It’s not much of a surprise that regardless of the success of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Warner Bros. is ordering a script for Sherlock Holmes 3.  Getting a sequel script into development has become standard practice for major franchises so if the upcoming film is a success, the studio can hit the ground running with the next one.  According to Deadline, Iron Man 3 screenwriter Drew Pearce will handle the screenplay for the next adventure of Sherlock Holmes and his boy Watson.  Unsurprisingly, there are no details about Sherlock Holmes 3.  I assume it will involve a mystery, crazy deductive-reasoning skills, and lots of speed-ramping.

Pearce has been on a hot streak lately.  He was the co-writer of British superhero comedy series No Heroics and then was hired as a go-to guy for superhero movies including Iron Man 3, Runaways, and The Mighty plus he also did some work for the script for Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming monster movie, Pacific Rim.  This latest gig serves as a reminder that I really need to get around to seeing No Heroics.

  1. I hope Colonel Sebastian Moran will be the main villain in Sherlock Holmes 3.

    I look forward to seeing some of the following characters in future sequels:
    Inspector Baynes, Billy, Inspector Bradstreet, Tobias Gregson, Stanley Hopkins, Shinwell Johnson, Athelney Jones, Langdale Pike, Wiggins, Enola Holmes, Raffles Holmes, Sherringford Holmes, Mary Russell

  2. I’m quite surprised at the hiring of a screen play man whom really does new wave action hero type movies! But to each his own. Here it is December and still no leaks as to what SH-3 may contain!? How about a little old fashioned insight. Perspective is more the word here. Come now Sherlock can’t solve ” The Ripper?” Ritchie wants a based in America film this time! So be it! After all, one of the suspects was known to travel to the U.S. at the end of the White Chappel Murders! Maybe Mr. Ritchie aught to contact me if he’s not getting the plot he truely envisions!
