Guy Ritchie Taking On Treasure Island As Potential New Franchise

Alex Harakis, apparently a newcomer screenwriter, is in charge of putting together the script, but given Ritchie's own screenwriting background he may have a hand in the script as well. Feel free to begin your casting speculation now-- though I bet the studio would love to have Robert Downey Jr. on board...

Sherlock And Chipmunks Underwhelm At Box Office, But Mission Impossible Is Already A Hit

Meanwhile, in just 425 theaters, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol made $4.7 million on Friday, and is on track to earn $12 million-- which, if it had opened last weekend, would have been almost enough to unseat New Year's Eve from the #1 spot.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows Gets A Frenetic Second Trailer

Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows Gets A Frenetic Second Trailer

We all know that Sherlock Holmes movies, as envisioned by Guy Ritchie, will contain insane action and occasional use of slo-mo and a lot of Victorian settings blown to smithereens. But why lean so heavily on that and leave out most of the humor? It's the repartee between Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, not the glitzy modern action, that makes these movies worthwhile, but this trailer makes the sequel seem even more over-the-top than the original...

Now the only question that remains is which title is dumber: Transformers: Dark of the Moon or Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.
