Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes Movie Plot Leaked

Hey folks, thanks to a lot of movie sleuths out there, we get a glimpse of the plot of the movies we are dying to see. Thanks to IESB.net, we have gotten hold of a leaked plot of the Sherlock Holmes movie being directed by Guy Ritchie and stars Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes and Jude Law as Mr. Watson.

Here’s the scoop from “Jack the Ripper” who wrote to IESB.net:

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.

Oops, the preview ends there. If you want the whole thing, head over to IESB.net and read about it.

I’m getting excited for this movie. At least the movie guys are respecting the novel and trying (at least trying…) to stick to the original characterization of Holmes and Dr. Watson.
