Shooting for a new screen
adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes has started in Russia's
northern capital.
The series will consist of 16
episodes. Sherlock Holmes will be played by 34-year-old Russian actor Igor
Petrenko, while the role of his devoted friend and assistant Dr. Watson was
given to Andrey Panin.
The last Russian rendition of
the famous detective's exploits, shot in the 1980s, was praised both in the
Soviet Union and Britain.
The actor playing Holmes was
given an Order of the British Empire for his performance.
The creators of the new series
say they are not trying to compete with the Soviet masterpiece – only to offer a
new perspective on the story.
The movie will hit the big
screens at the end of 2012.
