This is how the fantasy film revolutionized blockbuster cinema
A bizarre murder leaves London police in the dark. By chance, boarder Holmes (Nicholas Rowe) and his newfound friend Watson (Alan Cox) uncover this dark secret. Suddenly both are in the middle of solving the case and laying the foundation for their amazing detective career.
The film by Barry Levinson is known for its 80s cult character for the first fully computer generated and photorealistic character in a live-action motion picture. It is about a knight who rises from the shards of a church window. The CGI character was scanned and painted directly onto film using an RGB laser. The whole thing was developed within four months by George Lucas’ effects company Industrial Light & Magic at Lucasfilm and later Pixar boss John Lasseter.
Aside from this classic, many Sherlock fans are still waiting for a sequel to the celebrated series adaptation from Great Britain with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. As with Sherlock Holmes 3, there should still be hope: according to the latest information, the production of season 5 could start immediately, but the main actors are not so easy to get due to their popularity.
