head to head with the <strong>Brad Bird</strong>-directed <strong><em>Mission: Impossible IV</em></strong>, one week after <strong>Martin Scorsese</strong>'s 3D movie <strong><em>The Invention of Hugo Cabret</em></strong> , and one week before <strong>Steven Spielberg</strong>'s 3D performance capture adaptation of <strong><em>The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn</em></strong> and

that "she'll be present". But I wouldn't expect her to have a large role as the actress is tentatively scheduled to begin filming on <strong>Terrence Malick</strong>'s untitled next film in the fall.</p> <p>Silver also confirms that the next film will pay off and revolve around Sherlock's archnemesis Moriarty. <strong>Brad Pitt</strong> had previously rumored to be in line for the role.</p> <p style="text-align: right;">via: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220312040341/http://www.heatvisionblog.com/2010/05/warner-bros-sets-sherlock-sequel-date-flash-close-to-greenlight.html" target="_blank">Heatvision</a></p> </p> <div class="vidad-container"></div> <div class="teads-container"></div> </div> </div> </article> <div class="under-art"> <div class="divider-heading-container divider-heading recommended-heading"> <span>Recommended</span> </div> <div class="zergnet-widget" id="zergnet-widget-10331" data-lazyload="2000"></div> </div> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> setTimeout(function() { var n = document.getElementById("#zergnet-widget-10331");
