Ian McKellen as Sherlock Holmes – first picture. Ian McKellen has tweeted the first photograph of himself starring as a nonagenarian Sherlock Holmes in the Bill Condon mystery Mr Holmes.
The new film, which will hit cinemas next year, centres on an aged Holmes who becomes obsessed with one final case. It is based not on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original 19th century stories about the famous English sleuth, but the 2005 novel A Slight Trick of the Mind by Mitch Cullin. Tweeted McKellen, 75: "Over 70 actors have previously played Sherlock Holmes. Godzilla Is Great, Even Though The Dark Knight Ruined Blockbusters.

George Lucas's Art Museum: His Best Idea Since Star Wars - Katie Kilkenny. His planned tribute to narrative art has been called a vanity project, but compared to his 20th-century museum-founding predecessors, he's a champion for the masses.
