This does look lovely - and definitely aimed at the fans of the 80s Russian films - Holmes' glasses, the boxing scene, the opening antagonism. Will have to see how these guys stack up against Vasily and Vitaly.

Oh, there are definitely touches meant for fans of the earlier version. But that bit with the violin and waking up Watson at the end is what tickles me most!

It does look kind of cool, though it seems odd to hear Russian coming from Holmes and Watson. Very nice period look to it!

I've watched the first Russian series so often that doesn't even register. This is gonna be so much fun!

I will DEFINITELY be watching this!

(Giggling at the obvious Ritchie!Holmes influence, though)

Oh, yes, the Ritchie influence is strong. But so is the original Russian version. And I suspect I'm going to have a blast. So happy there's an English trailer! With any luck that means it will get released worldwide!
