Ian McKellen to play Sherlock Holmes

It has been announced today that Ian McKellen (Lord of the Rings Trilogy, X-Men movies) will be playing Sherlock Holmes in Bill Condon's adaptation of "A Slight Trick of the Mind" by Mitch Cullin.

McKellen is an actor with an amazing ability to disappear into his roles, whether heroic or villainous in nature. I enjoyed his turn as the Master of Magnetism in the X-Men movies and that is one of the main reasons, I am looking forward to the upcoming Bryan Singer movie, X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Equally great was his performance as Gandalf the Grey/White in the Lord of the Rings movies.

This is one of the best casting choices for the legendary detective and I am very excited to see McKellen's take on the iconic character.

CBS Elementary - Season 2 Teaser Trailer

Dear Readers,

The trailer for Season 2 of CBS Elementary has arrived.

Correct me if I am wrong, but most of the clips appear to be from Season 1. Except for the scenes featuring a man being chased by Miller and thereafter being stopped by Liu's Watson and the bomb blast, I have seen all the remaining ones in the first season.

We do not get our first look at Sean Pertwee's Gareth Lestrade or Rhys Ifans' Mycroft Holmes. Well, the season premiere is less than a month away.
