‘Doctor Who’ in talks to appear on the big screen …

Writer Steven Moffat spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about the possibility of making a feature film that would tie into the ‘Doctor Who’ TV series. This is what he had to say…

[“It would be good to see it in the cinema so long as it is great and fantastic,” he said, speaking at a master class on the show at the festival here. But he cautioned that the the movie would need careful handling..”] — Hollywood Reporter

“I’m not against it … so long as it never gets in the way of the TV show. If it got in the way of the show that would be appalling

I’m not a die-hard fan of ‘Doctor Who’ but I have watched an episode or two of the new series and like what I’ve seen. I also remember having watched a lot of the original series with my uncle, who was big into the show. As for a feature film, I like to hear that they’re cautious in their approach, as not to interfere with the TV show, which is the primary mission… so to speak. It’ll be interesting to see where this goes, however it’s also worth noting that talks of doing a feature film of both ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘Red Dwarf’ have been lingering for years.
