Agreed. Unless it's something she's involved with, which is unlikely, she's unlikely to know anything.

Even if she is...

I don't believe anything until it's officially confirmed, but it is the 50th anniversary in 2013. Could this be getting a multi-Doctor celebration ready early?

I know I was only teasing.

I'd go and see it whoever was in it. But I do have my doubts about a film made out in the States.

If they made a movie I'd want it to make the same transition to cinema as Star Trek did, when the series went on the big screen. It felt the same, it was the same cast, and it was the same format just on a bigger scale.

But hark at me sitting in my living room voicing my opinion...what do I know?

No - a multi-Doctor thing is for hard-core fans, not people who've never heard of the show at all, but you're hoping to persuade to part with their money at the cinema.

The recent Star Trek movie started development in 2005. Filming took place from November 2007 to March 2008. It opened in May 2009. These things take a long time.

And remember, it happened 12 years after the series was cancelled!

To do it with the show still running runs into the problem with the Simpsons movie - you can throw lots of money at it, but in the end it's just a longer episode of the show with bigger guest stars and more sets and effects.

Oh yes I forgot that.

Hmm I shut up now before I get myself into even more trouble.

Seconded!

Making a new Dr Who movie and putting Rose and Noble in it would be like a making a new Coronation Street film and having the story feature around Gary Mallett and Mavis Wilton.

Also I dont think we could all stomach seeing Piper and Tate in that much gory explicit detail on the big screen.

Sorry, but I have no idea who the characters you are refering actualy are, as I don't watch Coronation Street, and have no intention of ever doing so .


I am pretty sure there are far more people that 'could' stomach them, its just that they have a small but very vocal minority of people that don't like them and continuously slag them off. I have yet to see any of them offer any sunstantative reason for not liking the characters or actors though, it all seems to be petty baseless moaning.

As for gory and explicit detail, have you watching a different show? There is absolutely no gore or explicit material in Dr Who.

Don't get me wrong, I am not opposed to new characters, after all the show needs them to survive, just so long as they are not the one dimensional cardboard characters like we had to suffer in the darkest days of classic Who. Characters that exist just to say 'I don't understand Doctor' or 'Save me Doctor' are tedious in the extreme.

Sounds brilliant, doesn't it?

I think that the "specials" have shown that a film really wouldn't work.

i presume that depends on whether you liked them or not, and clearly more people on here liked them than didn't....and the wider audience liked them still better, so i don't think they prove anything of the sort, to be fair.

And I speak as someone with no interest in a DW film myself.

Agree with every word there...

I would love to see another movie, preferably one better than the last one

A DT DW film of would ever so squeesome, but then again, it would have to be agood story, as fight the future, the x files film was. Look what happened when they made a second film, it was like a rubbishy mid season episode stretched to 2 hours, and best forgotten IMO, so they would have to learn from the X files and make it a blockbuster of a story.

I feel that as far as a movie goes they've missed the boat in one way and the boat hasn't sailed in another.

Tennant has left the role and so it would be odd having a film with him in it and would also undermine Matt Smith. On the other hand Matt Smith has yet to prove himself in the role to make a film with him in it a viable idea.

Thats the point - they are ex-Corrie characters that have no bearing on what happens in Corrie now. Thge same applies to Rose and Noble.

Their time has gone.

I disagree. The stuff with the Vinvocci ship, while being a bit of a Star Wars ripoff and a laugh, showed there's room for ship battle action sequences and the like in Doctor Who. If this was done on a bigger budget for a 2 hour movie it would be great.

Oh My God No!!!!!!!!!!
Just look at how they destroyed HHGTTG on the big screen. Somethings MUST remain just on TV

Sorry to be thick but what is HHGTTG?

Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Originally a brilliant radio series, then a quite good TV series, most recently a crap film.

Um, radio actually. I'm sure a lot of people thought having it on TV ruined it, even using mostly the same main cast.

Required reading. For everyone, everywhere

Btw, someone has written a sixth part to the trilogy. I'm probably being terribly unfair- haven't read it, it might be brilliant- but all I can think of is this.

I think the movie proved that without Douglas Adams, they can call it what they like but it won't be Hitch Hiker's.

Weren't the new bits in the film (some at least) written by Adams though?
