New Ripper movie?

[DJA]

Has anyone else heard about the new Ripper movie? I'm told it's the second one in the Sherlock Holmes series.................

Turns out to be Sherlock Gnomes

Sand blaster....Lol :-)

Yes, Johnny's face looks as if a sand blaster has been at work smoothing his face. It's not an improvement. I remember when Paul Hogan had the sandblaster treatment years ago. All the character lines that made him 'Hoges' had just disappeared overnight.

Bad wasn't it?

Rosella,

I suspect JD may have already visited one :-)

Best regards.

Is that Johnny Depp who would be visiting a plastic surgeon, or Jack? Actually, although I've always liked Johnny as an actor, his face has started to look suspiciously different of late!

If I were to create a Ripper movie, I'd focus more on the characters involved: the policemen, the victims, and the witnesses of the case, rather than the killer himself. In fact, I'd leave the killer's identity a secret but perhaps throw in a chase-scene where the main character is agonizingly close to catching him but fails.

Otherwise it's a bit like a suspect book, and we know about those.

Indeed, or a trip to a plastic surgeon!

Best regards.

Yep, several of us, I'd say most, did note that the clip was made by a fan of a non-existent movie (at this time) and said so in our posts.

I'd still like to see Downie tackling Jack the Ripper. Perhaps they could get Johnny Depp to play Jack. Even better.

Wouldn't that be weird? Johnny played Abberline in From Hell.

But if so, I hope it will be a Tim Burton film.

Given Holmes' estimated year of birth in 1854, he would have been 34 at the time of the JTR murders. Downie is 51, a bit too old for a Holmes role as far as I'm concerned. Then again, a thick coat of make-up could solve the problem.

Hasn't anyone noticed that the trailer is made of a series of short 1 second cuts from the first two SH movies? A fake trailer, if I may say so, Watson!

Then perhaps you might like to check out Murder By Decree with Christopher Plummer as Holmes.

Will do.

Or even 'A Study in Terror' from 1965 which has quite the sexiest Mary Kelly.

Not even Heather Graham?
