Ahh, Sherlock Holmes. It was Guy Ritchie’s finest project in a long while and one of my favorite movies of 2009. The sequel, currently titled Sherlock Holmes 2, is shooting at present in England. While on location at Didcot Railway Center which houses a large collection Steam Engines, the LA Times managed to catch up with the production and also landed a new film still from the movie too!

Speaking to leading actors, Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, they were given a taste of what they could expect from the sequel, due to hit cinemas this December:

“I think one of the most exciting things in this one is the fear level,” says Law. “We get pretty kicked around. Just look at the state of us.”

“Unlike last time, where Holmes kept getting Watson into trouble,” adds actor Downey, “this time Watson is getting Holmes out of trouble, and they’re both in deeper trouble than I think the audience could have imagined we could go…. All manner of nastiness has just occurred.”

The trouble, of course, in this sequel stems from the mega-mind of one Professor James Moriarty, the literary arch-nemesis of Holmes who appears as a shadowy figure in the original film. With plot details still firmly under wraps little is known about what’s in store other than the fact that “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” actress, Noomi Rapace will be joining the pair as Gypsy woman, Sim.

For now, we have this new film still. Take a look below:
