Hmm, so it does.  Now that he's looking the part of a no-longer-juvenile Sherlock, maybe it's time for Messrs. Moffat and Gatiss to present him and Martin Freeman with some motivation (which is to say, story ideas) to do more Sherlock.

Benedict as Jack the Ripper 😲

Seeing as how they never caught the guy, that movie has a whole lot of room to explore.

Yeah, I just saw this, I mean news about it! 

Looks perfect casting and indeed, certainly a British obsession...

and that's the Jack the Ripper story, not Benedict!

Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivia Colman Go to Battle in Raunchy Trailer for ‘War of the Roses’ Remake

Sounds like it could be interesting, and they've got two good leads.  (I'm not really familiar with the earlier incarnations that they mention.)

I guess it's this one:

If that's the case we are about to have a lot of fun, and I bet Ben had it too. I don't remember him doing a real comedy since Starter For 10.
And I adore Olivia!

That's the original, you mean?  Right, sure looks like it would be.

Hopefully the trailer for the Cumberbatch/Colman remake will be in theaters / on the internet soon.

Gah.

I'm not on Reddit (geography restriction sometimes) but I check it once in a while when I am able to. Look what I saw in the first post. AMA Benedict Cumberbatch. Looks legit. It's my sleeping time now and I have no idea when is this exactly but it's new and I leave it to you guys in case you want to participate.

Apparently, yes.  Someone with a MOD badge on their account says it's been verified and approved.  He's already given some interesting replies.

My daughter sent me the link.

She asked if he would consider doing another horror.

I was mortified at someone predictably asking about Sherlock...

tho according to one fan girl, S5 is defo happening...

yeah, right.

I agree, if it were already a sure thing, we'd have heard something definitive from somebody "official."

But Moffat & Gatiss used to say that they'd like to revisit the boys when they're at a more typical age for Holmes adaptations, in their 50s or 60s (sorry, don't recall the exact quote).  Well, Freeman is now 54 and Cumberbatch is 49 -- so I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear some good news within ten years or so.

That also depends, of course, on M&G getting at least one good, strong plot idea.

Want doesn't equate to execution!
