Rumors: Brad Pitt cameo in SHERLOCK HOLMES?
The Brit website mirror.co.uk is convinced that Guy Ritchie's already star-studded film, SHERLOCK HOLMES, is adding yet another colossal name to its list, Brad Pitt. Fresh from INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, this site is claiming that Pitt is set to shoot his scenes this week, which is when re-shoots were already scheduled to take place for the remainder of the film. Here's how the site explains Pitt's late addition to the film.
"Madonna’s ex-hubby (Ritchie) got in a right pickle with movie execs when they clapped eyes on the rough cut of his latest film… and felt like re-titling it the Mystery of the Missing Moriarty. They ordered the director to reinstate the great Holmes’ evil nemesis, pronto. But what could have been a huge disaster for Guy, 40, has actually turned out incredibly well – his film now boasts Brad Pitt! Desperate for help, Guy phoned his old mucker Brad, who had starred in his gangster flick SNATCH. Fortunately, Brad, 45, had a couple of days free in his busy schedule to pop over to Blighty to play the evil criminal mastermind."

And now for a handful of quotes that the site claims came from a reliable, on set, source:
“It’s a huge coup to have Brad joining the cast."
“He has worked for Guy before and said if he could, he would do anything to help out."
“It was an oversight in the film not to make a bigger deal about Moriarty. He is mentioned as Holmes’ arch enemy, but the bosses wanted Guy to make more of him. Jude Law (who plays Dr Watson) and Robert Downey Jr (Holmes) have already shot their scenes."
“But now that 10 extra days have been added to shoot the new ones, they may be called back for a day or two."
“Brad is expected to be filming all over London. Cliveden House has been earmarked as a location for Moriarty’s home. There will be scenes shot at Royal Victoria Dock, Pontoon Docks, Pinewood and Chatham Docks in Kent. And they will be using clips around City of London to set the scene."
“It’s going to be a full-on couple of days, but now the release date has been pushed back they might just do it in time.”
Though entertaining to think about, I highly doubt any of this is true. Like their tea, the Brits love a good rumor. I am only kidding. In fact, it seems that just about everyone loves a juicy rumor. We will definitely make sure to keep a close eye on this one, so keep checking back with us, where we will either debunk or confirm the Pitt rumor as soon as possible.
