Brad Pitt to appear in Sherlock Holmes

Hollywood star Brad Pitt is to make a guest appearance as Sherlock Holmes’ nemesis Moriarty in Guy Ritchie’s new film.

Brad Pitt has agreed to appear as evil villain Moriarty in Guy Ritchie's new version of Sherlock Holmes, insiders have told The Mirror. Sources say Warner Bros executives told Ritchie to add the character after watching an early cut of the film so Guy called Brad, who'd worked with him on Snatch. Brad will film his scenes this week in the UK. "It's a huge coup to have Brad joining the cast. He has worked for Guy before and said if he could, he would do anything to help out," an insider said. "It was an oversight in the film not to make a bigger deal about Moriarty. He is mentioned as Holmes's arch enemy, but the bosses wanted Guy to make more of him. Brad is expected to be filming all over London," added the insider. "Cliveden House has been earmarked as a location for Moriarty's home. There will be scenes shot at Royal Victoria Dock, Pontoon Docks, Pinewood and Chatham Docks in Kent. And they will be using clips around the City of London to set the scene."
