The director's new movie - based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous
super-sleuth - sees Holmes
engage in a homoerotic relationship with his sidekick Dr. Watson.
Robert Downey Jr. - who plays the crime-busting detective opposite Jude
Law's Doctor Watson - said: "We're two men who happen to be room-mates,
wrestle a lot and share a bed. It's bada**."
The film, to be released in November, follows the pair's efforts in foiling
an underhand plot to destroy Britain - but Jude says the focus is as much on
the couple's personal relationship as the criminal activities.
The British actor said: "Guy wanted to make this about the relationship
between Watson and Holmes. They're both mean and complicated."
Bringing a feminine touch to the film is US actress Rachel McAdams. She
plays femme fatale Irene Adler, who once outwitted Holmes but now needs the
detective's help.
