Warning, Mr. Law: Holmes is messy, takes drugs, and plays the violin. He’s not great roommate material.
Variety reports today that Jude Law is in negotiations to join the cast of the Guy Ritchie directed Sherlock Holmes movie. Law would play Watson to Robert Downey Jr.’s Sherlock Holmes.

Jude Law in Talks to Play Guy Ritchie’s Dr. Watson
Film Junk —
... . Variety reports that Jude Law is the man who will likely play Sherlock Holmes’ sidekick Dr. John H. Watson, as he is currently in final negotiations for the part. Well, at least one of the stars will be British, right? I like Jude Law, but I have to wonder if he would have made a better Holmes.

What? You don’t see the resemblance?
Variety is reporting that Jude Law is “expected to close a deal shortly to play Watson” in Guy Ritchie’s upcoming “reinvention” of the famous Arthur Conan Doyle character - following erroneous reports that Russell Crowe was in line for the part. As for the role of the villain, Blackwood? Still open… Hey, I’m just saying…
