Mel Gibson hat nun jedoch gesagt, er habe »für das Projekt im Moment leider keine Zeit«, wodurch der Film in die Warteschleife geschoben wurde. On Location für SHERLOCK HOLMES wurde Silver nun dazu befragt:
»No, I tried and we talked about it, but it was something that Mel didn’t want to do now. It doesn’t mean that he wants to do it ever, but as of right now, he didn’t, and if we can do it, it would be fun to do. Shane (Black) had a great take on it, a great idea, great feeling about it. He did a really complex kind of treatment/outline, very complicated and very good, but we can do it one day. The idea that they wanted to get it up right away, we couldn’t do that, but we’ll see what happens.«
Aufgeschoben oder aufgehoben?
