A strong holiday debut can lead to some great casting news. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law’s crime-caper blockbuster Sherlock Holmes didn’t beat James Cameron’s Avatar this X-mas weekend, but it brought in enough to gain the interest of one of Hollywood’s biggest acts for a possible role in the premeditated sequel: Brad Pitt:
“The director, Guy Ritchie, loves Brad. He has worked with him before and thinks he is one of the most underrated actors working today. Guy knows that everyone thinks of as a Pitt as a pretty boy and can’t wait to turn him into the world’s greatest supervillain. It will definitely make the sequel a must-see.”
Rumors have Pitt playing Holmes undisclosed nemesis, Professor Moriarty. Sounds exciting to us, just get rid of the unnecessary love story hoopla and we’re good.
