More a fan of the newest film version of Sherlock Holmes than any other recent adaptation of the character? Like the modern feel he had been given thanks to director Guy Ritchie?
Well, it’s time to bring him to the small screen. Deadline is reporting that CBS has nabbed up the rights to Sherlock Holmes, which will be a modern day take on the “cases of the pipe-smoking private eye.”
As the film franchise continues to grow, as well as the new BBC series continues to build a strong fanbase, the world seems to be clamoring for more and more Sherlock, and it looks like they will be getting just that. Personally, I’m a huge fan of the character, and think that given the right team and cast, this could be a really fantastic series. I’m a huge fan of shows like, say, Criminal Minds, a fellow CBS show, and something that I think is bred kind of out of the Sherlock model.
It will be interesting to see what they do with the real thing.
