I'm not too sure of the truth behind the rumour, but Brad Pitt is reportedly in talks to play arch-nemesis Moriarty in the sequel to the ludicrous looking Guy Ritchie helmed Holmes. Script writers Kieran and Michele Mulroney (behind the forthcoming Jeff Daniels superhero buddy movie Paper Man) have been more firmly attached to the project by The Hollywood Reporter's Risky Biz Blog. I'm not usually one for rumours, but this one seems too wierd to be true surely. Pitt hasnt worked as a bona-fide villain since Kalifornia, and that character was a million miles away from the traditional evil of Moriarty- but then Ritchie isnt one for coherence and a more traditional casting choice: personally I'd go for Sir Ben Kingsley every time,- even despite his tendency to ham to the max when it comes to villains (Thunderbirds, anyone?). Or how about Tim Roth? Surely it's time he made some new waves in the business? Stranger things have happened. Who would you like to see play Moriarty?
