Are you excited about Guy Ritchie’s Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr?
LEAH MOORE: I will be interested to see what they do with it certainly. They are filming parts of it here in Liverpool, making use of the cobbled streets and grand terraces in the Georgian Quarter. I think most films set in Victorian London end up with bits of Liverpool in them, that or Prague. Hopefully we’ll remember to go and see it when it comes out. We are terrible at saying we’ll go see something, and then it’s finished before we get the chance. BF: Holmes, and his creator are almost as interesting as each other. Was there anything that surprised you in your research? JR: We’ve resisted the urge to delve into Conan Doyle’s life too much because I think it can colour they way you handle a character. The world of Holmes is so rich already that we didn’t want to cram our heads any fuller anyway. He was an interesting man though, very interested in spiritualism, psychic powers and of course he believed in fairies. BF: Do you think Holmes can still resonate with today’s post-modern au
