The Hound of the Baskervilles (1921 film) The Hound of the Baskervilles (1921 film) The Hound of the Baskervilles is a 1921 British mystery film directed by Maurice Elvey and starring Eille Norwood, Catina Campbell and Rex McDougall. It is based on the Sherlock Holmes novel "The Hound of the Baskervilles" by Arthur Conan Doyle. It was made by Stoll Pictures, Britain's largest film company at the time. Following the fifteen part "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" this was the first full length film starring Eille Norwood as Holmes and Hubert Willis as Dr. Watson. This was the second film version of "The Hound of the Baskervilles"
The Hound of the Baskervilles (2002 film) stars Richard Roxburgh as Sherlock Holmes and Ian Hart as Doctor Watson. Hart would play Watson again in the 2004 TV film "Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking", also written by Cubitt. The hound was a mix of animatronics and computer generated images and was created by the same team, Crawley Creatures and Framestore, that provided the dinosaurs for "Walking with Dinosaurs" and "The Lost World". This version diverges from the novel in a few instances. The film is set in the time period the original tale was published as opposed to when it was originally set.
