What did you think of the film? At the end, I wondered in what year the action had taken place. In the novels, Enola was born in 1874. She was therefore sixteen in 1890. But, in the film, we see the date 1884 associated with a drawing illustrating her birth. In this case, she was sixteen in 1900. Further on, we discover an illustration, inspired by Paget's, when she presents her brother Sherlock. We recognize the image of the Solitary Cyclist, the original of which was not published until January ... 1904. This does not make all the characters younger, especially Madame Holmes. But, see what is here: 1884! And we can even specify June 17 after checking the calendar for 1884. Thus, Enola would have been born in 1868. But here's something that changes everything: Technical Advisor for Legendary Pictures's "Enola Holmes," the noted Sherlockian Leslie S Klinger states: "Many have misread the context of the date at the beginning. The film clearly TAKES PLACE in 1884, when Sherlock is 30 and Enola is 16. The Reform Bill--a very real and important piece of legislation--was enacted in 1884 and of course it is critical to the plot. There is nothing in the script that contradicts the Canonical evidence. Holmes in fact DOES mention his sister, in "The Copper Beeches," but we learn nothing of her. While it's unlikely that Mycroft gained in stature between 1884 and 1889-90 (when we first see him in "The Greek Interpreter"), no one seems to have been bothered by Christopher Lee or Mark Gatiss playing Mycroft (in "The Private Life of SH" and the BBC's "Sherlock," respectively)." Wait, wait, wait ... A sister in COPP? This is what Sherlock Holmes says in COPP: "I confess that it is not the situation which I should like to see a sister of mine apply for." "And yet he would always wind up by muttering that no sister of his should ever have accepted such a situation." My dear Klinger, it is a "mention". Oui, oui, oui... 😃

Basil Rathbone, Peter Cushing, Jeremy Brett, Benedict Cumberbatch, Douglas Wilmer, Ronald Howard, Michael Caine, Christopher Plummer, Roger Moore, Robert Stephens, John Neville, Vassili Livanov, Yūko Takeuchi, ...?

Sherlock Holmes has been portrayed by a lot of actors including Robert Downey Jr., Benedict Cumberbatch, Henry Cavill, and of course Johnny Lee Miller. In this video, CinemaBlend’s Sean O’Connell, Mike Reyes, Dirk Libbey and Mack Rawden debate who the best Sherlock Holmes actor is.

28th July 2020 - Sherlock creators Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss have shared the names of a number of actors they’d like to see play a female Sherlock Holmes. The topic was brought up during a livestream chat to mark 10 years of the duo’s Benedict Cumberbatch-fronted BBC One series. As they answered fan questions, the idea for a gender-flipped Sherlock came up and the pair then deliberated over who they would like to cast. “There’s quite a few. I quite like the idea of Michelle Gomez.” said Moffat, before Gatiss suggested Fleabag‘s Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Olivia Colman was another name brought up by Moffat, while his wife and TV producer Sue Vertue suggested Killing Eve‘s Jodie Comer. Moffat then discussed why it would be easy to cast Sherlock as a woman, without really having to change anything about the character at all. “I think we could sit here [and] generate quite a lot of names of female Sherlock Holmes,” he said. “I think that part would go female very easily. I don’t think you have to do anything. Change the pronouns and you don’t even have to change the name. Sherlock Holmes could be a woman quite easily.” Moving onto the subject of a female Watson, Moffat said this is where he has the most trouble, admitting that he finds it “slightly harder” to think of someone to fit that kind of performance. “You know what I get stuck on?” he said. “Who is John Watson as a woman?” Gatiss added: “It just depends entirely. It would just be a different direction, a different feel to it.” In Elementary, the US adaptation of Sherlock Holmes that sees Jonny Lee Miller play the great detective, Watson is played by Lucy Liu.
