"Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch has insisted that he does not object to CBS pilot Elementary. The US project will follow a modern day Sherlock Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) as he solves crimes in contemporary New York, in a format similar to the Cumberbatch BBC drama.   &amp;quot;As we already know with the Downey Jr movie franchise that there&amp;#039;s room enough for two [Sherlock Holmes projects], so why not three?&amp;quot; the actor said at a Q&amp;amp;A session in New York to promote Sherlock series two airing on PBS. Cumberbatch added that he considers Trainspotting star Miller - with whom he starred in the play Frankenstein at the National Theatre - a &amp;quot;friend&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;[Elementary will] be different and I don&amp;#039;t think it&amp;#039;ll take away the love for ours, and there&amp;#039;s no reason to be churlish or bitter about them or what they&amp;#039;re trying to do,&amp;quot; he said. In March, Sherlock co-creator Steven Moffat revealed that CBS had been denied permission to remake the show, before embarking on its own Conan Doyle adaptation. A third series of Sherlock is expected to begin filming in early 2013, while Elementary is a strong contender for the CBS 2012-13 television season. &amp;gt; Sherlock series three details revealed by Mark Gatiss Photo gallery - &amp;#039;Elementary&amp;#039; pilot shoot in New York: "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
