Sony Pictures has announced the Holmes & Watson release date! The comedy, inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary detective Sherlock Holmes, is scheduled for an August 3, 2018 release. There is an untitled Disney live-action film set for that date as well.
Holmes & Watson will feature Will Ferrell as the 21B Baker Street sleuth, with John C. Reilly playing Dr. Watson. They’ve previously teamed for comedies Step Brothers and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
Ferrell and Reilly will be joined in the film by Ralph Fiennes, Hugh Laurie, Kelly Macdonald and Rebecca Hall.
Holmes & Watson will be directed by Etan Cohen, who recently directed Ferrell and Kevin Hart in Get Hard. Set up with Mosaic and Gary Sanchez Productions producing, Holmes & Watson has already begun shooting in London.
