?Sherlock? makers sticking to abbreviated seasons

 

PASADENA, Calif. ? The makers of TV?s ?Sherlock? say even a lobbying effort by British Prime Minister David Cameron wouldn?t persuade them to produce more episodes each season.

But ?Sherlock? co-creator Steven Moffat and producer Sue Vertue tweaked Cameron anyway for lack of effort. It?s been more than a month, they noted, since he visited China and was asked by fans there to press for more of the popular mystery series.

 

He and Cumberbatch, who said he appreciated the fervor of fans, agreed they are committed to keeping ?Sherlock? going indefinitely.

Great, now how about we get them every year instead of two? :(

Sherlock Season 4 does not currently have a release date, though based on the scheduling of the first three seasons, it will likely come out in Britain and America in 2016.

 

I don't even know if i'll be alive by twenty sixteen :(  :laugh:

Did you miss me?

The season was pretty meh overall.  I got lost more than a couple times this episode.  For example.. how did Sherlock ruin the girls engagement?  Looking forward to next, hoping it picks up.  For now.. I guess I have elementary.. which sadly has been pretty blah so far.

How he ruins the engagement was pretty straightforward!

Just started watching the series, in the last few days, and finished the first season. I have 3 major complains about the show. There is almost no character development, the seasons are too short, and new seasons only come out every 2 years. I do like the show though, it just makes it harder to really want to watch something that is on such a ridiculous schedule.

I hope the next season doesn't feel as rushed as the most recent season did.

 

I think the character development issue is a big deal for the villain, not so much for Sherlock and Watson. Adding a few extra episodes to help fill in those gaps would be great though. And it really doesn't even need to be that many episodes, an extra three would probably do it.

 

I think they want to have something that feels face paced and the way they write the show, that can only be accomplished with three episodes. But that's just my opinion.

When does this start up again? Seems all my favorite shows are coming later in the year :/

There's an announcement at 2:21 today apparently so we might know something then!

The BBC has released an image of the crime-solving duo donning some 19th century threads, and while this looks like a promo image, the BBC?s Twitter account confirms that this is how they?ll appear in the special. Sherlock doesn?t do dream sequences, so I?m intrigued as to why Sherlock and Watson are wearing some period garb. Unfortunately, the answer is a long ways off.

The 80s and 90s Sherlock Holmes starring Jeremy Brett is one of my most favorite TV series to date and the best sherlock series ever to me. Too bad we lost Jeremy too soon.

 

I'm not really that much of a fan of the new, modern series. It's too over-the-top for me, doesn't really fit the modern era IMO and seems to be geared towards general public and young viewers specifically rather than the regular sherlock holmes fans.

 

Let's see how this special pans out. I wouldn't mind if they set one season in the Victorian London with cases similar, but not the same, to Conan Doyle's writings.

 

P.S. I really enjoyed the latest holmes games, Crimes and Punishments.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
