Forget Moriarty…Holmes probably already has, because in this telling, the master-sleuth finds himself vulnerable to the inevitable memory loss that strikes all people of a certain age.
I’m going to take a wild guess that this Sherlock Holmes dies at the end…though maybe he shouldn’t, as “Retirement Holmes” could be a whole new way to pitch franchises at audiences that don’t normally find themselves a target demographic.
