If you could pick any current actors to play Holmes and Watson - Who would they be ? Do you find this valuable?

I would choose Sean Connery for Watson. No idea who I would choose for Holmes though - he is a special character.

There isn't much people to play Holmes in this century....

EveBakerStreet, who would you choose as Watson? Or Holmes? Or both?

I think the English actor Kenneth Brannagh might make a decent Watson, and I'm thinking a young Anthony Hopkins or even Orlando Bloom at a push - lots of people really. Ian Hart deserves a mention, he's played Watson twice and made a good job of it in my opinion. As for Holmes well the only person I can think of who's anywhere near looking like him is Richard E Grant who was in one of the Baskervilles. As for a Hollywood A-lister well I can't think of anyone who could look like Holmes. I'm really please Robert Downey Junior was picked for the new film though. I like him a lot and I think he certainly creates an impact on screen whatever he is in. Do you find this valuable?

Orlando Bloom...interesting choice! I like the idea of Richard E. Grant for Holmes.

And I was shocked when I heard that RDJ was playing Holmes. That was an interesting choice! But still...I think he will be a good Holmes!

I don't know why I said Orlando Bloom ! But, well ... it could work!!! Daniel Craig could make a good Colonel Sebastian Moran when he's finished his stint as James Bond. Do you find this valuable?

"HAHA.....good question!"
I think among the nowadays actors , "Rupert Everett" was the most potential. As a matter of fact I wish he could play the Sherlock Holmes 2009

"Yes, he was great."
So why they didn't use him in other movies after that ?
