SAN DIEGO (AP) - July 24, 2009
The 44-year-old actor stepped out unannounced and presented a
clip from his forthcoming film "Sherlock Holmes" to an
enthusiastic crowd of more than 6,000 Comic-Con fans Friday.
Downey called Holmes "an intellectual superhero" in the tale
set in England in the 1800s. The film is based on the original
stories by Arthur Conan Doyle and the era's obsession with the
occult.
"We reinvigorated it by changing it less" than other
adaptations of the story, Downey said.
Also starring Jude Law as Dr. John Watson and Rachel McAdams as
Holmes' love interest, Irene Adler.
