[ Update : Poster imagery removed at the request of Sony . When raw and prescribed versions loose we will update . ]
apart from the hand signs , nothing particularly interesting stands out from the new placard . It ’s a rather generic poster , for the most part , though its release would paint a picture a preview being in the works . Usually , marketing run start out with a first look , a bill poster , and then a teaser preview . But for a non - blockbuster movie , it ’s potential that a full - length trailer would liberate soon rather than a vexer lagger . The question is , which motion-picture show will it release with ? An obvious choice would be in front of another comedy film , such as Paul Feig’sA Simple Favoror perhaps another Sony / Columbia movie , like Yann Demange’sWhite Boy Rick .
In gain to pass general audiences a first glance at the new drollery film , the house trailer will give audience an mind of what to expect from the film , including whether or not it ’s target an R - rating or will remain more family line - favorable collapse the informant stuff as well as the fact that it ’s releasing over a vacation weekend . But more traditional Sherlock fans can rest assured do it that Holmes and Watson is n’t the only Sherlock Holmes movie on the way . Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law are both set to retrovert as their respective characters inSherlock Holmes 3 in 2020 .
