" Steven Moffat has commented on the CBS Sherlock Holmes pilot Elementary. The project, which will transpose Conan Doyle&amp;#039;s detective to present-day New York, has been compared to Moffat&amp;#039;s BBC drama Sherlock. &amp;quot;They approached us to remake our show, we said no and they just decided to make one anyway,&amp;quot; Moffat told journalists at a press conference this morning (March 21). He added: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ll just leave you to speculate on what I think about that!&amp;quot; However, Moffat reiterated that Elementary is not officially considered a remake of Sherlock. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s not a re-version of our show, they just decided to make one anyway,&amp;quot; he said. The writer - who also works on Doctor Who - also joked that a US remake of the sci-fi drama would be &amp;quot;blasphemy&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;It wouldn&amp;#039;t be up to me, because the BBC owns Doctor Who and not me, but I don&amp;#039;t think it would be a good idea,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s only one Doctor and Doctor Who is a hit over there already, so no, I wouldn&amp;#039;t like that personally.&amp;quot; Elementary is currently under consideration for the CBS 2012-13 television season. A third series of Sherlock is expected to start filming in 2013. &amp;amp;gt; Sherlock Steven Moffat: &amp;#039;We haven&amp;#039;t started writing new series yet&amp;#039; Watch a clip from Sherlock&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;The Reichenbach Fall&amp;#039; below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
