When word hit the web that Robert Downey Jr. won’t be starring in COWBOYS VS. ALIENS, the blame of “scheduling conflict” was put on SHERLOCK HOLMES 2. That can’t be any closer from the truth because EW said the shooting for the elementary sequel, my dear Watson, will start this June, in the same season that COWBOYS VS. ALIENS will also start its principal photography.
The sequel project hasn’t been officially greenlit yet by the studio but if you’d recall last September, WB brought in Kieran and Michele Mulroney to write a draft for SHERLOCK HOLMES 2 and those of you who’ve seen the first installment this past Christmas would know that a certain Moriarty will be take his reign in the next story.
Sherlock Holmes so far has earned $166 Million domestically but took in almost $300 Million in total worldwide.
