Yes, It's a Slow News Day....

and I *am* working on 'Not Here' - really! But in the meantime, here's some more spin on the possibility of a DW movie, all based on comments made by Steven Moffat at the Edinburgh Television Festival last Saturday.

He (Moffat) added he was preparing for the “dreadful day” when Tennant decides to leave but refused to say whether it will be in the 2010 series.

While there has recently been speculation over how long current Doctor David Tennant, right, intends to stay in the role on television, it’s widely expected he would play the part in a future film.

“It’s well known that David would love to play the Doctor on the big screen,” says our series mole. “David has obviously played such a huge part in Doctor Who’s success recently and he certainly wouldn’t want to pass up on the chance of appearing as him in the cinema.”

Moffat has Hollywood connections with Steven Spielberg and said he would love to sign the director up to the project.


So... eeks. Personally, I doubt it'll happen, but.... *shrugs*

Y'know, in retrospect it's very, very easy to find things to not like about the movie. I remember at the time, though, I was so excited that DW was coming back, I really didn't care that much about the shortcomings of characterization, plot, etc. Now that we have the luxury of seeing how things *should* be done, it puts the movie in an entirely different light. That said, it'll be interesting to see what changes Steven Moffat brings about to the show - possibly we'll be having a similar discussion after Series 5?
