Robert Downey Jr. Hits Comic-Con
Posted by Adam
Robert Downey Jr. attended day 3 of Comic-Con International at the San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA., Saturday.
The actor took to the stage to discuss his upcoming role in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes.
Holmes, the actor said, has been misrepresented in previous film projects. “The more we all looked into the original lexicon of the four novels and dozens and dozens of short stories, the more you realize that,” Downey said.
“We pretty much went back to the source. That’s how we reinvigorated it, by changing it less than it has been.
“This movie was all about the prep — martial arts and dialect. I get grumpy when I actually have to work, but I do love the challenge.”
“Robert was so committed — and ripped in this movie,” his costar Rachel McAdams added.
Sherlock Holmes — which also stars British actor Jude Law — hits movie theaters on December 25, 2009.
