Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 According to the BBC, it's airing this fall, but to the best of my knowledge no dates have been announced yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Interesting how like, yet how completely unlike Cumberpatch and Freeman are to their literary counterparts. The same characters, but updated to the modern environment. (dropping the characters like they are in the book into 2010 would have been a disaster) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I have yet to see that version. It looks like an interesting, but basically nonsensical film.Anyway. Jeremy Brett is MY vintage Holmes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neimoidian 14 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 It looks like an interesting, but basically nonsensical film.So is my opinion. To my surprise, I liked that movie, mostly because of the Downey Jr.-Law duo which really delivers. It was sort of a guilty pleasure to me. The story is merely an excuse for some witty or not so witty but geniuinely funny dialogues and gags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I must seek it out then. I just hope Moriarty isn't in this one. In the original Conan Doyle writings he only features in a single one story. But somehow he's been turned into a sort of Voldemort. Probably by those early Rathbone films...

Wycket 36 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Yeah, the movie is more about Holmes and Watson while Sherlock of course deals with that, but definitely puts more of a focus on the actual plots. Both have their merits, though the tv show is great and I hope they continue to do them for a few more years. Unfortunately, both are getting a considerable amount of film work lately so I expect that's unlikely, but at least we'll get six (hopefully) good quality films out of the duo.

They are more ensemble or supporting actors, character actors even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedohr 0 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Isn't it curious how the music in the episodes by David Arnold and Michael Price are somehow similar to the Hans Zimmer music in the Hollywood film. Especially the use of cymbalom I think...The gloomy atmosphere in minor..deep cellos...Great music. Both the BBC and the Hollywood ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music in that one is surprisingly similar to the two more recent incarnations.A good point. But I don't find them all that similar. There is one theme in there, a gypsy-esque that bears some resemblance.The rest is very HollywoodishThe fact that we have solo-violins and mandolin/dulcimer sounds playing folky minor themes is what they have all in common. The violin part is understandable since Holmes plays the violin himself. But that the turn of the century eastern European style ends up in all those movies isn't all that clear to me. Modernized for sure in the BBC version, but still there. Could it be that that sort of music was the top40 sound in Sherlock's time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brónach 1,302 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I tholught that Moriarty was awesome. The tension in his scene is just superb. Moriarty felt like straight out of a Batman story.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Moriarty only features in 2 Conan Doyle stories directly and is mostly an unseen threat. so there is little characterisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neimoidian 14 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Interesting that Cumberpatch and Hugh Laurie (in House) play essentially the same character. That's because House is essentially modern Holmes. His relationship with Willson mirrors that of Holmes and Watson and last but not least even his flat number is 221B.As for Moriarty, he was some sort of professor in the original stories, wasn't he?

Both are updated version of Holmes. But both are also different from the literary Holmes in the same way.Both take a greater pleasure is talking down on other people then the literary version did. Both are quite bitchy. (though House morseso)Cumberpatch's Holmes seems a-sexual though, like the thought of a physical relationship is beneath him. Something certainly not true for House.

Richard Penna 3,687 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Ah, so they have been filmed! I was hearing conflicting opinions on whether Moff/Freeman/Cumberbatch had had time to do it.I wonder if a score release is waiting to include music from both seasons.

Jay 37,355 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 They must have filmed season 2 before Freeman and Cumberatch headed to NZ for The Hobbit. Though I can't imagine it would have taken this long to edit the footage together. Unless season 2 features a lot of scenes that neither Freeman nor Cumberbatch is in... but that doesnt' seem likely.I agree a score CD will probably turn up shortly after Season 2 airs with music from both seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 So finally I got around to seeing BBC's Sherlock. I don't think I need to explain why I thought it was so phenomenally addictive and all-around successful at this point. The chemistry between the main cast, the scripts, the plots, the tone have all been properly praised before.Even the flaws I thought the pilot had (Sherlock's interaction with a realistic environment was inevitably very similar to recent incarnations of the myth like House than Sherlock Holmes, and I also thought that guiding the audience through Holmes' deductive process with superimposed texts as he explored the lady's corpse was a cop-out) disappeared in subsequent episodes. So much care, intelligence and, unlike other BBC productions, showmanship behind this.My only complaint would be Andrew Scott's Moriarty. Not the way he was written, of course, but the way he was performed -- it was like channeling Ralph Fiennes' over-the-top Voldemort sans the gusto, as if he was forcing his psychopathically playful mood swings. It never once looked, to my eyes, as if Scott was having fun with his material, but as if he was trying to hit all the notes at once. In any other production, this performance might have been more than acceptable. In Sherlock's outstanding caliber, it happens to stand out a bit more.

Brónach 1,302 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I loved that Moriarty!Something I didn't like was the cab driver in the first episode. He felt like an actor instead of a character, and the character as a whole the way it was written reminded me I was seeing just fiction and took me out of the episode. Otherwise it was a great episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I agree with Elmo that Holmes' atitude in Sherlock is very similar to that of House.Moriarity was a bit too obvious though. Like a Doctor Who villain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Depends. Doctor who typically has 12 or 13 eps. Top Gear the same, though they split them in 2 parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,687 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Great news about the soundtrack.Arnold had hinted about it, bit it had disappeared into the ether somewhat.While I liked the music as a whole, there's one cue I want to see - the time-lapse shot where we see the security guard on the bank of the Thames. It's short and synthy though, so I'm not confident.But if each episode has say 1 hour of score and we get a full CD, that's potentially half of each episode's score.
