In recent years, we've seen some epic battles between Hollywood films that are released close to one another and have the same basic premise: Deep Impact vs. Armageddon, Dante's Peak vs. Volcano, The Illusionist vs. The Prestige. But viewers better brace themselves, because another feud is brewing and this one promises to be...murder.
That's right, in the past week, news has leaked that there are two films being made about Sherlock Holmes. In one corner, you have Guy Ritchie directing Sherlock Holmes, with Robert Downey Jr. signed on to play the titular character (Read here). In the other corner, you have the presumably more comedic take on the famous detective with Sasha Baron Cohen (Borat) playing the sleuth and Will Ferrell playing his assitant, Watson (Read here)
The earliest either film will come out is 2010, so that leaves us plenty of time to speculate on their potential success. So I'll leave up to you movie gumshoes...based on the clues thus far, which movie will prevail and which will perish in the Mystery of the Two Holmes?
