Hey folks, due to the prayers nightly of myself and a large cache of Paul Anderson haters, Cthulu seems to have granted us our wishes by removing this monstrosity from the production of DOCTOR WHO. In fact it is a whole new game now. Here's the latest, and this is confirmed....
Hello Harry
IRON EAGLE here. We havent spoke before, but i over the past week i have been bombarded with some info, that i dont know wether will interest you or not.
BBC Worldwide last year comisioned filmakers Paul Anderson and Jeremy Bolt [Soldier, Event Horizon] and their Impact films to set about bringing a Doctor Who movie to fruition. A script was nearly done and was said to be Matrix like in concept. People like Denzel Washington and Samuel. L. Jackson were linked with the role of the good Doctor. However the script strayed away from the material it was based on. Why even call it Dr Who? Eventually BBC Worldwide birked at the overflowing budget expectations and pulled the plug. Dr Who The Movie was dead [again]
That is until Friday night. BBC Worldwide have just struck up a deal with Disney's Buena Vista and Hollywoods Mutual films to bring the Doctor back onto the big screen [remember the two 1960's movies with Peter Cushing?]. No producer has of yet being named. But i do work at the Beeb, and i can tell you that this is THE biggy in the Dr Who Universe. Big name directors have been mentioned. Like John Glen, Sidney.J.Furie and Russel Mulcahey. The biggest of all though seems to be Michael Apted, from The World is not
Enough. And the beeb are apparently lining up rat nosed Tom Selleck to play the good Doctor.
All this is true. And if you dont believe me then what happens over the next few days will prove very interesting indeedd.
