Ritchie does Holmes

Jude Law is up to play Watson to Robert Downey Jr's Holmes in Guy Ritchie's "action packed" Sherlock Holmes.

I can't but help think that this is just a car crash waiting to happen but who knows I may be wrong. For me, the definitive Holmes was Jeremy Brett in the Granada series.

There's no way Downey will beat that performance but Law way well be a passable Watson.
