Jude Law reveals plot details of Sherlock Holmes 3

The last Sherlock Holmes film, A Game of Shadows, ended with James Moriarty (Jared Harris) and Sherlock falling to their apparent deaths into the Reichenbach Falls. But the final sequence of the film revealed that Sherlock had survived. He added a question mark to “The End” that Watson had written while concluding his memoirs.

Since the story of Sherlock Holmes 3 will reunite Sherlock and Watson after a long time, it may take inspiration from The Adventure of the Empty House short story that appeared in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s collection The Return of Sherlock Holmes. After killing off both Moriarty and Sherlock, the legend says Sir Doyle was forced to resurrect the private detective after his readers wanted to read more of Sherlock, and did so in The Adventure of the Empty House.

While the second film featured Sherlock’s archvillain Professor James Moriarty, the first film had him against Mark Strong’s Lord Henry Blackwood. Sherlock Holmes is the most portrayed literary character ever and has seen numerous adaptations over the decades. The TV series titled Sherlock starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman has been a big success.
