Okay... I believe it when I see it. Next question.... Why couldn’t it be with McGann?

By the sounds of it, because he's a bloke?

By the sounds of it, because he's a bloke? I am still not sure what to think of the whole „we make everything female now in entertainment because we are enabling women“. When in real life I am not seeing a lot of it. I would be MUCH happier if the entertainment side got toned down a notch and in real life mansplaining and treating me like a second class citizen (including having a tougher time at salary negotiations) would be improved on. And especially people looking down on single women. Thank you. All I can see is general resentment in the male population the way things are going and it does not really help me. It is as if I have to constantly apologize for having two X chromosomes just because by luck of the draw a certain sperm of my dad dug faster though my mums egg than another. Which was entirely NOT my fault. Rant over. I still still want McGann.

I'll wait to see what comes of this rumour, but hopefully not a TARDIS with lips and the casting of David Hasselhoff..* *for those who didn't know..pre the TV movie the British press ran stories of a possible feature film. The Hoff was one of the possible contenders for the role and there was talk of giving the TARDIS a complete revamp inc a giant pair of lips on the wall of the console room. Fortunately it was just a rumour, but can you imagine?....😱 😱 😱 😱

This come and goes every few years.
Not seeing it happen until NuWho finishes (however that happens) and that won't be for a good long while, much to the shagrin, sore fingers and perpetual stumping of a certain Twitter hashtag. Actually, strike that: this is a Lady Doctor too, so hope they invested in plaster casts.

Oh it’s that time of year again.
You could probably set your calendar to the annual Torchwood is returning, Tenth Doctor and Rose are returning and Doctor Who Movie rumours.

This idea crops up every few years and then it goes away again. I'm not sure about it as a notion, to be honest. Yeah, a huge Doctor Who extravganza would be fun and could be a boost to the franchise. It might be the style of stories last year but to me, the current Doctor doesn't *feel* like she belongs on the big screen. Maybe that was just me. To be honest, if you want to make a Doctor Who movie that has a chance of mainstream appeal, you'd either need to put a really recognisable face in the lead. I'd pay serious cash to see Emma Thompson or Hayley Atwell or (insert any one of a dozen names) as the Doctor if they were intent on a female Doctor, but if I wanted the best chance of my Doctor Who movie doing really well I'd stick a huge pile of cash in front of David Tennant and start pleading. Nothing to do with gender. I just think a big screen David Tennat Doctor Who film would have the best chance of success. However, I think we might be back here in ten years having the same conversation with Peter Cushing remaining the only big screen Doctor.

I remember when the rumours about 2011 or 2012 of David Yates doing a Who film came about, Moffat said there was no chance there would be a Who movie while the TV show was still on air, that it was either/or essentially.
The Sony email hack a few years ago did confirm DW was a property they had looked at developing under Amy Pascal's regime so there's been real interest, however fleeting. I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility. We live in a world where Downton Abbey has been a big screen hit so there's no reason why Who couldn't (it was in 1965!) and Sherlock too, possibly Luther also.

The BBC told Moffat that McGann wasn't a big enough name to replace Eccleston for the 50th when that was Moffatt's backup - they're not giving him a movie anytime soon as wonderful as that'd be I wouldn't even be confident that any film would be in continuity. A reboot with a film actor was the rumour when David Yates was talking it up in the Smith era. He was quite chatty about it, which I think annoyed the Moff, no end. He used one of his DWM columns to say IF there was a Doctor Who film while he was in charge then Matt Smith, or whoever was the incumbent, was going to be the lead.

I don’t know how to feel about this🤔 I like the idea of Doctor Who movie with Jodie Whittaker or a past Doctor that would be within continuity with the tv show but not a total Hollywood movie reboot. I know they did that in the 60s with Peter Cushing but the whole idea of doing it now kind of makes me feel a bit dirty inside!

I understand that the whole thing is of course a commercial enterprise.
Although I never bought into the "big name" business myself and let story and characters stand on their own merit (otherwise I would never have found my way to Big Finish with their "third rate" actors ). At least we can dream. I would even have crowdfunded it.

Upside- making the franchise more mainstream and approachable for general audience could give it a great boost and ensure the future for a while to come. We do not need to like it, but it would be great if many more people did. Downside- well, look at other franchises and how other "big name" franchise movies have turned out when the baseline got sidetracked by commercial and "modernization" considerations. There are far too many to mention.
This could also go pear-shaped and make the general audience ask "what the heck is this supposed to be?" plus alienate the long-term fan base.
It would certainly take a genius to pull it off. But I do not think it would be impossible.
After all, I REALLY liked the first re-boot Star Trek movie (although I expected to hate it). That was a great surprise. However, I quite despise the sequels...

No interested while tennants female clone is in charge or the ever annoying Bradley Walsh is about (if there was ever a companion I want to die it’s him!)
But seriously what do films really have to offer above the tv series these days..........Tv spends the budget much better than a movie does........if you been unlucky enough to watch the downtown movie........it was just a feature length episode, the movie thing added absolutely nothing..........

The current Dr (& if you read the article it says the movie would have a new doctor anyway) is far less annoying & smug than Tennant. Also, Walsh isn't "ever annoying".

See, I really enjoyed what Beyond did, but although I can watch watch the first two, I don't really think of them as Trek. Trek-adjacent like Mass Effect, maybe. If we're looking at previous movies, I think all three nailed their respective Doctors -- Cushing's a delight and McGann was a perfect choice -- but they tended to fumble a bit on the writing. The goofy slapstick of the first two tends to overshadow the stakes and the latter feels like some of those longtime references are really wedged in there. A bit of a shame really because there are some genuinely great performances and scenes in there (I'll always remember Eight's "Please, you have to get me out of here before they kill me again," in the back of the car). If you scooped up someone like Neil Gaiman maybe it could work?

I'd really be on board for a Doctor Who movie if it were with the then current Doctor. I want it to be classically "weird" like Doctor Who should be. I want it to be high concept science fiction but also down to Earth and focused on the Characters. But the biggest thing is that I do not trust current Hollywood to do good by the Doctor.
