Set in 1947, Sir Ian McKellen plays a long-retired incarnation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes. Holmes now lives in a sleepy Sussex village with his housekeeper and her amateur-sleuthing son. It's not a peaceful retirement though. The detective is haunted by an unsolved fifty year old case involving an angry husband and his unstable wife, a case of which he only remembers fragments.
Linney will portray Holmes' housekeeper Mrs Munro. Hattie Morahan ("The Bletchley Circle") has also joined the cast.
Linney and Condon previously worked on "Kinsey," "The Fifth Estate" and "The Big C".
Jeffrey Hatcher is writing the adapted script from the novel by author Mitch Cullin.
Anne Carey, Iain Canning, Emile Sherman and Aviv Giladi will produce the movie.
Shooting begins this summer in the UK.
