It's not set when the books were set, though. If they're going to update it then they should actually update it and take into account the fact that England today is significantly different than the England the book characters lived in.

MTE. Seriously people, yes, the books are about well-to-do white dudes, but you know what? The books were written between 1890 and 1920. I'd really like to think that mores have changed somewhat between now and then.

This is true, but remakes aren't usually intending to push the barrier of innovative new things; they're usually meant to coast off of things that are already successful, and drastic changes could risk that success. Not that I think more non-white non-male characters wouldn't go unappreciated, but there are non-offensive explanations for why they kept the status quo.

It's 2011 and non-white, non-male characters are pushing the barrier of innovative new things?

It's 2011; originality is pushing the barrier of innovative new things.

+1

I love you best of all.

No--a remake of Sherlock Holmes with the main characters being other than they are in previous versions is pushing it. You branch too far into AU territory and you lose hard-core fans. More female characters? Sure. More characters from other races? Sure. More characters with any sort of variance? Sure. But I'm pretty sure--as an adaptation--that it would be less successful with a female Sherlock, black Watson, and gay Moriarty.

I'm sorry, did you just insinuate that Moriarty hasn't always been in love with Sherlock, in every version known to the Canon?

Well, maybe not openly. :) Obsessed like a creeper? Totally.
