Brad Pitt will play evil guy in new Sherlock Holmes
When you’re making a movie about Sherlock Holmes, it seems elementary to include the detective’s arch enemy – unless you are Guy Ritchie, of course.
Madonna’s ex-hubby got in a right pickle with movie execs when they clapped eyes on the rough cut of his latest film… and felt like re-titling it the Mystery of the Missing Moriarty.
They ordered the director to reinstate the great Holmes’ evil nemesis, pronto.
But what could have been a huge disaster for Guy, 40, has actually turned out incredibly well – his film now boasts Brad Pitt!
Desperate for help, Guy phoned his old mucker Brad, who had starred in his gangster flick Snatch. Fortunately, Brad, 45, had a couple of days free in his busy schedule to pop over to Blighty to play the evil criminal mastermind.
Anxious studio execs have already put the film’s release date back until after Christmas. Now they are just praying Brad will be available long enough to shoot all his scenes in one run, to avoid any further delays.
Filming with Brad is due to start this week in London and on location at Cliveden House – the venue beside the Thames at Berkshire is the backdrop for Moriarty’s home.
