Sherlock Holmes
Concept: The famous sleuth goes into action mode as he and Dr. Watson take on a villain that threatens the whole of London.
Talent: Robert Downey Jr. stars with strong support from Jude Law as Dr. Watson. Rachel McAdams co-stars.
Wild card: Downey, a clever man of action? Of course. But how will he mesh with director Guy Ritchie? Excelling with quick-cut heist movies like Snatch and RocknRolla, Ritchie tends to go soggy with more serious fare. This incarnation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic character is based on a Sherlock Holmes comic by Harry Potter executive producer Lionel Wigram.
Release date: Nov. 20
