Two new Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows character posters
Whoa! It's been nearly three months since we saw the first trailer for Guy Ritchie's sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Has there been anything of note since? It's not like Warner Brothers has to do a lot to market it or anything. The name Robert Downey Jr. is more than enough for most people, and considering the first film nabbed roughly $520M, there's already a built in audience. This one sees the genius detective and his loyal sidekick Watson(Jude Law) facing down the brilliant villainy of Professor Moriarty(Jared Harris). Noomi Rapace(Prometheus), Stephen Fry(Bones), and Kelly Reilly co-star, with a cameo by Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler.
A pair of connecting posters have been released, which when put together show Holmes and Watson starring face-to-face. Shouldn't this be Holmes and Moriarty? Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows hits theaters on December 16th.
