Sherlock Holmes 3 set to start filming this year

Good news Sherlock Holmes fans.  Robert Downey Jr and Guy Ritchie are due to start working on a third installment of the popular Sherlock movie series.

It's going to be a follow-up to the 2009 and 2011 Sherlock Holmes movies and will begin filming before the end of the year.

In an interview with Shortlist, Robert said, "We’re talking about it right now. We can do some preliminary stuff.

"If we could shoot it on Skype, we could have the whole [movie] done in a week. When we’re making those Sherlock movies it is off the hook. [So] we’ll attempt to make one this year.

"It really is a big deal to go and do those movies. I’m tired all the time, but I’m so excited about it."
