Idk if this thread is just for the TV show or all things Holmes but is anyone going to get the new Sherlock game The Testament of Sherlock Holmes? I know I have posted this in a few places but I forgot there was a Sherlock thread:p
Her name appears in its usual gray to me now. Very curious, Watson. Perhaps she was hired by Telltale then summarily dismissed within the course of a few hours.
Still, those first four minutes felt like Psych+Monk+House and I presume that will be the recipe for the entire series. As meh as that is, it also means Moffat has nothing to complain about. CBS explicitly doesn't WANT the parts of Moffat's Sherlock that make it a special series, and Moffat doesn't "own" Sherlock Holmes. Whether there might be other things that could still make the CBS series special remains to be seen.
It's also pretty weird to be worrying about other adaptations when Sherlock Holmes is in the public domain in the UK (and arguably in the US as well as long as you don't base your adaptation on the one book that's still in copyright there). Freedom to make your own adaptation is just what the public domain is for.

That means I can make an adaptation legally if I wanted?
I saw a black and white Sherlock movie. The Voice of Terror it was really good.
Y'see, I think that's a fun movie as well, even though it's got one massive plot hole in it (HOW did Holmes know about the baddie's big secret anyway?!) but it's generally considered one of the 'bad' Rathbone/Bruce efforts (alongside "Sherlock Holmes in Washington", whcih I also like) compared to the 'good' ones, such as that tedious thing where they go to Canada.
Incidentally, if anybody can find it by googling, the audio of Rathbone and Bruce swopping roles for a radio comedy show is very much worth hearing!
She might not be the first character in a Sherlock Holmes story named Watson, but she is the first Watson. The rest of those were other people named Watson (a descendant of Watson who is assistant to Sherlock Holmes after he was unthawed after being cryogenically frozen for 80 years, a doctor who happens to be named Watson who treats a psychiatric patient who believes he's Sherlock Holmes, and another doctor named Watson who is treating a cop who thinks he's Sherlock Holmes after suffering a concussion). As far as I know, Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu are meant to be the Holmes and Watson (just as Starbuck is meant to be the Starbuck in the reimagining of Battlestar Galactica, despite being a woman when the original was a man).
Did anybody catch "The Hound of the Baskervilles" on Radio 4 a few weeks ago. A spoof by a theatre group called Peepolykus, it starred the world's first Spanish actor to play the Great Detective....
.... but it looks like the second may be hot on his heels!
We already know the first is to be The Empty House. Any guesses as to the next two?
It's now been announced;
Rat, Wedding, Bow
Wedding'll clearly cover Watson's Wedding, and Bow would be His Last Bow (Sherlock Holmes' final case).
Also announced was they were shooting to broadcast in Summer 2013. (I have a feeling it may be pushed back even further now that Martin Freeman'll be going back to film The Hobbit 3: The Search for More Money early next year).
Rat. “The Giant Rat of Sumatra”;“The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire”;”The Boscombe Valley Mystery”
Wedding. “The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor."
Bow. “His Last Bow.”
And just to be clear, His Last Bow was followed by The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, so it’s likely that season 4 will be made afterwards.
Ah, but his Last Bow was the last chronologically. It would be interesting to see them do it non-chronologically and go back to adventures set in Series Two or whatnot (possibly just to feature Andrew Scott again!)
According to wiki theres gonna be a Sherlock manga.
That was on bleedingcool.com as well. It strikes me as a bit of an odd thing to adapt... I couldn't quite work out if this was an official thing or not.

Comments
Either Stephen Moffat is still unhappy, or the gossip websites are still stringing out the same interviews.
"Developed primarily for consoles"... if it's not on PC, it's not an option for me.
It will be on PC as well. And it has point and click style or you can swap it to controller movement (and presumably arrow key to move).
Nice. I'm slightly interested, but will wait for reviews/opinions before committing any money to it.

Space Sherlock vs Darth Moriarty here I come!
Oh, and you might want to rethink that whole 'Darth' thing as well. Possibly could be an issue there....
Didn't Asylum already do that?

Not only is there a spin-off book, but what appears to be an easy-reader novelisation -

Also, has the series started airing or was that just in a trailer? I'm actually rather curious to see what it's like in comparison to the British one.
The premiere is 27 September.
We already know the first is to be The Empty House. Any guesses as to the next two?
Maybe one of them is The Sussex Vampire.

Yes, absurd 50th Anniversary Crossover Cobblers STARTS HERE!
(Wot, no Crown Diamond? And I still say they ought to get Raffles on "A Question of Sport").
Wedding. “The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor."
Bow. “His Last Bow.”

"In Japan, a manga adaptation of the series illustrated by Jay will begin serialization in Kadokawa's Young Ace magazine from October 4, 2012.[112]"
That was on bleedingcool.com as well. It strikes me as a bit of an odd thing to adapt... I couldn't quite work out if this was an official thing or not.
After this...
...no adaptation surprises me.
Doesn't seem to be anything there!
Apparently those crazy Japanese will adapt anything.
Inspector Japp got a name change for it.:p
