Crowe still in Holmes? Sep. 5, 2008
Source: Latino   by: Mike Sampson

It appeared that the Russell Crowe in SHERLOCK HOLMES rumors were debunked pretty quickly. I had even heard word that Crowe was offered a role in the film (alongside Robert Downey, Jr.) put politely passed. Now Latino Review is saying that Crowe could still be in the mix. Apparently the initial reports of Crowe starring as Watson were incorrect and that Guy Ritchie was talking to Crowe about starring as Professor Moriarty. Latino's source says there is a "VERY good chance" that Crowe will sign on to play Moriarty in the film. They also report that Gerard Butler was the one who was offered the Watson role and turned it down. Crowe can certainly play a bad-ass villain but the question is whether he'll want to play second fiddle to Robert Downey, Jr. And remember that JJ Abrams was after Crowe to play the villain in STAR TREK only to be denied. I'd personally love to see two of the best actors of their generation - RDJ and Crowe - go head-to-head. Let's see if Warner Bros. and Ritchie can make it happen...

Extra Tidbit: I still love the idea of a Sacha Baron Cohen/Will Ferrell "Sherlock Holmes" movie.

in response to the tidbit.. I'm as big a Ferrell fan as any, and I love me some Ali G, but I think we have enough of the same ol same ol from Ferrell. I'd like to see him in some more serious roles, like in Stranger than Fiction.

But RDJ Sherlock Holmes movie? I'm there.

DANIEL-DAY LEWIS WOULD BE A GREAT HOLMES
If he wasn't preparing for the musical Nine with Rob Marshall, I'd say the perfect casting would be DDL as Sherlock and Downey Jr. as Watson, as Sherlock was pretty tall and Watson was shorter. Also that is more authentic, as Day-Lewis is 6-2 and is a Brit as well. Obviously this cannot be, but in a perfect mind's eye, I think that would be great.

RDJ rules... Crowe is pretty amazing, but who the f does Gerard Butler think he is? I'm pretty happy to hear he won't be in this film because I think he's a bit on the overacting side, but I can't believe he'd turn such a big role down.

Downey is one of the best of his generation since he has a ton of roles that he is great in. Natural Born Killers, Kiss kiss bang bang,IRON MAN

I always loved Sherlock Holmes, but I'm not sure about Guy Ritchie. I'll still give it a chance.

Since when is Downey one of the best actors of his generation?

ROBIN HOOD!
I say get RDJ into Ridley Scott's Nottingham (2009). RDJ as an antagonistic Robin Hood against Russel Crowe would make Nottingham a definite must see! Can Downey pull off the accent?

I AGREE
I am fine with the reinvention or whatever theyre calling it, but I also think a comedic take on holmes would be great, especially with those two involved... fingers crossed.

AWESOME!
Crowe as Moriarty would be pretty sweet, I'm getting more and more excited about this, and I have to agree with you on also being excited about the Ferrell/Cohen Sherlock Holmes project thats gonna kick ass as well.
