Sacha Baron Cohen As Sherlock Holmes?? Will Ferrell As John Watson?? Apatow Takes On The Big Brain Of Baker Street!!
|
The Judd Apatow factory is gearing up a new Sony comedy about Sherlock Holmes scripted by Etan Cohen (“Tropic Thunder”).
The untitled project reteams “Talladega Nights” producer Apatow with stars Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell, who assay Holmes and sidekick Watson, respectively.
(You know what's a forgotten and hugely underrated Sherlock Holmes comedy? "Without A Clue," starring Michael Caine as Watson's idiot puppet. Ben Kingsley plays the genius physician who concocted the detective and it may represent the funniest role he's ever played.)
