But not the stuffy-holier-than-thou Sherklock Holmes you remember as a kid. Instead, Ritchie will be polishing the script (ahem) and directing the film based on the upcoming comic book imagining of the sleuth written by Lionel Wigram.

“stuffy-holier-than-thou Sherklock Holmes you remember as a kid”
Did you ever actually read Sherlock Homes? He was basically an asperger’s with coke addiction.
Anyways sounds kickass, I’m a big Sherlock fan but not to much so that i wouldn’t enjoy what ever Guy Richie might think up in his violently brilliant mind. Better go read up on this Lionel Wigram fella then.
with a coke addiction*
I’m pretty sure most depictions of him outside of the original series of novels usually glossed over the addiction
Obviously, you’ve never seen “The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes” or “The Seven Per-Cent Solution”. The addiction is a major part of the story in both cases. It’s not glossed over at all.
