Recent reports have claimed that Brad Pitt will be joining the cast of Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes.

However, the studio is saying this isn’t true!

London’s Daily Mirror claimed that Pitt was expected to arrive in London this week to begin filming scenes all over the city as Holmes’ nemesis, Moriarty.

However, a studio rep is telling Us Weekly “The report in today’s London Mirror is completely inaccurate. Brad Pitt is not joining the cast of Sherlock Holmes and we’re extremely pleased with the production of the film. As planned, it will be released on Christmas Day, 2009.”

They continued, “In order to complete the movie, we’ve scheduled a few days on set to shoot a couple of additional scenes, obtain pick-up shots, and perfect some of the visual effects elements, all of which is standard filmmaking practice.”

Rumors claimed that Ritchie decided to add Pitt to the cast, alongside Robert Downey Jr as Holmes and Jude Law as Dr. Watson, after seeing the first edit, but apparently this isn’t the case!

Honestly… we don’t know what to believe! Someone needs to do a little detective work to get to the bottom of this debacle.
