US Sherlock and Joan Watson!

katana137uk mentioned this on Facebook, so I thought I'd post it over here.

The New York version of a modern day Sherlock Holmes has its main cast. Johnny Lee Miller (who starred with Benedict Cumberbatch in Frankenstein) is Sherlock, and Lucy Liu is 'Joan' Watson.

Link to the BBC.

Hmm. Well, it doesn't sound like it'll be anything like Steven Moffet and Mark Gatiss's Sherlock. I do wonder how good it'll be.

Oh, and apparently the stories in The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes are still copyrighted in the US, so unless Arthur Conan Doyle's estate give them permission, I guess that's one set of stories they can't adapt at all.
