Sherlock Holmes Is Getting A Modern Makeover...Again

Not sure what to make of this...It's kind of unnecessary. But, according to Deadline, CBS is preparing another television series based on Arthur Conan Doyle-created character Sherlock Holmes, set in the present. More below:

"CBS has bought Sherlock Holmes, a drama project from CBS TV Studios and studio-based Timberman/Beverly Prods., which is described as a modern take on the cases of the pipe-smoking private eye created by Arthur Conan Doyle. Rob Doherty is writing and will executive produce with Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly."


I have to say, BBC's Sherlock is REALLY good, and I can't wait for next season. And this project at CBS seems like the exact same thing. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens with this one. Plus, as many of you know, Guy Ritchie's upcoming sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law will be released on December 16. So, what are your thoughts on this new project at CBS?
