What's with all the Sherlock Holmes movies? asks EW! Robert Downey Jr. is set to star in Sherlock Holmes, director Guy Ritchie's feature drama about the fictional detective. This latest incarnation of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle character is based on an upcoming comicbook from producer Lionel Wigram which portrays Holmes as less stuffy and more adventurous, using physical prowess along with intellect to solve mysteries.

The movie would feature Cohen as the master detective and Ferrell as his assistant, Dr. Watson.
