BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / "The Taliban Shuffle"

Another interesting tidbit--there are rumors all over the place that Martin is in talks to join Tina Fey in "The Taliban Shuffle." No, I didn't know what it was about, but all the articles--and there are dozens, I gave up after the first three--give a quickie summary.

He's suppose to play a Scottish war photographer and her love interest.

Martin as a love interest.
Martin with a Scottish accent.

*thud*

So, we get a Fargo reunion or an Emmy 2014 reunion? http://variety.com/2015/film/news/billy-bob-thornton-and-alfred-molina-join-tina-feys-untitled-comedy-1201431515/

I thought that this film would be only a "small" comedy, but seeing what caliber actors get on board, the script might be quite good (i am not a big fan of american comedy kind of humour, so i had no big hopes it will be a good film).

I'll see this movie for one thing.

Martin as a love interest.

I don't care if he only has 2 scenes, I'll watch it.

LOL . But for that i don't need to see the film, tumblr would be enough (actually better to see them over and over again ).

I'm really lookinf forward to seeing him work with Tina Fey. That should be a lot of fun and I think they'll have great chemistry.

This looks interesting. Martin with a Scottish accent sounds interesting, too.

So jealous of Tina Fey right now. I hope there are love scenes.

**Posted by besleybean** November 29, 2015 2:58 pm

I don't like love scenes...
But better with Martin than with Benedict!

Why do you say better with Martin?

TRAILER!

Only a tiny bit of Martin but he's adorable as usual.

**Posted by besleybean** December 17, 2015 5:45 pm

Very nice.

I was just about to post the link, but it looks like you beat me to it, tonnaree!

I'm sort of curious about this. I wasn't expecting this to look like a comedy, but then again I haven't read the original book. I guess I assumed, even if Tina Fey is in it, that it would be a serious movie. I wonder what the reviews will be like.

**Posted by tonnaree** February 12, 2016 3:06 pm

Can someone correct the title of this thread?

Trailer #2 just out!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lE9sImhnLw

One tiny bit of Martin with a Scottish accent and I'm melting.

**Posted by Yitzock** February 12, 2016 4:26 pm

You're a mod, but you can't?

Anyway, great to see a new trailer! Not much Martin, but hey we got to hear him say something at least. The movie looks like an interesting combination of funny and serious, hopefully it's good.

**Posted by besleybean** February 12, 2016 4:39 pm

Scottish is good...

EDIT: but then I heard it. Scottish, what?!
Oh and can the scriptwriter think of no other word but 'fcuk'?!
