AceShowbiz - "Sherlock" is coming to the big screen. The upcoming Victorian-era special "Sherlock: The Abominable Bride" will receive a limited roll-out in U.S. and U.K. movie theaters when it premieres in January 2016.
The special will screen in theaters on January 5 and 6 at 7:30 P.M. local time, just days after it premieres on TV on January 1. The theatrical version of the episode will include 20 minutes of exclusive content not shown on TV, including a guided set tour of 221B Baker Street with executive producer Steven Moffat and a short "making-of" with stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.
The special is expected to play in more than 500 theaters. Tickets can be purchased online on FathomEvents.com beginning on November 6.
BBC Worldwide executive vp Soumya Sriraman told EW, "We have a franchise that creates excitement for all the right reasons. Three years in a row we've taken 'Doctor Who' out to theaters and it breaks records each time. Fans want to congregate and share 'Sherlock' together."
PBS Masterpiece executive producer Rebecca Eaton added, " 'Sherlock' fans just can't get enough of the show in any way, shape or form. Offering the show on lots of platforms makes it more of an event; good buzz raises all boats."
