SHERLOCK HOLMES: THE ADLER POSTER

One month after the two posters showing the lead male characters of Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holdmes” (Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes and Jude Law as Dr. Watson), Warner Bros just revealed a third poster with the main (Canadian) actress of the movie, Rachel McAdams (“Mean Girls”), who plays the charming Irene Adler. This character featured in only one story written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (“A Scandal in Bohemia” – 1891), but she’s considered like the most interesting female character of the Sherlock Holmes stories (“She has the face of the most beautiful of women, and the mind of the most resolute of men”).


Also, between 1990 and 2004, American writer Carole Nelson Douglas wrote 13 mysterey novels and short stories leaded by Irene Adler. Concerning the movie (which is not a novel adaptation, but , a comic book one, created by producer Lionel Wigram – who put Doyle’s public domain characters in an original story) it definitly looks more like an action comedy than a suspense movie. US release: December 25th, 2009. French release: February 3rd, 2009.
