Sherlock Holmes Villain Details

IGN UK got a chance to talk to British actor Mark Strong about the villain(s) in Warner Bros. Pictures' upcoming Sherlock Holmes.

Strong said that Holmes' arch-nemesis Moriarty is in the film, "but you don't really see him. I think he's there because if the franchise carries on, there's a possibility that he will appear in a larger guise.

"But for the purposes of this one and the detective narrative, I'm the guy that Sherlock's after, Lord Blackwood. And he's a cultist/Satanist lord who is the ultimate cad."

Directed by Guy Ritchie, the thriller stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and Rachel McAdams. It opens on November 20, 2009.

I suppose it's a good thing that they don't go straight for Moriarty; build up the hype with a good first feature.

hugh jackman woulda been a better holmes but RDJ will be great. and puhing moriarty back to a later film is good because he's the archc nemesis, and to have him appear early wouldn't be good for the following movies. just like how mandarin will be the villain of iron man 3

I read that RDJ got knocked the F**K out (really) while shooting a fight scene with some crazy looking big ass dude and he needed 6 stitches inside his mouth.

I'm gonna wait to comment on this until I hear/see more, but I think it could be awesome. And that news about RDJ getting knocked out was false.

Lord Blackwood is a cultist/Satanist, eh?

It'd be awesome if he was into the Necronomicon. Then the movie would be like the "Shadows over Baker Street" short story collection that combined Sherlock Holmes with H.P. Lovecraft. My favorite story was the one with the bees.
