New take to 'reinvent' Holmes and Watson

Guy Ritchie has come aboard to direct Warner Bros.' "Sherlock Holmes" for Lionel Wigram and Dan Lin.
Ritchie's also working on a rewrite/polish of Tony Peckham's script, based on Wigram's upcoming comicbook "Sherlock Holmes." Studio's eying a 2010 release.

The logline remains under wraps, but execs at Warners are aiming to reinvent Holmes and sidekick Dr. John H. Watson. Wigram's noted that the new Holmes would be more adventuresome and take advantage of his skills as a boxer and swordsman (Daily Variety, March 16, 2007).

Saweeet! Sounds like my kind of movie. Hopefully getting back to some good old fashioned action instead of a CGI fest.

If Ritchie uses anyone from his past movies for the role of Sherlock Holmes I hope it's Jason Flemyng.
