Stars grace Sherlock Holmes preview
Monday December 14 2009
The world premiere of Sherlock Holmes will see Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law take to the red carpet.
The pipe-smoking detective and his formidable partner Dr John Watson have been brought to life in a high-octane adventure directed by Guy Ritchie.
The premiere will also be graced by actresses Rachel McAdams and Kelly Reilly.
The action-adventure mystery sees Holmes using not just his legendary intellect but also a surprising range of fighting skills as he battles to bring down a new nemesis.
Tourism chiefs have already launched a travel campaign around the new film, highlighting locations linked with the famous detective and his creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who was born 150 years ago this year.
The movie includes scenes shot at St Paul's Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament, Manchester town hall, Liverpool Docks and the Old Royal Naval College at Greenwich, south London.
The film opens across the UK on Boxing Day.
