Yes l thought the Cushing films were not bad but yes the proof is in the pudding so until we get a proper release date for it then we can say its coming.

Becuase Steven Moffat has stong control over Doctor Who spin-offs (i.e. all spin-off books have to be approved by him) or Russel T Davids (who runs Torchwood)

Cleary not in this case. Movie rights are a bit different to a spin off and the BBC holds that afaik.

You may also have heard rumours about the Time Lord hitting Hollywood... We can confirm that a Doctor Who feature film remains in development with BBC Worldwide Productions in Los Angeles. However, there is currently no script, cast or production crew in place.
We'll bring you any significant movie developments as they're confirmed, but right now there's a lot more Doctor Who coming your way which is imminent and incredible... You'll get a glimpse of what we mean when we release the first image from the amazing Christmas Special later this week!

So officially it is in development but still really early on.

Re: Doctor Who 'to be made into film'
Projects can remain in development hell for a decade in Hollywood ... Or even longer. This isn't the first movie rumour, even since 2005, although it probably the most credible. It still doesn't mean it's ever going to happen.

The fact that the BBC have actually come forward and officially confirmed the fact though says there is a good chance it will happen.

Re: Doctor Who 'to be made into film'
An exceptional piece of poor reporting in the Daily Mirror today, stating that Matt Smith had been Dr Who since 2005, and that there had been only one previous spin off movie.
Wrong on both counts.
I think a Film would be good, and if done correctly could be amazing.
There various options that could be explored to keep the film within the Whoniverse, but if non of them would work I would have no objection to a completely stand alone movie.
The overiding question would be who to cast?
My suggestion.
A current star who's not too A-list, and a really good character actor..........Christoph Waltz.
There you go let's start a list.
1. Christoph Waltz....Good character actor, not A-list, best known from Inglorius Basterds

Re: Doctor Who 'to be made into film'
Not sure who I'd suggest. I do think they need to be British though.
Before X men:First Class, I'd have suggested James McAvoy, but I suspect he's too far up the A list now..
