Reilly Wary of Sherlock Holmes Role

British actress Kelly Reilly only agreed to take a role in Guy Ritchie's upcoming Sherlock Holmes because Robert Downey JR. had accepted the part of the super sleuth.

The beauty plays the girlfriend of Jude Law's character Dr Watson - and she admits Ritchie's reputation for male-dominated gangster movies madeher hesitant to take the role.

She says, "Yeah (I had to consider taking the role) is the honest answer to that. It is a boys' film. The two women's roles are not exactly onesyou would break your heart over trying to get. "Unless you want to work with Robert Downey Jr.

and just do a cracking good scene with him, which is enough for me, thanks very much! And it wasworth it.

But as far as a female role that I want to attack and play andgo very deeply into, I don't think that's the film I'm gonna find it on".

And Reilly is calling on Ritchie to include more female roles in futurefilms "He should. He should write for women, and work with women".
