Dear Howard,

You might want to know that we recently launched a Facebook page for the upcoming film Sherlock Holmes vs Frankenstein : www.facebook.com/holmes.frankenstein
We will post updates there on a regular basis.

We are also preparing a newsletter about the project, that you will begin receiving shortly from Parkland Pictures. The most recent info we can share is the addition of giant actor John Lebar to the cast. John is 7’3’’ tall, and has been seen recently as the Golem in Sherlock's episode 'The Great Game'. He will play the creature.

Best regards,

Press team
Marteau Films Production

Originally cast with Nicholas Rowe as Sherlock Holmes, and Alan Cox as Dr. Watson. Don't know if that has changed or not, but it sure would be tremendous to see these two re-united in their roles from way back in the days of Speilberg's "Young Sherlock Holmes" ('Pyramid of Fear").
