Mystery Players
UK Vogue Magazine – November, 2002
Richard E. Grant, Matt Day, Geraldine James, Richard Roxburgh, Ian Hart and Neve McIntosh.
It may be Sherlock Holmes, but don’t expect traditional deerstalkers in this Christmas’ BBC adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic thriller The Hound of the Baskervilles. Instead, the mystery of Dartmoor’s legendary hell-hound will involve new fangled animatronics and a younger, more athletic looking Holmes and Watson. The former is played by the smouldering Richard Roxburgh, best known for his role as the evil Duke in Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge, and the latter by Ian Hart. Richard E. Grant is the archeologist Stapleton; Matt Day, Sir Henry Baskerville. A regal Geraldine plays Mrs Mortimer, and newcomer Neve McIntosh bewitches with her cool beauty as Miss Stapleton.
