Sherlock Holmes 2 is currently pencilled in for a release date of December 16th 2011, putting it in direct competition with the fourth instalment of the Mission Impossible franchise.
On paper, you would think that this was a slightly foolhardy choice on Warner’s part, but given that the original film came out just one week after Avatar, they perhaps have reason to be bullish. After all, Sherlock is the fresher franchise, suggesting that maybe Paramount should be the ones to reconsider their position.
Either way it should make for a fascinating showdown as Hollywood heavyweights Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Junior face-off for their share of the Christmas box-office spoils. And from what we’ve gleaned about Sherlock 2, we reckon RDJ should back himself all the way…

Jared Harris, whose most notable big-screen performance to date was a small role in The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. He was the grown up WIll in Lost in Space and had one the meatier roles in Happiness, not to mention Natural Born Killers and Dead Man. Christ he's been around for yonks and has had much more screen time than you give him credit for

Lets be honest though the average cinema-goer will most probably only have seen Benjamin Button and maybe Lost In Space but lets be honest that isn't exactly memorable and when you consider that Sherlock Holmes was a 12a then you need to consider that quite a large amount of youngsters would have seen it and would have no idea that Natural Born Killers or Dead Man exist and as such the Benjamin Button reference is pretty correct dependent on whether you look at it from an "average Joe" point of view or the point of view of an intellectual cinema-goer.

I seem to remember Jared Harris quite clearly from 'Resident Evil: Apocalypse' as Dr Ashford. Surely, quite a few people will have seen that, as it would definitely be something the younger zombie-lovin' gaming folk are into?
