Comic Con 2009 : Sherlock Holmes (extrait du blog)

The biggest cheers of the morning were saved for Robert Downey Jr, who slinked on stage just as Megan Fox left it. “This is so fun – I love you guys so much,” he grinned at the screaming hordes. He then rapped on the merits of his forthcoming Sherlock Holmes, a monologue punctuated by shrieks, before signalling for the unspooling of an extended trailer.

Joel Silver, Rachel McAdams and Downey Jr.’s producer-wife Susan came out to join the star for a quick panel. “We worked our asses off,” says Downey. “We worked really hard, which is why we’re so proud.” “Robert is so ripped in this film,” giggles McAdams.
