Just over three months before its release, Warner Bros. is already talking about a sequel to the upcoming “Sherlock Holmes” movie.

The Guy Ritchie directed movie starring Robert Downey Jr. as the title character, Jude Law as his sidekick Dr. Watson and Rachel McAdams as Sherlock’s love interest isn’t due out until Christmas Day but the studio obviously thinks it has a hit on its hands.

The next interesting bit of news surrounding this sequel is that Brad Pitt might be involved along with the potential return of the other stars already in “Sherlock Holmes”.

Pitt has been in discussions with the producers about playing the role of Professor Moriarty, Sherlock’s archenemy, but no deal has been made yet.

We’ll have to wait and see how this all plays out and if “Sherlock Holmes” is well received by viewers.
