Downey Gives Sherlock Holmes Action Update With Handcuffed Bed Scene
LAS VEGAS — Leave it to Robert Downey Jr. to turn Sherlock Holmes into a wisecracking action hero who ends up handcuffed naked to a bed.
Downey has offered a sneak peek of "Sherlock Holmes," his new take on the cerebral detective from the mystery tales of Arthur Conan Doyle.
Theater owners attending their annual ShoWest convention have got to see Downey's Holmes in a bruising boxing match, diving from a tall building into London's Thames River and trading barbs with Dr. Watson, played by Jude Law. Holmes also finds himself cuffed by both hands to a bed in one scene.
The Warner Bros. film is directed by Guy Ritchie and hits theaters on Christmas Day.

Oh, right.

I'm sorry, did someone say something? I seem to have retired to my happy place.
Who cuffs him? I need to finish up the mental imagery.

No, don't ask. This way, I can cling to my own personal version.
But suppose Jude had to chain him up for his own good? Wait--who's playing the antagonist?
I keep thinking it might be Irene Adler if he's naked, not that that's in any way canonical, but I also have no idea what the plot is, so.
I suspect that Canonical is a character not in this movie.
You know, Watson may have had to chain him up to detox him from his addiction.
