If it's a non-issue why include it? I thought steve8's point was that this homosexual trait is being used by writers/creaters to give 'depth' to characters when in fact characters can be interesting without it. All of recent television and films are saturated with it.
Looks awesome. I'm glad Ritchie is finally directing a film not written by him. I love his direction, but felt that his writing has been lacking recently.
I just read the script. It seems this version will be markedly different from the produced one. In the preview it seems Watson and Holmes live together (with the 3 am violin and clothes comment) while in this script Watson is about to propose to his girlfriend. Also the dialogue is different. Holmes asks the maid for a screwdriver(to release the cuffs) in the script but in the preview aparently the keys are on his crotch.

It would be nice to see the shooting script...
Yeah, I think the shooting draft have changes by Guy Ritchie and Simon Kinberg. Unfortunately I don't have that one.
I believe that this is one of the reasons why you can never judge a script by its movie. The script that launched a movie into production will be vastly different from the end product and the changes it's undertaken. Yet, so many writers and critics are quick to blame movies they don't like on the writer and the script.
Well, this should fit in nicely alongside Star Trek -- another intelligent, thought-provoking franchise re-imagined as brainless, mildly diverting summer entertainment. Should be fun, but I wish they wouldn't call it Sherlock Holmes.
This actually looks fairly promising. At the very least, a fun ride. Ritchie's name has been drug through the mud ever since Madonna entered the picture and for good reason but from the looks of the trailer, his interpretation of the characters seems a little more gutsy than most directors would shoot for. I imagine most, good or bad, would be pretty by-the-books.
The cast also looks pretty solid. Robert Downey Jr.'s quickly becoming everyone's favorite cokefiend, not to mention he's a damn fine actor and always memorable. Jude Law's got his moments and Rachel McAdams is probably one of the better actresses of her generation around right now.
Still, only time will tell. Ritchie's made two attempts to win back his reputation after Swept Away and neither has seemed to make any waves. Hopefully, this time will be different.
How Guy Ritchie is making films after Swept Away, Revolver and Rock n Rolla is beyond me. I'm not saying this looks bad, but the guy must have either friends in high places or some serious dollar.
