• Is Brad Pitt circling the villainous role of Moriarty in Guy Ritchie‘s "Sherlock Holmes" sequel?
That’s what screenwriters Kieran & Michele Mulroney seemed to suggest in a recent interview with Collider, saying "I hope Brad likes it." What is the "it" the Mulroneys are referring to? Why, the "Sherlock Holmes 2" screenplay, of course. And why would he be reading that if he weren’t considering playing a part in the film? See where I’m going with this?
Back in September, the Hollywood Reporter mentioned that Pitt had held discussions with "Sherlock Holmes" producers about playing Holmes’ nemesis, but a deal never materialized.
