Sherlock Holmes Sequel in Development With Brad Pitt?
Guy Ritchie’s upcoming adaptation of Sherlock Holmes film already has sequel plans. According to Variety and THR, Warner Bros is already moving forward with the sequel by hiring Kieran and Michele Mulroney (Justice League: Mortal) to write the script, with Brad Pitt in negotiations to come aboard. This will be the first time they have worked together since “Snatch.”
The whole cast, including Rachel McAdams as Holmes’ love interest Irene Adler, is expected to return as well as Ritchie to helm.
Last month, it was rumored that Brad Pitt had filmed some scenes as Holmes’ nemesis Moriarty during a set of secret reshoots, but Warner Bros denied these claims. The character does make a breif cameo appearance in the first film, setting up a potential sequel, but those who know claim the character remains in the shadows and cannot be recognized.

Hans Landa with a hint of charisma and a barrel-load of menace.
The Weinstein Company (TWC) is trying to cut 40 minutes from Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” (It’s now 2′40″, and considered too long a sit, especially for American audiences.)
Because TWC has been having financial issues and “Inglourious Basterds” had mixed reviews at Cannes, Weinstein and co-producer Universal are both trying to convince Tarantino to cut the film .
At the end of the festival, Tarantino himself started telling press that he would be going back into the editing room, potentially adding a new scene before the infamous bar scene in the middle of the movie.
The film is scheduled to appear in theaters on August 21, 2009.
