Sherlock Holmes 3: Is This Thing Even Still a Thing? Jared Harris Has Opinions

So, Jared Harris, bless his heart 🙄, apparently has “no clue” what’s going on with the third Sherlock Holmes movie. Like, ZERO. Zilch. Nada. Is anyone really surprised? 🤔

The dude played James Moriarty back in the day (2009 and 2011, for those who forgot 👴), and now he’s all “no one’s talking to [him]” about the sequel. He’s even trying to scrub his IMDb page clean! 🤣 Someone get this man a clue (or maybe a script)!

When The Direct (who?) dared to ask Harris for an update, he whined: “Yeah. I mean, I keep taking that down [on IMDb] and someone keeps putting it back up. I have no idea.” Oh, the drama! 😭 Maybe he should hire a social media manager. Just a thought 💡.

“No one’s talking to me about it. And I really wish people would stop asking me … It should be on there. I mean, no one’s talking to me about it. I have no clue.” He said it again! Does this guy have any other lines? 🦜

Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr. (aka Iron Man 🦾 in a deerstalker), and Jude Law (Dr. Watson, the sidekick we all secretly love ❤️), was about stopping a villain. Groundbreaking stuff 🤯.

Danger, conspiracy, mysticism… sounds like a rejected Dan Brown novel ✍️. But hey, it made money 💰, so who are we to judge? (Spoiler alert: we’re totally judging 💯).

A whopping $90 million budget? For THAT? Hollywood, you’re killing me! 😂 But hey, it raked in $524 million globally. So, I guess someone got paid. 🤷‍♀️

Then came Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, because sequels are always a good idea… right? 🤪 It made even MORE money ($543.8 million). Cue the studio execs doing the money dance 💃.

A third installment was “greenlit,” whatever that means. Probably just a bunch of suits patting themselves on the back 🤝. But updates? Scarce. Like hen’s teeth 🦷.

Last November, Jude Law (bless his beautiful face 😍) insisted the third movie was still happening. Sure, Jan! 🙄

He told The Playlist (another obscure outlet?): “There’s a great will to make it.” Oh, is there? Maybe they should, like, actually MAKE it then? 🤷‍♂️

“The one great thing I took from both of those films is my friendship with Robert and his wife Susan.” Aww, bromance! 🥰 Maybe they should just make a buddy comedy instead. 👯

“I think there’s a new iteration of the script I haven’t yet read.” Translation: “I haven’t bothered to read it.” 😴

“And then there’s a case of, ‘How expensive is it? And can we get it made?’” Ah, the REAL question. Hollywood, always chasing that dollar 💸.

This third Sherlock Holmes movie has been in development hell since 2011. Rumors of time travel? 🕰️ Seriously? Did someone raid the Doctor Who prop closet? 🤣

Law says the time travel plot is gone. Phew! 😮‍💨 Dodged a bullet there. Though, knowing Hollywood, it’ll probably be replaced with something equally ridiculous. 🤡

Speaking about the time travel plot, Law said: “Gosh, yeah, that’s interesting. The plan has been evolving over how many years it’s been now, probably nearly 10 years.” Ten years? They’ve been “evolving” a plot for TEN YEARS? 💀

Law gushes about his “friendship” with Downey Jr. Okay, we get it, you’re besties! 👬 Maybe that’s why this movie is still a possibility. Nepotism and friendship, the pillars of Hollywood! 🥂

He explained: “Honestly there’s a friendship, but also the experience of working with Robert, and he really does bring an extraordinarily brilliant, fun, motivated, and inspirational kind of quality to a film set, and I miss it being a part of that. It was a great experience.” In other words, “Robert’s fun to work with, and I miss the paycheck.” 🤑
