Does anyone know if the rumours about Nicholas Rowe starring in a new Sherlock Holmes movie are true?

Question

I have read on IMDB that Nicholas Rowe who starred in Young Sherlock Holmes in the 80's will be starring as Sherlock Holmes in a new updated version to be released in 2008. Some people say this was a hoax, and some say it is true, but I can not find any information about it, does anyone know?

Answer 1

.....though I could not find anything online, reflecting his return to the character, I would most welcome actor Nicholas Rowe, once again assuming the role of Sherlock Holmes, whether based upon the old Holmes stories or films, or a brand-new, untold story, as was "Young Sherlock Holmes" (1985....Good Grief!!! Has it been THAT long ago???).

As he has gotten older, Nicholas appears to have ironically assumed the same gaunt, dead-stone serious look about his face, not unlike that of a young Basil Rathbone, or Peter Cushing; I believe that he could most easily slide back into the role.

Answer 2

yea he did.
