Doctor Who movie in development

^ Come now. Be more imaginative.

How about that chick who played Luna Lovegood? (oh wait. Is she really British? Eh, who cares.)

She's a bit young to play the Doctor, don't you think? A companion, on the other hand...

Davison and Matt Smith were young to play the Doctor but they did it with gusto. I don't think the age matters as long as the person has the acting chops to convey the "but actually really old"ness that the Doctor has going on.

I'm still following my belief that it should be a prequel and that older actors should be considered.

Evanna Lynch could play a companion.

I have never seen an actor in his thirties, much less one younger than me, play an old man as convincingly as Smith. Crazy.

That, imo, is more interesting than, "hey, let's cast Anthony Hopkins. He's old and well-known."

I just have to point out that Davison didn't play "old". He could act as if he was older than he really was (it was a bit of a shock when I found out he was 29 when he took on the role), but Smith is the only one of the "young" Doctors that really acts like an old man.

Dude was in a wheelchair for a good chunk of his first episode. Or floating in a box. Dude was old.

PFB, sorry if I came across like I was mad at you for not reading the other thread. Of course you're welcome to follow or not follow whichever threads you like and, as far as I'm concerned, hop in whenever you like. But if you look at the other thread, you'll see that certain people tend to throw a fit when someone suggests a female doctor.

C'mon you fuckers it's clearly gotta be will smith.

...In the face of these women being suggested, I feel a lot better about suggesting Robin Williams.

Robin Williams could dress as a woman Doctor.

Yeah, you won me over with your other post. Especially if the opening is a mashup of the DW and Fresh Prince theme with your lyrics.

(gives up trying to take the entire concept of a Doctor Who film seriously)

The original series is done in a format where they can easily be edited into feature films (the DVD's are even designed this way). A film version wouldn't be that hard.

I'd love to see Tom Waits as The Doctor, mainly because I think the raspy-vagabond thing he has would work well for the Doctor

I'm confused now

I'm not. I'm happy.

Hollywood just shouldn't be allowed to touch Doctor Who, IMO.

See my theory that they would kill 11 off on screen wasn't insane after all!!!

...I was genuinely looking forward to it. Oh well.

I like your avatar

The supposed Doctor Who movie is just another rumor. It's not gonna happen.

Killing Smaug like a boss.

Dwarves...FUCK YEAH!

*ahem*

Hm. Maybe the Doctor could be a dwarf?

...Doctor Who set in Tolkien's universe? Sign. Me. Up.

SOMEONE write that fanfic!

The Doctor as Gandalf would be so awesome.
