The following statement from Steven Moffat should set Who fan's minds at ease. There was a bit of a kerfuffle on CBM when it was announced that a movie was in the works but that it would bare no relation to the much loved Tv series and cast a new Dr etc. Well according to Moffat that is not the case. Any movie would star the BBC's Dr (currently Matt Smith) and run in tandem with that show..
“To clarify: any Doctor Who movie would be made by the BBC team, star the current TV Doctor and certainly NOT be a Hollywood reboot. David Yates, great director, was speaking off the cuff, on a red carpet.
[Doctor Who] is a vitally important BBC brand with a huge international audience [that] not even Hollywood can start from scratch. There simply are no developed plans for a Doctor Who movie at the moment. If and when the movie happens it will need to star television's Doctor Who - and there's only ever one of those at a time.
Whatever happens, the BBC and BBC Worldwide will work together to ensure that we don't just get a movie, we get the movie that everyone wants.”
I'm not a big Dr Who fan but I'm very happy for the many fans that will be delighted by this news. Take that Hollywood!
