Synopsis
Robert Downey Jr reprises his role as the world’s most famous
detective, Sherlock Holmes, and Jude Law returns as his friend and
colleague, Dr Watson, in SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS.
Filmmaker Guy Ritchie returns to direct the sequel to the
smash hit SHERLOCK HOLMES, which also reunites producers Joel
Silver, Lionel Wigram, Susan Downey and Dan Lin.
Bruce Berman and Steve Clark-Hall served as executive
producers.
In her first English-speaking role, Swedish actress Noomi Rapace,
who gained international attention in the Swedish film THE GIRL WITH
THE DRAGON TATTOO, plays a mysterious Gypsy named Sim, who becomes
allied with Holmes and Watson in their quest to stop Professor
Moriarty (Jared Harris - TV’s MAD MEN, THE CURIOUS CASE OF
BENJAMIN BUTTON).
Returning from the first film, the cast also includes Rachel McAdams
as Irene Adler; Kelly Reilly as Watson’s bride, Mary Morstan;
Eddie Marsan as Inspector Lestrade; and Geraldine James as
Holmes’s long-suffering landlady, Mrs Hudson. Stephen Fry (ALICE
IN WONDERLAND, HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE) plays Mycroft
Holmes, Sherlock’s decidedly eccentric older brother.
SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS was written by Michele Mulroney
& Kieran Mulroney. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson were created by
the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and appear in stories and novels by
him. Ritchie once again collaborated with the behind-the-scenes team
from the first movie, including director of photography Philippe
Rousselot, production designer Sarah Greenwood, editor James
Herbert, costume designer Jenny Beavan, and composer Hans Zimmer.
