PRESS STATEMENT FROM WARNER BROS:

"Take your first look at the latest trailer of Warner Bros.' upcoming action-adventure Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, the follow-up to the smash hit Sherlock Holmes.

"The trailer is now playing in local cinemas as an added attraction to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2.

"The sequel reunites director Guy Ritchie, stars Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, and producers Joel Silver, Lionel Wigram, Susan Downey and Dan Lin.

"In the film, Sherlock Holmes has always been the smartest man in the room...until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large—Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris)—and not only is he Holmes' intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective.

"Jared Harris (TV's Mad Men, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) joins the cast as the notorious Professor Moriarty. Also joining the cast, in her first English-speaking role, is Swedish actress Noomi Rapace, who gained international attention in the Swedish film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Stephen Fry (Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) plays Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock's older brother.

"Opening across the Philippines in January 2012, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company."

Ed's Note: When content falls under "Press Statement," this means that the material is fully and directly from the company itself. The use of open-and-close quotation marks to envelope the entire text shows as much. This also means that PEP is not the author of the statement being read. PEP is simply providing the information for readers who may be interested.
