In this Season One, we will feature the production of the film Sherlock Holmes: Mare of the Night, a TriGoodwyn production headed by filmmaker CJ Goodwyn. We will visit with CJ Goodwyn, members of his crew, the cast, and the production team. In episode 2, I visited with Emily Edwards, who had the role of Mary Watson in Sherlock Holmes-Mare of the Night.
Emily Edwards, originally from Lubbock, Texas, has seamlessly transitioned from a rich stage performance background to the film industry, bringing her passion for character development to the forefront. Known for her recent role in “Sherlock Holmes—Mare of the Night,” Emily draws parallels between her interpretation of Mary Watson and the dynamics of the original Sherlock series, seeing her character as pivotal in exploring the intricate relationships with John Watson and Sherlock Holmes. The transition from theater to film has challenged Emily to adapt to the absence of real-time audience feedback, prompting her to rely on the collaborative nature of film sets and her instincts. Through thoughtful script analysis and engaging discussions with directors and co-actors, Emily has enhanced her craft, finding new depths in portraying complex character relationships on screen.
