Yes, much like Steven Moffat I am a fan of posting my thoughts in two-parters. But I guess this shouldn’t really be thought of a two-parter. This is more like a follow-up post. I’ve had some time to think about this interesting idea and possibility of a massive Doctor Who film franchise. I mean the last massive franchise out of the UK was some little film like Harry Potter. So not much hype to live up to? Well you’re wrong! There’s a lot that needs to be covered and answered.

1. Who will play the Doctor? (WHO DAMMIT!?!?)
2. I’m calling out the timey-wimeyness of this franchise. When will it take place? After 11? Before 1?
3. If you do the first in a three-year process, will the others take as long?

Just a few to mention, you get the picture. But, I’ve given some thought to this. I’m not quite sure if it’s just the tumultuous amounts of caffeine flowing through me right now, but I’m really digging on the idea of combining the show and the film. There wasn’t much talk of doing so. But after brewing on conversations that I had on the day this report came out, I’m really excited. Yes I’d currently be disappointed if the Doctor wasn’t played by Matt Smith. However, if it were to be played by a new actor, who then took over the roll on the television show, I’d be on board. Continuity is what I’m hoping for. Yes, I know… continuity on Doctor Who? Am I mad? Perhaps.

But imagine this, say this, we get Matt (or a new Doctor) for the next 3-4 years. To which he regenerates in the film. It can be told in a story like, flashback sequence even! Hmm.. that may be the answer to get David Tennant and Chris Eccleston back in the swing of things. But imagine that, culminating a “Who” story on a huge movie like this every couple of years. That’d be huge. I’d pay $10 to see that movie every few years. I know every Whovian would. Don’t lie, it’s not good to lie.

But what I’m saying is that I’m on board. I’d like to see the Time War on a ginormic screen. I’d ignore which Doctor we saw. It’s obvious that we can’t see a guy like Tom Baker in the role, but having open your mind and try to have fun with the ideas that are possible when you don’t see time in such a straight line. I mean come on, it’s more like a big ball of timey…wimey… yeahhh.
