HOLLYWOOD - Russell Crowe is set to play Sherlock Holmes' sidekick Dr .Watson in Guy Ritchie's new film.
The Gladiator star is lined up to star opposite Robert Downey Jr. as the legendary fictional sleuth's confidante and storyteller in the forthcoming flick.
A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Russell wants the part, Guy wants Russell. All they've got left to do is dot the i's and cross the t's."
