First Official Sherlock Holmes Image

Though you’ve probably seen a lot of sleezy, paparazzi photos snapped by guys hiding in trees around the set, this is the first official image released from Robert Downey’s follow up to playing a dude disguised as another dude. Yeah that’s Sherlock Holmes I’m talking about and the image you see below comes from USA Today where they have a feature piece on Downey’s Oscar nomination.

Robert’s getting a lot of attention for that nomination but let’s face it, he has no chance of winning and the only reason he’s getting so much attention is because Heath Ledger isn’t here to get it instead. That’s sort of a shame, since his performance in Tropic Thunder really is brilliant. It’s just that Heath’s Joker is even better.

Here’s the Sherlock Holmes pick, showing all three of the movie’s main characters. Jude Law as Dr. Watson, Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes, and Rachel McAdams as Irena Adler. I had no idea Rachel McAdams was so short.
