Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows premiered today in the US while Philippines will experience the action mystery film as 2012 opens.  While waiting, here are the last posters release for the film and a special content trailer featuring the film's stars, Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law and the director Guy Ritchie.

Sherlock Holmes has always been the smartest man in the room…until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large—Professor James Moriarty (Jared Harris)—and not only is he Holmes’ intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may give him an advantage over the renowned detective.

Around the globe, headlines break the news: a scandal takes down an Indian cotton tycoon; a Chinese opium trader dies of an apparent overdose; bombings in Strasbourg and Vienna; the death of an American steel magnate… No one sees the connective thread between these seemingly random events—no one, that is, except the great Sherlock Holmes, who has discerned a deliberate web of death and destruction. At its center sits a singularly sinister spider: Moriarty.

Holmes’ investigation into Moriarty’s plot becomes more dangerous as it leads him and Watson out of London to France, Germany and finally Switzerland. But the cunning Moriarty is always one step ahead, and moving perilously close to completing his ominous plan. If he succeeds, it will not only bring him immense wealth and power but alter the course of history.

Coming back in the cast are Rachel McAdams as irene Adler; Kelly Reilly as Watson’s bride, Mary Morstan; Eddie Marsan as Inspector Lestrade; and Geraldine James as Holmes’s landlady, Mrs. Hudson.  Joining these immense entourage of actors are Jared Harris as the nefarious Professor James Moriarty, Stephen Fry as Sherlock's Brother Mycroft Holmes and Noomi Rapace as the gypsy Simza.


Starring Jude Law as Doctor John Watson and Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows opens today in United States and on January 8 2012 in Philippine cinemas. Directed by Guy Ritchie, to be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
