Comic book scribe-turned-screenwriter James Robinson will script Holmes and Watson for New Line Cinema. The project will be based on a pitch from Darkness Falls producers William Sherak and Jason Shuman. The project is described as an action-adventure film. Holmes and Watson reportedly revolves "around the descendants of the legendary sleuth and his sidekick Dr. Watson and will be set in modern-day London. The heir to the Holmes legacy will be portrayed as a twentysomething playboy who uses his talents mainly to pick up girls – until he is unwittingly drawn back into the family detective business by a young, sexy Dr. Jane Watson. Combining their respective skills as their great-great-grandfathers had, the two investigators find themselves in grave danger as they unravel a complex mystery involving the murder of Watson's best friend." James Robinson is no stranger to scripting Victorian-era films. He penned the screenplay adaptation for this summer's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. What do you think of the pitch for Holmes and Watson? Does it sound cool or like another lame Hollywood "re-imagining"?

It's the story of Christ, but updated to the modern day. It's true to the original story of Jesus Christ, but instead of being the son of god sent to earth to redeem humanity, he's... get this... a cloned super-cop from the future sent to bring justice to a world on the brink of chaos! It'll be like, instead of having eternal love and forgiveness to offer, he'll have futuristic laser weapons and a robotic companion named Mare-E! And wait’ll you see his sexy new bikini clad 12 Apostles… Tiffani, Bethany, Candy, Bambi, Lindy-Sue, Jennifer, and six more named Tiffani! Jesus will be pitted in battle against the evil forces of the mighty Robot Lord Judas-Tron in a fight to save the universe! It's completely in the spirit of the original legend of Christ, of course. In cinemas summer 2004.
