As for what Holmes & Watson is about, the trailer lays out that Queen Victoria, played by Pam Ferris, is being targeted, and it’s up to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson to solve a case in four days, otherwise her Royal Highness will be murdered.
Holmes & Watson’s cast also includes Rob Brydon as Inspector Lestrade, Kelly McDonald as Rose Hudson and Lauren Lapkus as Millie.
Simultaneously spoofing the Sherlock Holmes mythology and bringing the ridiculous, slapstick comedy we expect from Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, Holmes & Watson will be out there for those wanting to end their 2018 movie year on a lighter note.
None other than Sherlock’s greatest enemy, Dr. James Moriarty, portrayed by Ralph Fiennes.
