I think Sacha Baron Cohen will surprise many with a stellar performance. I look forward to seeing him in the role.

I’m with the general consensus here of looking forward to both, but more to the one with RDJ. I can actually picture him, but I’m having a really hard time picturing SBC, or just comedy in general, associated with Sherlock Holmes.

I think both actors will be wonderful in their respective films, but Ritchie’s version is probably the only one I’ll be seeing, as I’ve never been able to bring myself to care much for Cohen. Downey’s going to be fantastic.

I’m excited about both movies. DowneyJR will be great, as will Sacha Baren Cohen, but who is playing watson in Ritchie’s film?

Guy Ritchie sucks so that ends this debate.

This might have been good before Guy Ritchie turned in his version of the screenplay. The same Guy Ritchie who made Swept Away!

Neither, I wish someone would cast Adrien Brody as Holmes!

I think both actors will bring something good to the Holmes
characters, but I’m looking forward to Ritchie’s version with RDJ
more than the comedy angle.

I hope RDJ doesnt have to pull off an english accent…. It could be/will be a disaster.

Downey will be awesome.

Even thought this will start before th Apatow film…we all know that the Apatow films can be churned out much faster than a Ritchie film. So who knows which one would hit the box office first. As for Apatow’s movie, I think Andy Richter would have been a better choice for Watson, and Ferrell as the bad guy.

For the Ritchie Holmes’ they should get Hugh Laurie to be Watson. Although I don’t know how he would feel having an American chosen for a historically British character.

One looks hillarious, the other exciting… How can I choose between Apatow and Downey Jr.
How I ask you!?

omg steampunk.
“how shall we beat him to the diamonds, Holmes?”
“elementary dear watson. we take the air-ship.”
“right-o, then.”

Robert Downey Jr. FTW

Steampunk, definitely!

Alright for Ritchie and Downey!

Although I did like the suggestion of someone a few weeks ago about having Hugh Laurie as Holmes. But Downey is an awesome choice.
