Does anyone remember before the 1996 movie when speculation of Steven Spielgberg making a Doctor Who blockbuster, and they named David Hasslehoff to played The Doctor. They also suggested that The Tardis could speak.(weird)

If the Americas were to do a Hollywood version, which A-list actors would you cast in the roles?

Jonnhy Depp as the Doctor Megan Fox as the companion...perhaps

God forbid that any of this should ever actually happen, but actually Johnny Depp would make a pretty good Doctor, as long as he still played him as a British character (I know he's actually alien but you know what I mean!)

Helena Bonham-Carter!!! Yeah i'm with you there.

It would have to be directed by JJ Abrahams, he sexed up Star trek

I'd feed it to the crack that took Rory

Although a Tim Burton version of The Chase with Jonnhy Depp as the Peter Cushing Doctor & Helena Bonham Carter as the Monk could work for me.

Don't know about that. Doctor Who fans might fantasise about
a JJ Abrams / Peter Jackson / James Cameron DW film, but with our luck we'd probably get someone like Michael Bay
directing.

With Matthew McConaughey as the Doctor and Paris Hilton
as his companion.

Script by Jeffrey Archer and Stephanie Meyer, with a thumpin' soundtrack featuring Meatloaf, Jedward and
Mariah Carey.

With the monsters redesigned by comics artist
Rob Liefeld to add insult to injury.

Hugh Laurie as the Doctor.
Helen Baxendale as his companion.
Stephen Fry as the Master.
Dusty Bin as a Dalek.

That is terrible!

There has to be an American actor away from Jonny Depp who could play the Doctor. Remember Rutger Hauer? Doctor one, Christopher Plummer. Ralph Feinnes (I know he's English)
what about Bradley Cooper

I think Depp would make a great Doctor as would Downey Jr. And if it was Directed by Ridley Scott I'd be sold.

Dr Who is british and could never work in the America gung ho form...

It would be like us Brits trying to do Baywatch at Blackpool. All you would get is hen nights and turds in the ocean !

It sort of depends what you mean. A hollywood movie would be a disaster, but a Who movie set in America might work - I'm thinking of something along the lines of the original Highlander here. US money wouldn't work, maybe an American companion.

Though they killed the 'New' Avengers when they relocated to Canada.

I have to say the director would have to be JJ Abrams and I think they should keep MS as The Doctor (if not Robert Downey JR it should be). The companion should be someone like Scarlett Johansson or Zoey Deschanel

What about Jamie Bamber as The Doctor?

He's known to American audiences, so could work as a choice. If there was an American companion, it could be Madonna! That would rock!

Hugh Laurie maybe?

I could dig Depp in a movie version!
He'd probably be a re-imagined younger version of Hartnells First incarnation and the story would see The Doctor "borrow" the Tardis from Gallifrey and go on his first adventure.

For some reason I have the image of this movie in my head.

It would be in the style of 24

The Dr - Ben Stiller
Companion - Liv Tyler
Captain Jack - Jack Bower (Kiefer Sunderland)

The Master - David Boreanez
Davros - Robert Englund

There were rumours of a DW movie starring David Tennant last year, but they don't seem to gone beyond a few execs discussing the idea. In any case I couldn't see Tennant starring as the Doctor in a film while his successor was trying to winTV audiences over-it would come across as unprofessional.

I think this is the only way they could do a movie without causing upset to someone.

It might make a good plot, actually.

But who would play a young 1st Doctor?

Gene Hunt for the Comic Relief special... I need no movie to have satisfaction.
