Sir Ian McKellen has shared a preview of his new film Mr Holmes.
The actor plays a 93-year-old Sherlock Holmes in the film, which was previously titled A Slight Trick of the Mind.
The film is based on a Mitch Cullin novel with a screenplay by Jeffrey Hatcher.
Set in 1947, Mr Holmes follows the detective living out his twilight years in a Sussex village with his housekeeper and her son, haunted by an unsolved case from 50 years before.
McKellen stars alongside The Thick of It's Roger Allam, Frances de la Tour and Patrick Kennedy.
Meanwhile, Hiroyuki Sanada, Phil Davis and Milo Parker will feature in supporting roles.
Earlier this month, McKellen received a BBC Audio Drama Award for his work on a version of Honoré de Balzac's 1833 novel Eugenie Grandet.
