five-part series of webisodes based on Sherlock Holmes. Auditions are
being held in the coming weeks for three roles.
(BROCK TOWNSHIP) A local film student is looking for a new take on Sherlock Holmes.
After wrapping up his second year of studies at Humber College, Carter
deLaat of Beaverton is filming a series of five 'webisodes' over the
summer featuring the legendary detective.
While Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's creation has appeared on screen more than
250 times -- worthy of a Guiness World Record as the most portrayed
literary human character in film and television -- Mr. deLaat is hoping
to bring something new to the table.
"It's a comedic look at the domestic side of Holmes and his sidekick, Dr. John Watson," he said.
He's holding auditions for the roles of Holmes, Watson and landlady,
Mrs. Hudson, May 1 and May 8 at the Beaverton Town Hall from 7 to 9 p.m.
Filming is slated for June with the premiere scheduled for July, when it
will be uploaded to the Beaverton Town Hall Players website.
