Doctor Who Sonic Screwdrivers 2011-05-03_08-56-37_91When I first saw this note about David Yates wanting to direct a Doctor Who movie, I saw it long before anyone else was spun up about it, more than 24 hours prior to writing this.  Now, at the time that I put this together, there are 16 pages of Doctor Who results as everyone pings off of everyone else about this news.

But the news seemed hopeful at best and with the project slated to being a few years off, I said “meh” to myself.  I’ll wait and see how that really develops.

But then one site got ahold of it, a few others saw them, then others and so forth and so on.  This piece now has a life of its own.  So be it.

The movie news for the TV show Doctor Who said that David Yates, who had directed the last four Harry Potter movies, and TV shows like State of Play & The Bill, has been tapped by BBC to help develop a Doctor Who movie with Jane Tranter, the boss of the Los Angeles office  of BBC Worldwide Productions.

And right now, they’re looking for/at writers.

John Barrowman fr 2009 Comic-ConWith the advent of Torchwood: Miracle Day premiering on STARZ on July 8th, fans of the franchise can’t help but wonder, what with John Barrowman again reprising his role of Captain Jack Harkness, if there could be a chance if he might once again reprise that very same role in the new Doctor Who series with Matt Smith.

Yea… that would be pretty nice, wouldn’t it? Believe it or not, the idea has actually been brought up in the hallways and back rooms of the show-runners of Doctor Who & Torchwood, or so John Barrowman has teased the world.

Barrowman has indicated that both Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat have chatted about bringing back Harkness. Since Jack showed up in that swan song scene with David Tennant, the thought has stuck in their craw.

Barrowman has publicly made it known that he’d return to Doctor Who at the drop of a hat!  Whether it being in the cards will actually make it a reality is a totally different matter.
