We almost forgot about that Detective Pikachu game that never came out here in the states, you remember the one, with the talking Pikachu that dresses like Sherlock? Yeah, that one. Well it turns out that the planned movie is still on track to becoming a real thing. Thanks to Nintendowire, we now know that the movie is set to start filming in early 2018 in London and will still be directed by Rob Letterman (Goosebumps, Shark Tale).
