A Sherlock Holmes Sequel in Development with Brad Pitt?

Source:  Risky Business Blog
Sherlock Holmes Sequel in Development with Brad Pitt?It seems that Guy Ritchie's upcoming film already has sequel plans, with one of Ritchie's former actors. According to The Hollywood Reporter's Risky Business blog, a sequel to Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes is already in the works, with Brad Pitt in negotiations to come aboard.

The site is reporting that Pitt would play longtime Holmes enemy Moriarty in the proposed sequel, althought a deal has not been reached yet. It was also said that Justice League: Mortal screenwriters Kieran and Michele Mulroney were being brought on to write the sequel. It was said that the original cast would likely return, as might Guy Ritchie return to direct.

Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, Mark Strong, Kelly Reilly, Eddie Marsan and will open on December 25. We'll be sure to keep you posted on any further sequel updates as soon as we have more information.

You only need to see one film with him in it to accept Pitt, and that is the other Guy Ritchie film Snatch. You will love Pitt if you didn't before then. I've always liked him, he's a great actor and he usually never plays the same person twice (unless it's a sequel).

Lazyboy??? Are you nuts? Have you seen Fight Club? How about Oceans trilogy? Or especially, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford? He is a great actor, much better than most actors and is a pretty great guy. The only problem here is he isn't English, but acting? He has that by the balls.

Please NO!! Brad Pitt does not have the brains nor talent to play one of the greatest evil masterminds minds of all time.

First film isn't even out yet and they do this, what idiots. Brad isn't even English, I sure hope he doesn't get in at all, it'll ruin his career as an actor.
Kieran and Michele aren't that good as writers, they s**k.
Next thing we know it'll be a trilogy.

I'm with Raoul, awesome. I like Brad and Downey. can';t wait for Ritchie's "The Real Rock 'N Rolla", and J.A., a Justice League movie can be done without its two heavy hitters. Those are my two cents.

no idea if i care there is a sequel or not - i haven't seen the first one yet. i know i can't wait to see it, but anticipation is not a reason to begin working on a sequel.

Hmmmmm Kieran & Michelle Mulroney, what a bad combination, just those 2 screenwriters equals this film is heading for the gutter, considering these are the 2 idiots that wanted to do a justice league movie without Superman or Batman.

Plus Ritchie has already stated his next project is Rock N Rolla 2, which he has already written, as the film is set to be a trilogy.
