Sherlock Holmes: A Slight Trick of the Mind

[Raph's Girl]

Sir Ian McKellen has been cast as Sherlock Holmes in a film called "A Slight Trick Of the Mind". This is based on a book and deals with Sherlock, now retired, trying to solve a case he barely remembers from 50 years ago (it's set in 1947).

In 1947, Sherlock Holmes, long retired, lives in a sleepy Sussex village with his housekeeper and her amateur-sleuthing son. But far from living out a peaceful retirement, he is haunted by an unsolved case from fifty years ago. He remembers only fragments: a confrontation with an angry husband, a secret bond with his beautiful but unstable wife.

With his legendary mental powers on the wane, and without his old sidekick Watson, Holmes is faced with the toughest case of his life – a case that might finally reveal to him the mysteries of the human heart.
