Through the Lens

Through the lens is where we preview the most exciting looking movies coming out in the future.

First this week we have Nottingham due for release in late 2009. Ridley Scott teams up with Russell Crowe again in this surreally-set Robin Hood flick. With Crowe playing the parts of both the Sherriff of Nottingham and Robin Hood who are both entangled in a love triangle plot with Sienna Miller's Maid Marion.

Although sounding very surreal at present I cannot wait to go and see this to see how Scott has managed to piece it together.


Finally in through the lens we have Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, also due for release in late 2009. With Robert Downey Jr. playing the role of Holmes and Jude Law as sidekick Dr. Watson, this movie delivers huge potential. However it has yet to be seen if Guy Ritchie can deliver a film not revolving around mobsters. On the other hand Ritchie seems to gain a lot of influence from London and I have a feeling that the city is going to play a large role in Sherlock Holmes.
