Something is afoot on the next Movie Addict Headquarters show! Sherlock Holmes expert Ed Fitzelle drops by on November 4 to discuss Sherlock Holmes films as well as actors who have portrayed this fictional master detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle over 120 years ago. More than 70 actors have appeared in upwards of 200 cinema projects featuring this popular character. The latest actor signing on as Sherlock is Sir Ian McKellen in Mr. Holmes, a film scheduled for release in 2015. McKellen adds his name to an impressive list including such diverse actors as Basil Rathbone, Jeremy Brett, Charlton Heston, Michael Caine, Christopher Plummer, Nicol Williamson, John Cleese,  Douglas Fairbanks, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Downey, Jr.

Fitzelle’s company, EverythingSherlockHolmes.com, is a portal designed to help viewers enjoy Sherlock Holmes.  According to Fitzelle, visitors can immerse themselves in movies, TV shows, books, audiobooks and radio shows, or they can sample and learn about the character over time with repeated visits.  The site contains 40 hours of moving image content (movies and TV Series) and all of the Canon that is in public domain in audio and print versions.  There’s also a news section with reports relating to Sherlock as well as an international events calendar focused on Sherlock-related events around the world.

“If you’re interested in hearing about the history of Sherlock Holmes, from its roots in the pages of mystery periodicals to becoming the most popular entertainment empire of all time (we’ll give Harry Potter another generation or two to catch up), I’d be happy to arrange a time for you to speak with the Sherlock Holmes experts and entertainment industry veterans at Everything Sherlock Holmes,” Fitzelle promises. He believes that visiting the site can help one understand how the character has evolved to become an icon for successive generations, how the Sherlock Holmes stories reshaped the very concept of detective fiction, and what changes lay in store for these major entertainment franchises.
