New York (CMR) - The rumours that Russell Crowe will be playing Sherlock Holmes’ sidekick Dr. Watson in “Sherlock Holmes” have been denied by director Guy Ritchie.

At the premiere of his latest film called “RocknRolla” in London, Ritchie stated “I don’t have a Watson. Somebody just told me that I have Russell Crowe lined up but that’s news to me. I suspect that hasn’t happened and I’m still looking for my Watson.”

Ritchie also told reporters that “Sherlock Holmes” will not be focused on the one story but will stem from the four novels and 56 short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Robert Downey Jr. will play Sherlock Holmes is this film slated to start filming next month.
