Denofgeek posted an article about the casting of JLM in Elementary and included Sue Vertue's reaction: link.

Miller, ironically, shared the lead role in Frankenstein with Benedict Cumberbatch at the National Theatre. The pair were both rewarded with a Best Actor prize for their work.

Reacting to the news, Sherlock producer Sue Vertue hinted once more at potential action, should CBS stray uncomfortably close to her show. “Jonny is a very fine actor, who I saw recently in the theatre when he and Benedict played alternative roles in Frankenstein”, she told The Independent. “Let’s hope their pilot script has stayed further away from our Sherlock than their casting choice”.

She added that “We have been in touch with CBS and informed them that we will be looking at their finished pilot very closely for any infringement of our rights”.

I seriously love Sue Vertue and her snark. I mean, as much as I like JLM, could CBS be any more obvious with this casting?
