I know that some of you are Holmes/Watson fans (I know I will be once I see the movie), so I thought I would give you this little piece of bad news.
Apparently Guy Ritchie has been warned about the subtext between the two characters:
---The literary estate of Holmes author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has reportedly threatened to take away Ritchie's rights to the story if he includes the "homoerotic subtext" in the next Sherlock flick!
Robert Downey Jr. jokingly suggested the possibility of his character being a "very butch homosexual," but Andrea Plunket, the woman in charge of the rights to Sherlock in the U.S., was not amused.
"I hope this is just an example of Mr Downey's black sense of humor," said Plunket.
"It would be drastic, but I would withdraw permission for more films to be made if they feel that is a theme they wish to bring out in the future. I am not hostile to homosexuals, but I am to anyone who is not true to the spirit of the books," she concluded.---
What utter BS. I haven't seen the movie and I'm pissed at this. Unless it was stated in the books 'Holmes and Watson are not into each other sexually at all', why can it not be true to the books with a little bit of subtext? It's not like Guy is making them shag FFS.
Thoughts???

***edit***
Just told my dad about this and he replied 'Well there were always rumours about Sherlock'.
Yet when it comes to K/S, he has nothing.
