Holmes 2 Set

Guy Ritchie’s 'Sherlock Holmes' doesn't hit theaters until December 25th, but plans are already afoot for a sequel, says the Risky Biz Blog



That film stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and Rachel McAdams all of whom are expected back in the sequel--as is Ritchie.

Michael Robert Johnson, Anthony Peckham, Simon Kinberg, and Lionel Wigram worked on the first film's script which is set in the world created by author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

The sequel will be penned by Kieran and Michele Mulroney, who wrote the film that never came to be Justice League: Mortal.

Brad Pitt has also had discussions with producers to star as Holmes' nemesis Moriarty, but no deal is in place yet. If Pitt does do Holmes 2 this will be the first time he and Ritchie worked together since the great pic “Snatch.

A Moriarty cameo in the first film is scripted and was apparently shot, but according to the script you don't see his face.

Pure speculation on my part...you may hear Pitt's voice...
