Although "Sherlock" season 3 is currently on a hiatus from shooting, fans of Benedict Cumberbatch can still get a healthy dose of Mr. Holmes in the new film trailer for "The Fifth Estate."

Cumberbatch stars as Julian Assange, the infamous Wikileak founder, and reportedly the pair has communicated to prepare the "Sherlock" star for the role.

"Assange now thinks Benedict better understands his actions and motivations," a source said in March to Digital Spy.

Oddly enough, "The Fifth Estate" also features "Game of Thrones" star Carice van Houten (Melissandre). Just yesterday, "Sherlock" actor/writer/producer Mark Gatiss was revealed to be playing an unnamed role on the hit HBO series.

Although "Sherlock" season 3 is expected to air later this year, filming is currently on hiatus as Martin Freeman goes back to New Zealand to shoot more of "The Hobbit." So what's the progress on season 3 after all?

"We've done two. But we've now got a small gap - a small gap? A large gap! - while Martin (Freeman) goes back to New Zealand to film a bit more of the 'Hobbit' and then he'll return to us," says producer Steven Moffat during a recent interview with EW.

"Hopefully, by that time [Freeman's return], I'll actually have finished the 'Sherlock' script I'm writing and we'll make another one," says Moffat.

So for now, fans of "Sherlock" and Benedict Cumberbatch should soak in "The Fifth Estate" film trailer, until next you meet!
