The trailer for Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. While it's nothing too mindblowing, we do get to see a good deal of Noomi Rapace's character, and bit of Mad Men's Jared Harris as Moriarty. It's nice to see Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law back in fine form, and Ritchie seems to be maintaining the style he set with the first film. The sequel will see Holmes and Watson facing off against Holmes' arch-nemesis Professor Moriarty.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  The film also stars Noomi Rapace, Eddie Marsan, Kelly Reilly, and Stephen Fry.  Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows opens December 16th.
