Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock – Trailer

Dr Who has a new video game coming out that looks absolutely fantastic. With Matt Smith as the Dr and Alex Kingston as River Song as the main characters of this game. What little I can find out on the game play is that you are either one or the other character and you are romping through time and space meeting up with classic and modern Dr Who monsters and villains in a series of challenges. Well that is good enough for me. Sadly it will be one of those exclusive releases that will be released for the PS3 and PS Vita via the PlayStation Network and then shortly after for the PC .I knew I should of went for the PS3 . Oh well what can you do. I am going to have to settle for the PC version of the game when it comes out.

Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock will launch globally, initially on PS3 and PS Vita via the PlayStation Network, in March 2012 with a PC version due shortly after.

Players will be up against the most feared monsters from the Doctor Who universe -- the Cybermen, Daleks, Silurians and the Silence.  Read more... (232 words, 1 image, estimated 56 secs reading time)

Dr Who Updates and Rumors

 

So the speculations are building exactly what is going to be happening in the upcoming 7th Season of Dr Who. Sometimes saying 7 seasons sounds so wrong because the series is much much older then that but the powers to be started recounting after the resurrection of the series back in 2005 with Christopher Eccleston as the 9th Dr, so who am I to argue or complain. Anyway Dr Who TV who always has some really good inside stuff has some speculations of whats to come also some facts. For example they know there will be 14 episodes in all . That is 13 regular shows and 1 Christmas special. It is quoted by Moffat that there will be no 2 parters or highly unlikely. Rory and Amy will be in plenty of episodes and there will be with out a doubt an exit of them in what is said to be a heartbreaking way. It is also said that there are going to be some classic monsters returning to the series from the older series of the 60's and 70's. Which will be fun to speculate which ones they may be.  The airtime will be in Autumn of 2012 ( which really sucks because of the wait in-between) which should be the same on both sides of the Atlantic.  Read more...

Dr Who to hit the Big Screen


David Yates, the director who did the last 4 Harry Potter movies is now turning his attention to creating a movie franchise of Dr Who. In an interview with Variety he acknowledge that he is starting work with "Jane Tranter, head of L.A.-based BBC Worldwide Prods".In this interview he states that this will be a brand new revision of the Dr and he would be starting from scratch and it would be completely fresh. He points to the fact the Russell T. Davies and then Steven Moffat have done their own transformations, which were fantastic, but we have to put that aside and start from scratch. Yates also points out that he is looking for writers that this will be a long process that will take a couple of years at least and he is not limiting the search for writers just to the UK but to both sides of the Atlantic.
"We're looking at writers now. We're going to spend two to three years to get it right," he told Daily Variety, adding "It needs quite a radical transformation to take it into the bigger arena." Words which will sound alarm bells to the die-hard Doctor Who fans.  Read more... (895 words, 1 image, estimated 3:35 mins reading time)
