The folks over at JoBlo.com have gotten official word that the sequel to 2009's surprise smash hit Sherlock Holmes has a confirmed release date of December 16, 2011, exactly two years after the first film (making this the second film franchise for Downey Jr. to do so, after Iron Man 2 opened two years after its predecessor). However, change is afoot; Downey Jr. and Law are back for sure, but Rachel McAdams, despite being "present," won't be the leading lady. As much as I like Ms. McAdams, she was my one gripe casting-wise in regards to the first film; she appeared to be way in over her head. Hopefully the new leading lady will be A) more age appropriate, and B) be able to carry a better repartee with Downey Jr. Perhaps his Iron Man co-star, Gwyneth Paltrow?
