There have been tons of adaptations of the famous SHERLOCK HOLMES stories recently, but this one may be the most interesting of them all!
Sir Ian McKellen is going to be playing Sherlock in a new movie about the famed detective’s later years. Based on a book called A SLIGHT TRICK OF THE MIND by Mitch Cullen, the movie will tell the story of an aged Sherlock who now lives in a quiet village in Sussex with his housekeeper and her son who is an aspiring detective.
Despite being in retirement, Sherlock is constantly troubled by an unsolved case from fifty years before of which he only remembers fragments and calls on old friend and partner, Dr. Watson, to finally solve the case.
The movie will be directed by Bill Condon, who is known for directing BREAKING DAWN PART 1 and PART 2, who previously worked with McKellen on 2001’s GODS AND MONSTERS.
