Just a few days ago we got a first look at the posters for Guy Ritchie's upcoming sequel "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows," and now, we've got the first trailer to share with you, so check it out after the jump. It actually looks pretty entertaining...

This sequel to the 2009 Robert Downey Jr. vehicle will find Holmes and his sidekick Watson, played by Jude Law, joining forces to bring down their most vicious adversary yet, Professor Moriarty, played by Jared Harris. Noomi Rapace co-stars as Sim.

"Sherlock Holmes 2" opens Dec. 16, 2011. Although I did not absolutely love the first film, I enjoyed it, and this trailer promises just as much action and dry humor as its predecessor. Strangely enough, it feels kind of good to see Downey Jr. and Law back in action.

Sandra Bullock in Cuaron's 'Gravity'?

Sometimes it's quite tough to find the right actress for the lead in a sci-fi film. Alfonso Cuaron has been looking for one for his 3D film "Gravity," but until now, it's been quite a challenge for the filmmaker.

Sandra Bullock is the latest circling the project, and if she has the time, she may land the part. Angelina Jolie was attached at first, but she dropped out. Natalie Portman was next, but she's too busy as well.

Bullock, who won an Oscar for "The Blind Side," is a hot contender, and she's in talks with Warner to play the lead. She would play a woman stuck on a space station with Robert Downey Jr. Not too bad, huh?

Robert Downey Jr. to star in 'Yucatan'

Robert Downey Jr. is on a roll. The "Sherlock Holmes" and "Iron Man" actor has signed on to star in "Yucatan," an adventure flick he will also produce with his wife Susan. The film is set up at Warner Bros.

Deadline reports Anthony Peckham is writing the script for "Yucatan," which is based on a story created by Steve McQueen. Downey Jr. plays a salvage expert hired to steal a treasure hidden underwater.

McQueen spent a lot of time planning the project via tons of notes and storyboards, which never took off. Warner set it up a few years ago, but further development failed until the Downey team picked it up.
