It might still be... Though under wraps.

I can't remember where i read it, but i know one of the reasons DT is leaving is because he wants to 'up' his career to the big screen...

Oh noes! He might park on the bacon! :P Although DT in films...perhaps some science Doctor in the next Trek film? :P

There are two reasons why DT is leaving, he was asking more money than the salary cap of the Beeb BBC (when did I become British?), and DT was trying to avoid the Tarzan effect (for the Dutch among us, het Swiebertje effect). Or if you don't know it, the Batman effect (for Adam West), or rather typecasting.

[EDIT] Vanguard, do you want that moved?

Nope, it was a spoof/response in relation to Daleks post about DT being in the next ST movie.

He wanted to leave in his prime rather than drag on.

He has expressed interest in playing the Riddler in a future Batman movie.

That would be cool for DT...I can actually imagine him being in Batman. As long as he does "mad" well. :D

'Mad' is basically second nature to DT, lol.

Does anyone know where I can find a cheap leather coat, similar to that of Chris Eccleston's Doctor before next Saturday? Theres a con at Earls Court, London on the weekend of Sat 18th and Sun 19th. http://www.londonfilmandcomiccon.com/

Its pretty much established that i'm a 'universal geek' so I'd like to do a bit of Cosplay for my first con. Riddicule me all you want. I am not really bothered to tell you the truth.

I've already got a green jumper that I was given as a 'birthday present' (sister being cheap, lol) and black trousers and shoes that I wear for work. A leather coat would complete 'the look'.

I don't have a sonic screwdriver. But its not needed.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

Oh cool. But considering that RTD exhausted most of the good ideas...although he is itching to do something about the Time War, I'm sure of that. :D

That mostlikely wouldn't involve Tennant. ;) And neither would Eccleston be involved.

Oh yeah, silly me. :P

So what could RTD do for a movie then? He's already blown up the Cybermen and Daleks.

I've actually been thinking of how this could involve Tennant.

Either:

The final two specials with Tennant, maybe they're being sneaky and making that the movie.

or

*Possible Spoiler*

RTD Hinted that we may not actually see the regeneration!! What if this means, although the Doctor changes in the series, the regeneration doesn't take place until the movie?

What could happen is that the movie with Tennant involves River Song, and Tennant regenerates at the very end (as an old Time Lord).
That would work with the spoiler (I haven't heard it though) you mentioned.

Thinking of this, that movie would be like the novel the Time Travelers' Wife.

RTD Said it in an interview, I think it was with the BBC.

They really need to resolve the River Song story line somehow.

as an old Whovian (i was a fan of the good doctor BEFORE i ever saw trek!), I'm not much suprised. when ecclestone backed out so quick, I was starting to wonder if the new series was gonna end before it got grooving.  there was also, some time ago,  a rumor that the next gen doctor would regenerate into a female form.
since they've allready shown what looks like an "x doctors" episode (with a guy that looks like a chunky version of Peter Davidson), there must be something up.

something to keep in mind is that the doctor is down to his last three regenerations.  since he is the final living member of the Gallifreyan race, the old Whoniverse may die completely with his last regeneration (leaving only Torchwood behind)

let's hope The Doctor and The Master go out in a blaze of glory.
