A movie that, incidentally, will have nothing whatsoever to do with the BBC show current or past. Which means it’s a fresh, brand spanking new take on the Doctor, starring an actor who won’t be Matt Smith, or a companion that won’t be played by Karen Gillan. Which means that will likely tick off some hardcore fans of the show, of which there are quite a bit.
Variety reports that Yates, director of the last four “Harry Potter” movies, is currently at work with the BBC to bring a new take on the Time Lord to the big screen. The first order of the day is to find a writer, after which Yates will direct.
The show is currently showing on BBC and BBC America with Matt Smith as the Good Doctor and Karen Gillan as his human traveling companion.
