'Mr. Holmes' New Trailer News: Ian McKellen Plays 93-Year-Old Sherlock Holmes in Upcoming Film [VIDEO]
Ian McKellen's new film 'Mr. Holmes' has been the talk of moviegoers lately, as he portrays an older Sherlock Holmes, a version of the character not many are familiar with. However, a teaser trailer has finally been released showing fans a bit more of what the film will be all about.
The video showcase the 93-year-old Sherlock Holmes as a beekeeper. It all introduces Laura Kinney as his housekeeper, and Milo Parker as her young son, and Holmes' protege.
"The film, based on the novel 'A Slight Trick of the Mind' by Mitch Cullin, was adapted for the screen by Jeffrey Hatcher (The Duchess, Stage Beauty) and begins in 1947 when an aging Holmes returns from Japan, where, in search of a plant with powerful restorative qualities, he has witnessed the devastation of nuclear warfare. Now in his remote seaside farmhouse Holmes faces the end of his days tending to his bees with only the company of his housekeeper (Laura Linney) and her young son, Roger. Grappling with the diminishing powers of his mind, Holmes comes to rely upon the boy as he revisits an unsolved case which forced him into retirement, and searches for answers to the mysteries of life and love before it's too late," writes Coming Soon.
No U.S. release date has been announced yet, but it will premiere in the UK on June 19th.
