Our beloved detective is back on the big screen. But don’t
expect a muscular hunk because this time, we will see an old version of
Sherlock Holmes in action. Based on Mitch Cullin’s 2005 “A Slight Trick of the
Mind,” Mr. Holmes is about the
detective’s attempt to right some mistakes in his early life.
The film is set in 1947. Sherlock Holmes, age 93, retires in
his farmhouse in Sussex with his housekeeper Mrs. Munro and her young son
Roger. The detective now tends to his bees and writes in his journal, especially
about some fateful events during his visit to Japan. With Roger’s help,
Sherlock will revisit the unsolved case that forced him into retirement while
searching answers about love and life before it’s too late.
Ian McKellen stars as Sherlock Holmes. Along with him in the
cast are Colin Starkey, Laura Linney, Hattie Morahan, Hiroyoki Sanada and Milo Parker
as Roger Munro. Directed by Bill Condon, Mr.
Holmes will be released on June 19, 2015.
