Sherlock Holmes Battles Dinosaurs!

The subtextual hints of dinosaur-battling in Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic Sherlock Holmes series are finally getting their proper due on the big (straight to DVD) screen in a new Sherlock Holmes movie.

  • A Tyrannosaurus rex
  • A giant squid/octopus/Cthulu (possibly left over from Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus?)
  • A winged reptile that breathes fire (possibly the pterodactyl? unclear.)

According to Wired, there’s also a fight with a “homicidal steampunk droid” somewhere in the mix. So: yeah.
