《神探夏洛克》第三季推迟开拍 两位主角档期满

Expecting the return of "Sherlock" next summer? Try late 2013. Perhaps even 2014, depending where you live.

Filming for Season 3 of the [w]beloved[/w] BBC series, which devotees expected to begin in January 2013, has been delayed to March, EW reports.

Production has been reportedly been postponed due to the demanding schedules of Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock Holmes) and Martin Freeman's (John Watson), now [w]full-fledged[/w] movie stars. Freeman has the leading role in "The Hobbit," while Cumberbatch is playing the hyped villain in "Star Trek 2."

However, the BBC insists that the January start date has "always been speculation":

"We have never confirmed which months we are filming," a BBC source tells Zap2it. "We are shooting and transmitting in 2013. That's all we have ever said -- any other specific weeks have always been speculation.

"From the U.K. point of view we will still film and transmit in 2013 as planned.".

PBS has not announced when "Sherlock" will air in the United States, but according to EW, it could be as late as (gulp) 2014.

【娱乐快讯】大热英剧《神探夏洛克》的粉丝们可能要再一次失望了。根据美国《娱乐周刊》的报道，原定于2013年1月开拍的第三季被推迟到了3月，这使得第三季开播时间要推迟到2013年底甚至2014年初，原因是因为两位主角分别都在忙于电影拍摄。

该剧的两位主演本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇和马丁·弗瑞曼目前电影片约不断，前者正在忙于电影《星际迷航2》的拍摄，而后者则正在电影《霍比特人》的忙碌宣传中。看来想看第三季的剧迷们还需要耐心等待一段时间。
