More Updates On Status Of "Sherlock Holmes 3"

Earlier this week "Sherlock Holmes" producer Dan Lin, was asked about the status of the next "Holmes" sequel. He was asked when he thinks filming will begin, 

"It’s still in development. Drew Pearce is working on the script and Downey, as you know, is still finishing Iron Man 3 so we’re waiting for Downey to finish that movie and to get a script from Drew. It is a high priority for the studio and all for the filmmakers involved… We want to make the right movie. We got a great response to the second movie and frankly the Moriarty character sets such a high bar that we want to make sure we’re telling the right story for the third movie."

And then he was asked about the different locations that could feature in the threequel,

"I don’t want to go into details about [characters returning], I just want to say that there will be some new locations, new settings for the third movie. Just like Sherlock for the second movie took us in a new location; the third movie will take us to a new location as well."

The Official Plot Synopsis For "Sherlock Holmes 2"

In this months issue of Empire Magazine, it features a behind the scenes looks at this years "Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows". It will give us a detailed synopsis for the sequels plot and a look at all of the films characters.
Sherlock Holmes has always been the smartest man in the room…until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large—Professor Moriarty​—and not only is he Holmes’ intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective. When the Crown Prince of Austria is found dead, the evidence, as construed by Inspector Lestrade​, points to suicide. But Sherlock Holmes deduces that the prince has been the victim of murder—a murder that is only one piece of a larger and much more portentous puzzle, designed by one Professor Moriarty.
Mixing business with pleasure, Holmes tracks the clues to an underground gentlemen’s club, where he and his brother, Mycroft Holmes​ are toasting Dr. Watson​ on his last night of bachelorhood. It is there that Holmes encounters Sim, a Gypsy fortune teller, who sees more than she is telling and whose unwitting involvement in the prince’s murder makes her the killer’s next target. Holmes barely manages to save her life and, in return, she reluctantly agrees to help him. The investigation becomes ever more dangerous as it leads Holmes, Watson and Sim across the continent, from England to France to Germany and finally to Switzerland. But the cunning Moriarty is always one step ahead as he spins a web of death and destruction—all part of a greater plan that, if he succeeds, will change the course of history.

Even before the release of the first "Sherlock Holmes" film, there was already talk of a sequel, but when it was released, the talk of a sequel died down and now it's basic rumors that are left for the sequel. But now the star of the movie, Robert "Iron Man" Downey Jr, officially confirmed that he's back for the role and that he will be back in London this Autumn, where filming will start on the highly-anicipated sequel to the 2009 Guy Richie box-office smash hit. Downey Hr confirmed this whilst being interviewed by Jonathan Ross on friday night on his chat show, but Downey Jr was being interviewed via satalite in LA.
It's also been confirmed by the producers of the first and new film, that all the cast from the first one will return. Downey Jr (Obviously), Law and McAdams. Yes! No typecast. Thank God.....hate when that happens in films.
I'm really excited about the film, I loved the first one and I love the fact that the villain will be Professor Moriarty. Sweet! Now there were and still are rumors circulating saying that the Moriarty charcter is to be played by Brad Pitt. No one knows if that's true or false yet, well, not until Guy Richie or even Brad Pitt confirm it themselves.
Guy Richie started work on "Sherlock 2" on March 21st 2010, he's meant to be half-way through the script, so hears hoping that they get the film out for possibly Summer next year then.
