On Boxing Day 2009 the latest in a long line of Sherlock Holmes Movies will be released in the United Kingdom
The movie is certainly non-canonical and based on trailers and internet gossip it won't portray Holmes and Watson in the traditional way. Despite, or perhaps because of this, the Sherlock Holmes Society of London welcomes the movie and is sure a significant number of members will be amongst those heading to the cinema during the Christmas holidays to see the movie.
If you're interested in finding out more about Sherlock Holmes then please take the time to have a look around the website where you'll find out more about the world of Sherlock Holmes and the Sherlock Holmes Society of London.
