| New Sherlock Holmes Russian-style |
[21 May 2012|06:17am] |
Hi, people!
If you are interested with new New Russian Sherlock Holmes will look like, and don't worry about the videos on Russian language, I can offer three TV reports - exactly, 1st and 2nd in two versions, in the short and the long - about filming the series in Petersburg now. You can see the actors (Igor Petrenko as Holmes - with a beard / Mikhail Boyarsky as Lestrade, Director of Scotland-Yard), the locations (a la London - filmed in Petersburg), film director Andrey Kavun:
Here is 1st report:

Here is 2nd, the short report:
http://rutv.ru/brand/show/episode/127505
Here is 3rd, the long one:

-- see the plot after 4.00...
All in Russian.
As I understand from the TV reports and interviews, they are doing very free "fantasies" based on the canon. Really, they mean The Sign of Four, The Red-Headed League etc. Yet some details: Sherlock Holmes noticeably younger than Dr. Watson, so an idea of young Watson is lost. Watson sometimes carries an Afghan scarf, and Lestrade is not just Inspector, but (!) Director of the Scotland-Yard.
Plus as a bonus, the article (in English) from the Radio Voice of Russia is:

Director Andrei Kavun has ended filming “Sherlock Holms”, a 16-part serial detective film. After editing, it will be screed in 2013.
Andrei Kavun started making his “Sherlock Holmes” in the autumn of 2011 when “Holmes-mania” spread across the world. An action film “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows” by Guy Ritchie was screened in many countries. Meanwhile, the European audience actively discussed another British movie series – “Sherlock Holmes” where Benedict Cumberbatch played the main character. The American CBS channel presented its version of the story of the famous detective and his friend doctor Watson but in this case, Holmes’ role was played by an actress.

| Musings on "The Reichenbach Fall" |

I'm not sure if it's all right to post fan theories here; if not, I'll happily remove this.
I've done some speculation on "The Reichenbach Fall," and I thought I'd share it. It mostly centers on what I think some of the symbolism in the episode might have meant. If anyone is interested, it's located here.

| Mary Watson's death? |

Lurker de-lurking with a query!
Rereading canon I started idly trying to place events on a timeline (it's been done of course, but it was fun), among them Mary's death. I wondered if there is a sort of common consensus as to when she died?
I figured she probably died in 1891 or 92 (because Watson says that Holmes had "somehow" learned of his bereavement, which means Watson couldn't have been wearing mourning or partial mourning in early 1894, so she probably died more than a year ago). But that's all conjecture. Can you experts help? :D

| How Game of Shadows Should Have Ended |
[16 Feb 2012|07:02pm] |
The creators of HISHE came up with an alternative (and more realistic and more AWESOME) way of how Game of Shadows should have ended. As a warning, there is a bit of Holmes whumpage at the end, but the satire leading up to it is definitely worth it. Enjoy!

| A Study in Madness: Chapter 1 |
[15 Apr 2012|06:08pm] |
Title: A Study in Madness Rating: PG-13 Characters: Sherlock and John Warning(s): AU story, pre-established romantic relationship between Sherlock and John, bit of violence Notes: Lots of relationship insights in this chapter, so the previously established romance between them is much more evident. Summary: Sherlock is called in by Lestrade to investigate some strange happenings at the burned-down Rutledge Asylum, when he and John get transported into the world of American McGee's Wonderland, with a few special treats in store from the detective's past. In this chapter, they first arrive in Wonderland and begin making their way to the Fortress of Doors and the school inside.

(Every adventure requires a first step; trite but true, even here.)

A.N.: I am so, so sorry that this chapter is being posted late. It’s still Monday, so hopefully you can forgive me for it… I won’t bore you with the reasons for the delay, but coming back online to find such lovely responses to chapter seven has made a mostly horrid week a great deal better.
On that note, thank you so much for all the wonderful comments I’ve been left! Haha, I imagine I should be getting my head around the fact that some of you are genuinely enjoying this by now, but no – I still get all giddy and can’t quite believe it. So thank you very much!
As always, I need to offer a massive thank you to ![[info]](../../img/userinfo.gif?v=90.5) interjection, patchsassy, infinityuphigh and ![[info]](../../img/userinfo.gif?v=90) velveteenkitten, who are still being so very kind as to work with me on this lunacy. Their patience is boundless, and I still can’t quite believe that such brilliant (in every sense of the word) betas are willing to spend so much time on my scribbles. Thank you!
