Brad Pitt to play Drew McWeeny in SHERLOCK HOLMES 2?

Hey folks, Harry here and the world is going completely screwy. Drew has got to be so pissed off that he's not Moriarty anymore! What a maroon! Man had the chance to wander the Earth bragging that Brad Pitt was playing him in a real live movie, and he goes and takes up the alias, Drew McWeeny! Now - I've heard whispers of additional shooting going on with SHERLOCK HOLMES and my curiousity in this early announcement from Warner Brothers is this... Was the additional shoots regarding a bridge to the next film? Or just enhancing a bit of the film here and there?

SHERLOCK HOLMES is one of the movies that I'm literally freaking out in anticipation of. I loved the script - the casting and I think with this cast and script, Guy Ritchie's style will perfectly complement it all. I think it is an interesting notion... a modern SHERLOCK HOLMES series of new stories featuring the tried and true characters. Attempting to forge its own iconography by shucking off the past conventions with the character.

Very curious on this one. Very curious.
