So, ol' RDJ, as we know, is on board for the "love" story between Holmes & Watson, as far as that goes (check various interviews / promos / posts in my lj for All That).
Here, he takes a swing at the film's nay-sayers:
Downey says the adaptation is extremely true to the source material. "My take is what the puritans would expect ... if the puritans know what they're talking about. He never wore a deerstalker cap, except like maybe once, for a second, except even then it was described differently. The long pipe was something that Gillette used so he didn't obscure his face on the stage. So we're not using any of those and we're staying true to the Doyle material."OH SNAP.
(If you have issues with his comments, don't piss in my lj. He's not here. If he were, I wouldn't be spending my day browsing SDCC photos and shit.)
