Then there was that Pudding Lane 'incident', never mind the 'Nero's Rome' incident. Let's face it, The Doctor's a complete Health and Safety Gawn Mad menace!

I know non-fireball suggestions might be heresy, but let's remember the fireball is a CGI effect. They could go back to the original raw footage and make an entire film about the 9th Doctor running away from different things.

They could make Fireman Sam his companion. That'd get more kids excited.

They could have Fireman Sam ask the Doctor really longwinded questions to which the answers are things like "Ghosts from the past", "Aliens from the future" and "The day the Earth died in a ball of flame".

I'm sure creative minds could get a two-hour epic out of that trailer alone.

i wasn't referring to the regeneration, I was referring to the scene from Parting of the Ways which was included in Day of the Doctor.

Still don't see why a new contract would have to be done. BBC Wales and BBC Studios are still a part of the same corporation.

There was no 'seconds' of LEGO, just building blocks and minifigures! And there aren't even any figures with Play-Doh - something else being turned into a film currently. It seems to be a new trend in Hollywood in being creative with already existing properties.

Ah, I see what the problem is here. You're confused over the difference between a 10-second piece of footage and a concept.

A concept can be expanded indefinitely. The only limitation is the imagination.

A 10-second piece of footage, however, lasts for ten seconds. Even if you play it in slow motion, it can't be expanded very much. There is no way that an actor who appears silently for 10 seconds can be the leading man in a film.

Hope this helps.

Yeah but you can build a story around a 10 second clip just as you can with LEGO (proven by Lord and Miller). There's absolutely no reason why a 10 second clip couldn't be a stimulus for something bigger.

"So chaps, what's your pitch for this movie? What's the hook, the inspiration?"

"Chris Eccleston running down a corridor away from a CGI explosion."

"Erm."

....we don't see why he was running down that corridor. What he was running away from. What if it was a controlled fireball able to lock into and follow its target? What if it was a part of a bigger plot? Who could send such a thing? Daleks...or something else?"

One would presume so. Although the film Doctor Who: Fireball XL has a ring to it.

Deep Fireball
Into the Fireball
Kill the Fireball
Fireball on the Orient Express
In the Fireball of the Night / In the Forest of the Fireball
Dark Fireball / Fireball in Heaven
Last Fireball (RIP)

The fireball could cross over into other films/franchises too. Kind of like a Shared Cinematic Fireball

Isn't it becoming pretty obvious someone's bored and winding people up for sport? The dignity of the responses is admirable but totally undeserved. It's getting nonsensical.

What would be the point in that?

Proof that I'm not winding people up related to a earlier discussion:

If you genuinely think it's viable for anyone to construct a 14 film series based on each Doctor including a mega budget movie based around one ten second sequence then it's difficult to know what more responses there can be without quite frankly being a bit rude. I mean the entire concept is a bad joke.

Kudos for the amount of effort you put into your wind-up material.

Apart from all the reasons that every other poster here has pointed out, and apart from the fact that you are talking utter nonsense.

But you've kept me and many others on this forum well entertained with your increasingly bizarre and unhinged posts, so well done.

It's either insanity or Olympic-standard trolling. The idea that a 9th Doctor's movie in a pre-commissioned series of 14 (or more) movies could have just 10 seconds of Eccleston is comedy gold.

The rest of the film would have 90-120 minutes of people talking about the Doctor while his actual appearance would be 10 seconds of footage from an old TV trailer shot on SD video. And this is somehow comparable to The Lego Movie? Seriously, WTF?! Did the Lego Movie show 10 seconds from an old Lego advert and then spend 90-120 minutes on a storyline which only ever mentions Lego without ever showing it?

Are we really supposed to believe that Dalekbuster523 can't grasp the difference between shot footage and a concept?

Personally my impression is that Sony would part fund the film version with BBC Films and Worldwide with possible considerations in the contract. I don't think they would 'Hollywoodise' the franchise. For example they help to rejuvenate the Bond Franchise with Daniel Craig and look how brilliant and successful Skyfall was.

If anyone was to help with a Doctor Who movie Sony would be my first pick. If they can do it with a British institution like James Bond, then they can do it with Doctor Who. If anything I reckon Daniel Craig would be a bloody brilliant actor to play the Doctor!

That's why you wouldn't have 90-120 minutes of people discussing the Doctor. Rather 10 minutes of Rose trying trying to work out where the Doctor is and investigating with the TARDIS to try and figure out where he is (maybe he even disappeared in front of her in the TARDIS?), 10 minutes of Rose exploring where the TARDIS lands, one minute as Rose explores a nearby building, finds 9 running away from a fireball and runs with until he mysteriously disappears again, another minute where Rose reenters the building and sees 9 running away from the fireball again, 10 minutes of Rose enlisting help from UNIT and other unlikely places to find out what's going on, 20 minutes of UNIT fighting a invasion from those behind the fireball during which they find out the fireball is locked onto its target of the 9th Doctor and that these invaders have trapped 9 in a time loop until the fireball kills him before he can regenerate, 5 minutes of Rose travelling back and exploring a different area of the building where she finds a strange device, 5 minutes as the leader of the alien invaders seen earlier appears and explains it's what brought 9 here and taking Rose captive, 10 minutes of the invaders being attacked by someone (who then saves Rose), two minutes of Rose destroying the device (which not only causes 9 running from the fire ball to return to the TARDIS but brings him out of the time loop) and five minutes of Rose on her own sitting in the TARDIS in thought as a monologue from Billie Piper is heard.

That would surely be Popkins. My username is not Popkins.
