A new trailer of the forthcoming Sherlock Holmes film "Mr. Holmes" has been released.

The film stars Ian McKellen as a more mature version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic detective, now 93 years old and struggling to enjoy his retirement.

The aging Sherlock Holmes lives in a remote Sussex farmhouse and teams up with his housekeeper's son to grapple with an unsolved case about life and love.

Directed by Bill Condon, the film is based on Mitch Cullen's novel "Slight Trick of the Mind" that puts a twist on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional sleuth.

The film is set for a release in the UK on June 19.
