What it says on the tin:
Feb. 28th, 2012 06:09 amOh no they didn't!:
Further proof that CBS’ in-the-works Sherlock Holmes reboot will take the iconic franchise in a radical new direction: The network has cast Lucy Liu as Watson!
TVLine has learned that Liu has been tapped to play Watson to Jonny Lee Miller‘s Sherlock in Elementary, the network’s modern-day take on the famed detective saga.
Another key change: Sherlock and Watson now live in New York City.
Because, yeah. It's not like anybody else has thought of a modern-day reboot. And New York works just as well in crime dramas as London does; just ask the Prime Suspect people about that.
At least it's on CBS, so we can get some David Caruso crossovers:
I'm going back to bed now. Dreams can't possibly be any worse.
