Brad Pitt to the Rescue as Moriarty

Source: IMDB

According to IMDB, Brad Pitt has agreed to portray Sherlock Holmes nemesis in the upcoming Guy Ritchie movie starring Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law. Honestly, I didn’t really see the point of doing a Sherlock Holmes big budget flick without Moriarty in at least a cameo. Now, my feelings are justified. It seems the studio isn’t happy with the rough cut. However, I am going to side with the studio on this one. Sherlock Holmes isn’t Sherlock Holmes without a Moriarty. Eve if it is just to set up the sequels, I think a cameo by his greatest foe would be welcome, especially for Sherlock Holmes fans like me.
