Law and Downey Jr want Sherlock 3

Jude Law has said he and co-star Robert Downey Jr both want to make another Sherlock Holmes movie.

The pair reprised their roles as Sherlock (Robert) and Dr Watson (Jude) in the sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows last year, after first playing the famous sleuth and his side-kick in Guy Ritchie's 2009 film.

Asked about a third instalment, Anna Karenina star Jude told Collider: "There's certainly talk of it and I know there's a script being played around with, but Downey's a busy boy and I'm a busy boy so we'll see.

"But we want to (do another one). We're a very happy team and we have a lot of fun and we also think there's still a lot of legs in the duo."

British director Guy is reported to want to move the action to Hollywood for the third film, to set it in Los Angeles.
