katikatSo, Sherlock was set to start filming in January, right? Not anymore...
Well, puh :( I know it's "just" a show but to wait 2+ years for 3 measly episodes? I think that's taking it a tad too far. I like Moffat, I like his enthusiasm for the project, but there's teasing your viewers and then there's pooping on their heads and basically making fun of their commitment. I know the article says it's mostly because of Benedict and Martin, because of their projects, but they had 18 months (!!!) to plan ahead and be available in January so I consider that a poor excuse and poor management.
Personally, I think it's mostly because of that Julian Assange movie that Benedict joined. I think it'll start filming early next year and that's why he won't be available. I think that is why James McAvoy started negotiations to join it because XMFC was pushed back to March/April 2013 too. And now both he and Benedict have the first 2-3 months of 2013 free.
So yeah, I hoped we would see Sherlock S3 in summer again. 18 months was a lot but that's what we were told from the get-go. Now it looks like 24 months or more will pass between the two seasons. AND it looks like S3 will be the last too, as it was suggested by various sites based on the words Moffat and Gatiss chose as clues. That's just adding insult to injury *sigh*
ETA: From Sue Vertue - Moffat's wife and Sherlock's producer - personally: "To stop further speculation, #sherlock filming has pushed to Mrch for availability reasons. It's not expected to affect any likely tx dates." Source. That makes me wonder when they actually planned to air the episodes - originally, I mean.
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that production of Sherlock series 3 has now been pushed back at least two more months to March, to work around the schedules of everyone involved. At the very earliest, that now suggests that transmission of the three new Sherlock episodes won't be taking place until Christmas 2013, and we wouldn't wager against following the new year's day premiere and January roll-out in 2014, either.
