Sherlock Holmes: The New Adventures

When the world went to war, the greatest mind returned. Sherlock Holmes: The New Adventures is a historical action-adventure set in 1916, in which a summons from the King brings an older, sharper and more dangerous Holmes out of retirement. It is a Faith In Films co-production with Kent Walwin, with AI film content by Dreamcatcher Films.

The story

It is 1916 and the First World War is tearing Europe apart. Holmes, now 62, is summoned to Buckingham Palace, where the King reveals a shocking connection between Jack the Ripper and the war itself.

Holmes discovers a shadow network manipulating world events and assembles an unlikely alliance with Winston Churchill, Gertrude Bell and T.E. Lawrence. Racing across the battlefields and political centres of wartime Europe, he is finally forced into a moral choice: glory, or sacrifice for the greater good.

Why this film works

It is a bold reinvention of Sherlock Holmes as a mythic late-career hero, mixing real historical figures with the most famous detective in fiction. Intelligent, epic and darkly elegant, it is built for franchise and limited-series expansion.

Where it stands

The treatment is complete. The film is co-produced with Faith In Films, led by Kent Walwin, who brings 60 years in the industry and more than 120 credits. It is designed for AI-assisted production, which gives it cinematic scale on a controlled budget.
