A different take

2012-03-01-a-different-take
CBS is apparently planning a complete reboot of the Sherlock Holmes story: they've hired Jonny Lee Miller to be their Sherlock Holmes (which... okay), changed the setting to modern-day New York City, and cast Lucy Liu as Watson.

I've seen plenty of adaptations that emphasized Watson's intelligence and competence, but this casting suggests that this version might be taking that even further. No offense to Miller, who I think is quite effective in the right roles, but Liu seems like she could out-maneuver him every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Note: This book cover? I wannnnnnts it.
