Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role as the worldís most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, and Jude Law returns as his friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Filmmaker Guy Ritchie returns to direct the follow-up to the smash hit Sherlock Holmes. The sequel also reunited producers Joel Silver, Lionel Wigram, Susan Downey and Dan Lin. Bruce Berman and Steve Clark-Hall served as executive producers.
In her first English-speaking role, Swedish actress Noomi Rapace, who gained international attention in the Swedish film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, plays a mysterious Gypsy named Sim, who becomes allied with Holmes and Watson in their quest to stop Moriarty. Jared Harris (TVís Mad Men, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) joins the cast as the notorious Professor Moriarty. Stephen Fry (Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) plays Mycroft Holmes, Sherlockís decidedly eccentric older brother. Returning from the first film, the cast also includes Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler; Kelly Reilly as Watsonís bride, Mary Morstan; Eddie Marsan as Inspector Lestrade; and Geraldine James as Holmesís long-suffering landlady, Mrs. Hudson.
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows was written by Michele Mulroney & Kieran Mulroney. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were created by the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and appear in stories and novels by him. Ritchie once again collaborated with the behind-the-scenes team from the first movie, including director of photography Philippe Rousselot, production designer Sarah Greenwood, editor James Herbert, costume designer Jenny Beavan, and composer Hans Zimmer.
