Old man Sherlock will be “tending to his bees” when Ian McKellen starer “Mr. Holmes” releases in cinemas on July 17.
Okay, so in the film he also “revisits the circumstances of the unsolved case that forced him into retirement” and “searches for answers to the mysteries of life and love”, but all in a day’s work for Mr. Holmes, right?!
The film is directed by Bill Condon and co-stars Laura Linney and Milo Parker.
Producers are Anne Carey, Iain Canning and Emile Sherman.
MR HOLMES is a new twist on the world’s most famous detective. 1947, an aging Sherlock Holmes returns from a journey to Japan, where, in search of a rare plant with powerful restorative qualities, he has witnessed the devastation of nuclear warfare. Now, in his remote seaside farmhouse, Holmes faces the end of his days tending to his bees, with only the company of his housekeeper and her young son, Roger. Grappling with the diminishing powers of his mind, Holmes comes to rely upon the boy as he revisits the circumstances of the unsolved case that forced him into retirement, and searches for answers to the mysteries of life and love – before it’s too late.
