Sherlockfinally the movie?
Mark Gatiss, co-creator and actor of the great British series Sherlockwith Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as Dr. John Watson, he had indicated daily The Guardian in July 2023: sequel to his series created with Steven Moffat by a feature film would be “the natural thing to do“.
Broadcast from 2010 to 2017, consisting of four seasons of three episodes each and two special episodes, the BBC series Sherlock was a huge success, brilliantly and modernly adapting Conan Doyle’s work with contemporary codes. In particular, it allowed Benedict Cumberbatch, until then confined to small roles, to become an international star and to conquer a Emmy Award for Best Actor in 2014. It also highlights Martin Freeman and Andrew Scott, the star of Bag of fleas also distinguishing himself in the role of Sherlock Holmes’ sworn enemy, Jim Moriarty.
In a film industry that favors productions coming from already consolidated universes – thus saving the expensive effort of marketing an “original” work – it is almost an anomaly that the series Sherlock he has not yet tried his luck in the long format and on the big screen.
“We would like to make a film but…”
Asked by Expiration about this potential film Sherlock, on the occasion of the 2024 Olivier Awards ceremony in London, Mark Gatiss reiterated his desire to return to the world of Sherlock Holmes. And he stated that a future film was always in mind.
You have to ask Benedict (Cumberbatch) and Martin (Freeman)! (laughs). We would like to make a film but getting everyone together is very difficult so… We’ll see!
Last July Mark Gatiss expressed the fact that a film was very difficult to make, whatever it was. Because if his casting has no popularity problems and would be able to attract a large audience just thanks to his name, it is precisely in relation to the availability of its stars that things can get complicated. That’s why he suggests that Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch are extremely important in the potential production of a film Sherlock. Furthermore, in July 2023, Mark Gatiss also reported the time needed to develop a film, without any guarantee of success.
It’s incredibly difficult to convince people to make films. I remember talking to Edgar Wright about “Ant-Man,” to which he dedicated eight years of his life without it getting made. Eight years is almost a decade. Add a little more of the same genre, you died and made four films…
