Mr Holmes is one of the 2015 movies that I am looking forward to the most, as it will see Ian McKellen take on the role of Sherlock Holmes.
Mr Holmes
McKellen is one of the finest actors of his generation and I am excited to see him take on yet another iconic role - could this be an Oscar winning performance from the actor? I know it is a little early to be talking about the Oscars 2016, but I just thought I would put that out there.
The movie is one of the standout movies at the Berlin International Film Festival and now a brand new clip for the film has been released:
Mr Holmes sees is based on the novel by Mitch Cullin and sees McKellen reunite with director Bill Condon - the pair worked together on Gods and Monsters.
Hattie Morahan, Patrick Kennedy, Hiroyuki Sanada, Roger Allam, Philip Davis, Frances de la Tour, and Milo Parker will join McKellen on the cast list.
MR. HOLMES is a new twist on the world's most famous detective.1947, an aging Sherlock Holmes returns from a journey to Japan, where, in search of a rare plant with powerful restorative qualities, he has witnessed the devastation of nuclear warfare.
Now, in his remote seaside farmhouse, Holmes faces the end of his days tending to his bees, with only the company of his housekeeper and her young son, Roger.
Grappling with the diminishing powers of his mind, Holmes comes to rely upon the boy as he revisits the circumstances of the unsolved case that forced him into retirement, and searches for answers to the mysteries of life and love - before it's too late.
