Sherlock co-creator Mark Gatiss is returning to the world of Arthur Conan Doyle for a new special starring Game of Thrones' Kit Harington.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The co-creator of Sherlock is returning to the world of Arthur Conan Doyle with a new special starring a Game of Thrones actor. Mark Gatiss teamed with Stephen Moffat on the BBC’s highly acclaimed Sherlock Holmes series, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as fiction’s most famous detective.
As the world waits for news on a possible Sherlock season 5, Gatiss will turn his attention to a different Doyle work, adapting the author’s short story Lot No. 249, with Jon Snow actor Kit Harington taking on the lead role. Freddie Fox of The Great will also star in the planned Christmas special . Check out Gatiss’ statement on the new project below:
“It’s a serious delight for me to delve once again into the brilliant work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, this time for the Christmas ghost story. Lot No.249 is personal favourite and is the grand-daddy of a particular kind of end of Empire chiller: a ripping yarn packed with ghastly scares and who-knows-what lurking in the Victorian closet …” ...revolves around a group of Oxford students, one of whom undertakes research into the secrets of Ancient Egypt, which become the talk of the college.
Written at a time when Egyptology was all the rage in Britain, Doyle’s original story is widely seen as influencing later tales revolving around sinister reanimated mummies, including the classic Boris Karloff film The Mummy, as well as serving as an inspiration for zombie fiction. The story’s influence indeed was directly felt by horror author Anne Rice, who dedicated her story The Mummy, or Ramses the Damned to Doyle.
Lot. No 249 for its part was first adapted for television as part of the 1967 BBC program Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It was also one of several stories featured in the 1990 anthology film Tales From the Darkside: The Movie, where it was given the horror-comedy treatment in an episode starring Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore and Christian Slater.
