Another "reboot"

I said the Star Trek reboot was good, but not great, and I both stand by that and look forward to where it goes in the future.
I would now like to give an example of another, older franchise being reimaged, but in a manner which really makes me cringe ...
I would not be surprised to hear that this Holmes is the illegitmate son of van Helsing and Queen Elizabeth, with Dr. Watson as the secret head of the Knights Templar and Professor Moriarty as the Antichrist. It just has that sort of vibe to it.
