Stephen Fry to join Robert Downey Jr and co in 'Sherlock Holmes' cast
Stephen Fry has announced he will play Sherlock Holmes' brother in a sequel to 2009's Guy Ritchie-directed film. The actor and comedian revealed to Danny Baker on BBC 5Live that he will play Mycroft Holmes in the follow-up to the first film, which starred Robert Downey Jr as Holmes, with Jude Law playing Dr Watson.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's books portray Mycroft as more intelligent than his detective brother, with a shady role in the British government.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo's Noomi Rapace will play the female lead – with the casting of Holmes' nemesis Professor Moriarty yet to be announced.
Names rumoured for that role include Russell Crowe, Brad Pitt and Daniel Day Lewis.

I can hardly wait (of course, I mean to buy the DVD, so I have to wait longer than most, but the last one was well worth owning and this one looks great, too).

Now that I know Jared Harris (from Madmen) is the son of Richard Harris....I can't help but notice how similar their voices are. Something I never noticed before

Between the thumb and the wrist.
That looks awesome. I've realized that what I like about the movies is they've taken the Bond approach. Vague similarities to the novels, but with far more sex and action. I'm okay with that.
