Guy Ritchie has been ordered to reshoot five weeks' worth of filming on his new Sherlock Holmes movie, it was reported today.
'Tec troubles: Guy Ritchie
Bosses at Warner Brothers are said to be unhappy with the first version of the detective film, branding one scene "ridiculously unrealistic". The director has called back actors Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law, who star as Holmes and Watson, to reshoot the scenes in a bid to meet the movie's November release date.
It was reported today that many of the scenes were directed while Ritchie, 40, was going through his divorce from Madonna late last year, and he was "distracted" at the time. The film reinvents Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Victorian detective as an action hero, "like James Bond in 1891" said coproducer Joel Silver.
