Sherlock Gnomes is an upcoming British-American 3D computer-animated fantasy romantic comedy mystery film that is being directed by John Stevenson. A sequel to 2011's Gnomeo & Juliet, the film stars the voices of James McAvoy, Emily Blunt, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mary J. Blige, and Johnny Depp. The film is being produced by Rocket Pictures, Paramount Animation and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, with the animation service provided by Paris-based Mikros Image. It will be the first film from Paramount Animation to be entirely animated, and the first fully animated film from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer since 2008's Igor. The film is scheduled to be released on March 23, 2018, by Paramount Pictures.
Gnomeo and Juliet recruit detective Sherlock Gnomes and his sidekick, Gnome Watson to help investigate the mysterious disappearance of the other garden gnomes.
In March 2012, it was reported that the film is in development at Rocket Pictures. Andy Riley and Kevin Cecil, two of the nine writers on the first film, are writing the script for the film. Steve Hamilton Shaw and David Furnish are producing the film, and Elton John, an exec producer, is again composing new songs for the film. The film will feature Sherlock Gnomes, "the greatest ornamental detective" hired by the characters from the first film, who will try to solve the mystery of disappearing gnomes. In September 2012, it was reported that John Stevenson, the co-director of Kung Fu Panda, has been set to direct the film. In November 2015, it was announced that Johnny Depp would voice Sherlock Gnomes and that the film would be released on January 12, 2018. However, unlike the first film, which was released by Disney under their Touchstone Pictures banner, Paramount Animation and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer are producing the film, with McAvoy and Blunt reprising their roles. In May 2017, the film was pushed back two months to March 23, 2018.Kelly Asbury, the director of the first film, will be involved in the sequel as creative consultant.
