Sources (and by sources – in this case, I’m referencing The Times of India) are reporting that Robert Downey Jr. has an interest in lining up Coldplay to perform the theme song for his new Sherlock Holmes movie.  Not that he has the power to do so (that honor will likely go to those with producing credits), but still an interesting thought to make a blockbuster out of this retelling.

Downey Jr., 44, believes that Martin, 32, will be the right person for the musical score, as the rocker is a huge fan of the super sleuth.

The actor also revealed that the singer has been offering him tips about playing Holmes on the big screen, and that he hopes Martin will be a part of Guy Ritchie’s much-anticipated movie.

“We are hoping Chris Martin of Coldplay will contribute to our score,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

“He’s a huge Sherlock Holmes fan. He told me you need to be really skinny, which is always the last thing you want to hear,” he added.
