The co-creator and star of sherlock, Mark Gatisshas said that he and the team behind the popular detective drama are still interested in bringing the series to theaters.
Gatiss, who created the program with Steven Moffatwas questioned last night about a film adaptation of Sherlock by the Deadline portal on the green carpet of the 2024 Olivier Awards at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
“We would like to make a movie, but trying to get everyone together is very difficult”Gatiss told Deadline, adding that if you want a concrete answer about a movie you’ll “have to ask Benedict (Cumberbatch) and Martin (Freeman).”
Gatiss expressed similar plans to adapt the show into a film last July when he told The Guardian that a Sherlock movie was “the most natural thing” following the series’ conclusion.
“People think you can just wave a wand,” Gatiss said when asked in a timeline about a Sherlock feature. “It’s incredibly difficult to get people interested and movies made. I remember talking to Edgar Wright about Ant-Man, which he put eight years of his life into and then didn’t make it. “Eight years is no less than a decade.”
Bookish, the new series from the creator of Sherlock
Gatiss is also co-creator of The League of Gentlemen from the BBC and Dracula from Netflix/BBC. Last week, Deadline revealed that she is writing and starring in Bookish, a new British TV drama about a bookstore owner who helps police solve crimes. The series will be a six-part series for UKTV’s crime drama network Alibi, set in post-war London in 1946.
The plot will follow Gabriel Book (Gatiss), an “erudite and unconventional” detective who solves mysterious cases in his outdated bookstore, using the thousands of books that line its shelves to provide him with the knowledge he needs. Surrounding him is a group of “lovable, damaged misfits whom he informally protects, cajoles, and advises.”
