Is the TARDIS headed to the big-screen?
If you believe the stories floating around yesterday, director David Yates is working with the BBC on a project that would bring the good Doctor to the silver screen in a reboot.
However, today it appears the BBC is denying the film is happening on the time table described.
BBC executive Edward Russell tweeted, “Off Twitter for a few hours and the Doctor Who world explodes. There’s always talk of a movie. Perhaps? Maybe one day. But not right now!”
And the official Doctor Who Magazine (which works closely with the BBC) also denies the movie is happening. They tweeted, “To those hearing Doctor Who movie rumours, it’s just the same rumours which have been going round for years. Nothing’s currently happening!”
So, who do we believe?
Well I follow Stephen Moffatt on Twitter, and he has stated a number of times that no such film is being developed, and that if Doctor Who were to go to the big screen that the incumbent actor in the title role would also take on the part in any movie being filmed.
I personally think David Yates was simply talking while riding the high of his Harry Potter movies and just blurted all of that nonsense.
