(ANI):
British
director
Guy
Ritchie
has
signed
on
to
write
and
helm
a
reimagining
of
super
sleuth
Sherlock
Holmes
for
Warner
Bros.
The
pic
is
being
produced
by
Lionel
Wigram
and
Dan
Lin,
and
will
give
a
new
take
on
Holmes.
According
to
the
Hollywood
Reporter,
Ritchie's
super
sleuth
will
be
'more
adventuresome
and
less
stuffy'
than
previous
screen
versions.
Warner
Bros
has
been
developing
a
Holmes
for
some
time
now.
At
one
point,
it
had
roped
in
Neil
Marshall
to
direct
and
Michael
Johnson
to
pen
the
script.
Ritchie
will
rewrite
and
polish
Johnson's
script.
This
will
be
the
second
time
that
Ritchie
works
for
Warner
Bros.
He
recently
completed
the
upcoming
crime
caper
"RocknRolla" which
is
due
to
hit
theatres
in
October
this
year.
