"When you're a detective and a man visits you, it's usually about his wife." So far we've only seen a couple brief teaser trailers for Mr. Holmes, the British drama that sees Lord of the Rings and X-Men franchise star Ian McKellen played an aged, retired Sherlock Holmes. Now a full trailer from across the pond has surfaced showing off more of the story. It looks like Holmes is out to clear up some details that his partner Watson exaggerated in some stories he wrote after their partnership ended, particularly in his final case. In addition, he seems to be mentoring a little boy, one who could go on to become a future detective. Watch!
Here's the full UK trailer for Bill Condon's Mr. Holmes from eOne UK:

McKellen (or whomever posts to his Facebook for him) also noted your quote when he posted the trailer video on his account.

There is not enough Sherlock Holmes movies in this world. That's why it's not a better place
