The Big Picture Despite all appearances, BBC’s Sherlock may not be over quite yet. Deadline reported co-creator Mark Gatiss’ intention to continue the series in a different form. Adapted from the famous books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock takes a modern spin on the well-known tale. Setting its title character in present-day London, the series cleverly updates the source material. It was also instrumental in putting Benedict Cumberbatch on the map for a global audience.
“We’d like to make a film but trying to get everyone together is very difficult,” Gatiss admitted at the Oliver Awards. According to Deadline, this isn’t the first time they raised the idea of a movie. Following the series’ official conclusion in 2017, the Sherlock team felt it was “the natural thing to do.” But the double-edged sword of Sherlock’s success was the opportunities that followed for its actors after.
And then there is the small matter concerning the story. Sherlock Holmes has many stories to pull from, but perhaps not with the luster it once had. For some, the best years of Sherlock are behind them. The BBC series already adapted the most famous stories of the series in the Season 2 finale, "The Reichenbach Fall." After Sherlock’s return from the dead, is there much more to be done? Short of resurrecting Scott as Moriarty, a Sherlock film may not have a significant draw.
