nights co-stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are reuniting for Holmes and Watson. Now they have some company, as Ralph Fiennes and Hugh Laurie have joined the movie.
