sHERlock: the screenplay
Sherlock Holmes rescues a beautiful actress’s nephew from a secret London boy brothel while hiding an even bigger He’s actually Eva Whittaker, a woman compelled by Victorian gender prejudice to pass as a man in order to follow her dream and become the world’s greatest detective.
Eva leads a double life. In public, She is the forensic mastermind we’ve always known. At home, she’s a gorgeous and passionate woman who is deeply conflicted because her public persona prevents her from fully realizing herself as a woman.
She and her lover, Dr. John Watson, live at constant risk of exposure, pregnancy, and sodomy charges.
In sHERlock, she must outwit a pedophile bank chairman and overcome official corruption to rescue a child sex trafficking victim, even as she struggles with her own identity crisis and copes with Watson’s growing infatuation with their beautiful client.
sHERlock is a gender-bending erotic romp through the Sherlock Holmes legend. It’s a story for our time, rich in drama, irony, humor and sexual politics, premised on the notion that the greatest intellect in fiction was actually a woman who grappled with the same societal roadblocks to success that still face women today.

The Black List--Making Sherlock a woman is an interesting idea and very much in the zeitgeist right now. The tone of this film is fun and playful while tackling serious topics, yet it still works and brings a nice lightness to the narrative. The love triangle at the end is a fun reveal that adds depth to Eva, Watson, and Adler and could be expanded upon even further. Fagin is a well-developed character who presents an interesting side to the film. He's well described and his littles are creepy yet intriguing at the same time.
Coverage, Ink--Much like other filmed versions of Sherlock, we get the same wit and humor that works really well; especially when alluding to differences in the sexes. …Sherlock being a female and having to hide it due to the times adds a unique spin…
