Eugene Woodbury has translated the following:
The Space Alien
The Bronze Devil
The Phantom Doctor
Of them all, the last publication would possibly be the easiest to film, relying less on steam punk machines and related strongholds (which, for studios with larger budgets, would make for very fun viewing) and more on clues, a disguise, a hunt for treasure, and an escape.
All of those elements are in there from the beginning, starting with a startling burglary and possible assassin. The book never slows down!
The Sherlock Holmes is Detective Kogoro Akechi. His Watson is the equivalent of a Baker Street Irregular, only Yoshio Kobayash is better cared for (and goes to school).
