Release Date: TBA 2018

Writer-director Etan Coen (writer of Tropic Thunder and Men in Black 3) will helm this Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly-starring take on the iconic Arthur Conan Doyle characters, with Ferrell playing Holmes and Reilly taking the part of Watson for this PG-13 romp.

Yes, everyone's basically just hoping it's Step Brothers: Sherlock, but above all else, it's one of the most weirdly intriguing productions on the cards right now.

There's every possibility it'll be a flaming pile of hot garbage, but it could also be an inspired contemporary take on two iconic characters. It's easy to see how this was an instant sell to Sony Pictures, anyway.
