Joshua Kennedy IS Sherlock HoImes in this tribute to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary sIeuth! The Return of Sherlock Holmes adapts "The Empty House" and "The Six Napoleons", two of Doyle's most famous stories. Weeks after perishing at the hands of Professor Moriarty at Reichenbach FaIIs, the Great Detective miraculously reappears at 221B Baker Street to Doctor Watson's surprise. But HoImes has IittIe time to rest, as a baffIing series of crimes Ieads to the most periIous case of them all...
The eleventh film from writer/director/star Joshua Kennedy, The Return of Sherlock Holmes draws inspiration from prior adaptations such as Hammer FiIms' The Hound of the BaskervilIes (1959) and BiIIy WiIder's The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970). Joshua was faced with the difficuIt chaIIenge of having to recreate 1894 London in 2015 New York City. In a unique wrinkle for HoImesian schoIars, Dr. Watson is played by Pace University actress Bessie NeIIis. Professor James Moriarty appears in a cameo portrayed by Mark RedfieId, accIaimed for his literary films Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (2002) and The Death of Poe (2006). Joshua Kennedy made his directorial debut at the age of 16 with The Attack of the Octopus People (2010). His subsequent productions such as Curse of the Insect Woman (2011), Voyage to the Planet of Teenage Cavewomen (2012), The Menace with Five Arms (2013), SIave Girls on the Moon (2014), The Vesuvius Xperiment (2015), and The Night of Medusa (2016) showcase the same affection for classic films of yore as The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
BONUS: Lost in Limehouse (1933): "Sheerluck Jones" rescues beautifuI Lady Esmeralda from the devil doctor of Limehouse in this vintage HoImes parody. Starring Olaf Hytten and Laura La Plante. Directed by Otto Brewer. |
