A new international trailer has been released by the studio for the upcoming film Mr. Holmes (below). Based on the novel A Slight Trick of the Mind by Mitch Cullin, Ian McKellen stars as an elderly Sherlock Holmes living a peaceful retirement in the countryside.
Here's a synopsis of the film:
1947. An aging Sherlock Holmes returns from a journey to Japan, where, in search of a rare plant with powerful restorative qualities, he has witnessed the devastation of nuclear warfare. Now, in his remote seaside farmhouse, Holmes faces the end of his days tending to his bees, with only the company of his housekeeper and her young son, Roger. Grappling with the diminishing powers of his mind, Holmes comes to rely upon the boy as he revisits the circumstances of the unsolved case that forced him into retirement, and searches for answers to the mysteries of life and love — before it's too late.
Directed by Bill Condon from an adapted screenplay by Jeffrey Hatcher, Mr. Holmes opens in theaters July 17th, 2015.

A Novel of Sherlock Holmes
It is 1947, and the long-retired Sherlock Holmes, now 93, lives in a remote Sussex farmhouse with his housekeeper and her young son. He tends to his bees, writes in his journal, and grapples with the diminishing powers of his mind.
But in the twilight of his life, as people continue to look to him for answers, Holmes revisits a case that may provide him with answers of his own to questions he didn't even know he was asking — about life, about love, and about the limits of the mind's ability to know.
