The Hound of the Baskervilles is set to prowl once more as Tiger Aspect Productions are shooting a new Holmes film to be broadcast on BBC television this Christmas. The new project (reportedly budgeted at £3.5 million) stars Australian actor Richard Roxburgh (Duke of Monroth in Moulin Rouge, The Touch) as Sherlock Holmes, with Ian Hart (Quirrell in Harry Potter, Backbeat) as Watson, John Nettles (Inspector Barnaby in Midsomer Murders, Bergerac) as Dr. Mortimer and Richard E.
