IESB reader Jack the Ripper sends
in story details from Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes!
{sidebar id=1}One of our loyal readers from the U.K
has sent in the following story details from the Guy Ritchie directed
Sherlock Holmes starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law.
Hi Robert, Jack The Ripper here. Wanted
to share some story details from Sherlock Holmes that is currently
shooting in London. I've got some information about how the film will
open before the credits roll.
The movie starts off in London (of
course) and the year is 1891 with a night time chase overlayed with a
narration by Mr. Watson.
Watson describes London as the capital
of the world full of criminals and villainy. Funny, it reminds me of
Mos Eisley. He also explains who he is.
During a foot chase we are introduced
to Sherlock Holmes. Holmes has a very dry sense of humour and is,
just like in the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle books, very thorough in his
observations.
The foot chase quickly goes underground
into the sewer.
In the sewers, Holmes with the help of
Mr. Watson gets himself in a fist fight with a bunch of bowler hat
wearing, gun-totting thugs and also a 400lb, 7 foot giant.
All this while a dark robed Satan
worshiper is about to sacrifice himself a hot young girl.
After an all out fight, Holmes and
Watson defeat the thugs and the dark robed villain named Lord
Blackwood.
We find out that Blackwood is behind
the brutal deaths of at least 5 women who have been butchered
horrendously. There is history alluded to between Blackwood, Watson
and Holmes.
Blackwood is arrested by Inspector
Lestrade who obviously feels a bit of contempt for Holmes - a
consulting investigator who does not work for the police force
officially.
Holmes and Watson tell Inspector
Lestrade they do not want any credit for their latest bit of
handiwork but Holmes and Watson always get credit regardless
apparently.
Let the opening credits roll! A montage
of newspaper clippings (that plays while the credits appear on the
screen) shows the history between Watson and Holmes and their early
crime fighting ways. From their first crime scene in their 20's to
the latest involving Lord Blackwood.
And I'll cut Jack the Ripper off there
(no pun intended). He sent us a lot of good info and I don't want to
spoil it all at once!
I asked Mr. Ripper if this was
information from the set, if this was indeed legit. He's says it is,
although there may be some minor changes during shooting.
We have much more where that come from,
stay tuned as Jack the Ripper gives more SHERLOCK HOLMES story
details in the days to come!
