The British series of the Sherlock Air Force Channels, telling about Sherlock and Watson, which now live today, enjoys a great success worldwide. Americans could not pass by the hitched series and last year the CBS channel offered the British BBC channel to remove his remake of the series for American spectators. The British refused, but the Americans did not stop it, and in CBS they decided to their own project development. The series was named "elementary" (Elementary) and already announced the shooting of the pilot series.
When Hartswood Films, which produces Sherlock's series with Benedict Cumberbetch and Martin Friman for BBC, has risen about the desire of CBS to transfer the adventures of the detective in modern New York, they commented on it: "We so understand that CBS wants to shoot your version of adventures Sherlock Holmes in our time. It is very curious because some time ago they turned to us with a proposal to remove the remake of our series. When we refused, they assured us in their honesty, so that we suggested that their modern Holmes would not look like our, otherwise it will be very unpleasant. "
According to BBC lawyers on copyright, the concept of modern Sherlock Holmes cannot be protected, but all the original elements inherent in the British TV series - who are not prescribed by Conan Doyle characters, computers, gadgets, SMS correspondence and communication on Skype as a primary means, external The kind of heroes, musical accompaniment and a certain original visual style of the British "Sherlock", everything that was so loved by the series around the world, and especially in the USA - all this could be the subject of a trial if the Americans still decide to launch their project.
